London, 1969. Charlie Croker has just finished a three year stretch, courtesy of Her Majesty's Prisons, and has an idea: to steal $4,000,000 in gold bullion, right from under the noses of the Mafia and the Turin Police.
This is where you come in... as one of his drivers, you'll have to master 14 vehicles, including flashy sports cars and the legendary Mini Cooper, as you screech down sewers, roar over rooftops and tear through the Alps, with the Mob and the law hot on your heels

In 1969, the film The Italian Job was released in the U.K. and almost immediately achieved cult status. This game, like the film, concerns Charlie Croker, who is out of jail and on the make again. He is attempting to steal $4 million in gold in broad daylight from under the noses of the Turin polizei and the Mafia. The title features a total of six playing modes in which gamers thrash three Austin Mini Coopers and 11 other vehicles around massive, freeform areas in London, Turin, and the Alps. Road, off-road, and rooftop driving are all included in The Italian Job, which delivers the ultimate mix of high-speed pursuit and thrilling chases.
