A movie tie-in some 30 years after the film seemed doomed to failure, but Pixelogic's The Italian Job proved a surprisingly good time.

Great review as always. There are some really strange licenced driving games on the PS1. 007 Racing and World's Scariest Poloce Chases spring to mind.

@Steadysphere 2 года назад

Both games I'd like to try eventually! Cheers Dave :D

@@Steadysphere No not 007 racing! Its so frustratingly bad. Which probably intrigues you more now 😆

Honestly one of my favourite ps1 games from my childhood. It introduced me to the 1969 movie too.

I remember them putting the epic three-car escape level from near the end of the game on a demo disc and I played that loads. Didn't know the devs did Crime Killer: it was a futuristic, open-world driving game that was quite an interesting idea. Top review mate :)

It was a good call as that's probably the best level! Yep, one on my to play list eventually! Cheers squire

Love these character models! Looks pretty interesting honestly, might check this out down the line!

2001 baby 😂 You should!

I bought this when it came out in the US. I remember reading that it was a budget title at $10 and from "the makers of GTA 3" so it seemed like a no brainer. Unfortunately, I never got into it. I wish I still had it because I'd give it another chance. Also I've become a big fan of film over the years. I'm sure I'd appreciate it more now.

Worth a look, not a perfect game but very fun.

@SweatyCowch 2 года назад

The "trying to look realistic on the ps1" graphics and style of gameplay both appeal to me. You didnt say it controls terrible so I'll definitely be trying it. I'm actually wondering why I'm not driving on rooftops right now.

@Steadysphere 2 года назад

Worth a go!

@swooperd 2 года назад

Never played this but its very common on ebay. Looks like it hasn't aged well but sounds like good fun.

@Steadysphere 2 года назад

Definitely a bit porridgey looking but good fun!

After I reviewed the PS2 game a few years back, a bunch of people told me that this was the better game of the two. I can see why. Certainly looks like it has a bit more going on.

@Steadysphere 2 года назад

I haven't played that one but I remember your review. It's definitely better!

@MakopoweredGaming 2 года назад

This has been on my radar for a while, considering it was released for a budget price in North America. I love the original movie and it's good to know that the game is worth checking out!

@Steadysphere 2 года назад

I think it'd make a great episode of Weekend Rental bud!

Bit of a a budget Driver clone this one, but being easier than Driver 2 on average and running better than it, makes it worth a try.

Another weird thing I learned. The Driving physics are very different between PAL and NTSC versions. PAL is much weightier (and feeling kinda closer to Driver) while NTSC is very floaty on turns.
