Some may not feel this game is worth their money but then, again, they're most likely not familiar with the film. Then there are those of us who remember when the film first came-out and thoroughly enjoy watching it at every chance we get. No, Marky Mark's feeble attempt to emulate the original 'Italian Job' is NOT worth the cost of a ticket EXCEPT for the part where the female lead drives her (REAL) 'Mini Cooper' (NOT a BMW knock-off) through the streets of LA to her locksmith shop. And the ONLY connections to the original film seem to be the choice of Minis (in LA?!) and the opening theft in Venice. (It DID take place in Italy after-all). Guess that proves the British claim Hollywood is bereft of orginal ideas and can only seek to emulate British creations (All in the Family, Sanford and Son, Three's Company, etc). To 'get' the gist of the game you MUST first watch the film - preferably on a large screen (without a hoard of screaming children present). While it doesn't completely follow the film's plot to a 't' - it DOES give one the feel of taking part in what has become aclaimed, world-wide, as the greatest filmed car chase ever known. (Yes, even better than 'Bullit' or 'Fast the Furious') And get this kids! It's all REAL! No computerized gimmicks - unlike all those that've come out recently. They actually jumped 3 Minis from one roof to another as portrayed in the get-away sequence and drove them through a storm-drain pipe! They didn't HAVE computers to produce graphics in those days! We were lucky to have computers capable of addressing paychecks let alone produce realistic looking cars performing aerial stunts. Hats off to Msr. Remy Julian and the producers of this game. Of course - it would've been nice to be able to 'drive' through the streets of London and Turin beyond the confines of the few blocks provided in the game.
