The Italian Job
[ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذه الصورة]You don’t see games like The Italian Job every day. The game itself
isn’t particularly extraordinary–it’s a lighthearted mission-based
driving game that takes you through the streets of London, to Turin,
and finally to the Swiss Alps. Of further note, it’s brought to you by
the makers of the notoriously gory Carmageddon series (no signs of any
gore here, though), it’s based on a 1969 heist film starring Michael
Caine and the late Benny Hill, and it was originally released some
months ago for the Sony PlayStation. Actually, the PC version of The
Italian Job shows its roots in all these respects, and despite some
rough edges, it makes for a fun ride that justifies the budget price.Help Charlie Croker steal a cool 4 mil from under the Mob’s nose.
The Italian Job stars cockney wise guy Charlie Croker, who is fresh out
of prison and is already looking to get into more trouble–trouble, in
the form of $4 million that the Mafia already has its eyes on. The plan
is to cause a major pileup in the streets of Turin and make off with
the loot while the authorities and the Mob are scrambling to figure out
what happened. In the game, you’ll take on 16 different missions, first
gearing up for the heist, then pulling it off, and then getting away
scot-free. Along the way, you’ll get to drive eight different vehicles,
including everything from a nimble Mini Cooper to a bus filled with
explosives. The missions are all short, but they’ll often require you
to try them a number of times before you get them right. This isn’t
really frustrating, because the missions are quite fun, requiring you
to pull off some outrageous driving moves in densely packed urban
settings, and failing a mission never sets you back more than a few
minutes.The
controls are a cinch. Even if you’ve never played a driving game
before, you’ll be able to pick up and play The Italian Job easily. You
can accelerate, brake, and turn left and right. The hand brake lets you
execute sharper turns, and you can sound the horn of your vehicle to no
real effect, and that’s it. A damage meter indicates how close you are
to totaling your car, though no incremental damage to the vehicle can
be seen as you bang it up. The game’s physics aren’t particularly
realistic, but they’re good enough, and the various vehicles you’ll
drive are satisfyingly different in how they handle. Between the
open-ended environments and the relaxed driving mechanics, The Italian
Job is most reminiscent of the Midtown Madness series, though it’s also
comparable (though not favorably) to Driver or even the driving
portions of Grand Theft Auto III.The Italian Job maybe isn’t
quite as out-of-the-blue as it might seem. Between the resurgence of
the Mini Cooper’s popularity and the ongoing production of a Hollywood
remake of the 1969 film starring Mark Wahlberg and Ed Norton, The
Italian Job’s appearance on the PC isn’t pointless. The game is simple
and in some ways even a bit crude, and the entertainment it offers is
relatively short-lived, but it’s not a bad deal at $20, and it’s got a
lot more personality than you’d find in your average PC game.
