Anyway, I will send it again written FINAL VERSION after some weeks, below is what I've got. - Game Controls. - Game Modes. - Full Walkthrough. - Ending. - Strategies for the Challenge Mode. - Some hints and tips. - An interview with this game's managing director. - And some secrets, like a secret Job and a miniature car. That's it, 'til my next FAQ/Walkthrough. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Final Version - 61 KB -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nothing new here, just as I said, I'm sending a "FINAL VERSION" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 2 - [INTRODUCTION] ----------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome everybody to my The Italian Job FAQ/Walkthrough, my newest work. In the truth, I still don't know why I'm making a FAQ for this game, maybe because I spent money on it and want to enjoy it or 'cause I still don't have a Play Station 2 so I can waste my time with any game. But I'm making a promise, I will get a Playstation 2 then my first guide will be to Final Fantasy 10. About the game, I don't know much, but by the little time that I've played I think that the game is fun, though you will get frustrated how hard it can be to lose the cops out of your tail. When you start to play this game you will soon think that this game comes to stand against Driver but don't be so picky, this game isn't even half good as Driver is, but anyway, I liked it. I want you to know that this guide may contain some spelling errors 'cause I'm from Brazil and my english is poor, so any corrections will be really appreciated and you'll get your name and e-mail adress posted in the credits section. Finally, I really apreciate if my guide be readed by a lot of people, but I really don't suggest you to use this FAQ/Walkthrough unless you get stucked on a specific part of the game or want to finish the game with 100%, so read it by your own risk, 'cause this FAQ has lots of spoilers. Thanks. Boko. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 3 - [GAME CONTROLS] ---------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _____ _____ /L1,L2\_____________________/R1,R2\ / \ | _ Tri | | _| |_ ___ _____ Squ Cir | | |_ _| |Sel| |Start| X | | |_| ____________ | | / LA \ / RA \ | \ /\____/ \____/\ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \___/ \___/ BUTTONS FUNCTIONS ______________________________________________________________________________ | | | | Digital Pad | Steering/move cursor through menus. | | Start | Pause the game. | | Select | NO USE. | | Square | Brake/Reverse. | | Circle | NO USE. | | X | Accelerate/Confirm button. | | Triangle | Hand Brake/Cancel button. | | L1 | NO USE. | | L2 | NO USE. | | R1 | Horn. | | R2 | NO USE. | | Left analog control. | Steering/Move cursor through menus. | | Right analoh control. | NO USE. | |__________________________|___________________________________________________| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 4 - [GAME MODES] ------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's what you can do in each game mode. ______________________ The Italian Job ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ It's the main game, here you will participate missions in order to finish the game, by advancing in this mode you will have more options on the other modes too, like a bigger number of cars and cities. ______________________ Checkpoint ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Here you have a time to reach the checkpoints, by reaching a checkpoint you will receive an extra time, you lose if the time runs out and win if you clear all the checkpoints. ______________________ Party Play ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Here is the multiplayer mode, you can play with up to 8 players in different stages following the same rule as the checkpoint mode, destructor mode or challenge mode. ______________________ Free Ride ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Here you can take a free ride with any car/city you have unlocked, you can use this mode to familiarize with the cities, but be aware with the cops. ______________________ Destructor ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Here your mission is to destroy the line of cones in the sequence before the time runs out, you earn aditional places with more difficult sequences by advancing on the Italian Job mode. ______________________ Challenge ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Here you have different missions with though times to teach you how to brake, jump and turn, you can only select this mode after finishing the game once. ______________________ Options ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Here you can select different options of the game.

I'm telling you this to avoid some idiots that sends e-mails blaming me for it. ______________________________________________________________________________ | | | T H E I T A L I A N J O B | |______________________________________________________________________________| I really don't know a thing about the story of the game, the only thing I know is that it is a film of 1969, so I searched for some info and got an interview with this game's managing director, you should take a look at it, I won't look for more info about the film 'cause I'm just writing this guide to pass time while I don't have a Playstation 2, so I won't spoil the story, I will just try to give you the info needed to finish the game. If you want more info about the story or characters I suggest you to take a look on the other FAQ by J Woodrow, he seems to know a lot about the film. So let's start the game. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------- L O N D O N ------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ THE AMBASSADOR'S CAR Objective: Get over to Marvin's avoiding the police.

Keep going on in this street even after the arc, more ahead you will see a garage to the left, the arrow will help you to find it, so enter the garage and you're done. MISSION SUCCESSFUL. ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ MEET CAMP FREDDIE Objective: Meet Camp Freddie at King's before time runs out.

MISSION SUCCESSFUL ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ PEACHES FOR PEACHES Objective: Lose the police and get to the hospital before visiting hours are over.

On the next turn take the right way and keep going straight to find the hospital, you probably have cops on your tail, so turn to the right and keep going through the narrow streets until you lose them, when you do, move back to the hospital to finish the mission. MISSION SUCCESSFUL. ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ SPECIAL DELIVERY Objective: Obtain a four wheeled drive vehicle and get back to the base.

The choice you do won't change any thing on the progress of the game, so the choice is yours, anyway, here's the strategies: To get the first car fast enough turn left when you leave your base, then turn left, then right on the next street, you're on a ramp-street, keep straight on this street until you see a big tree, then keep going straight through the street right of this tree, keep going and when you see a wall in front of you turn to the left then to the right, keep going straight then turn the next to the right then left, use the arrow to find the right location of the car, the cops will be aware now, make your way back to the base, just make sure to go slowly when you see the cops, so they won't spot you. If you go much slowly to the first car and the time runs out you will have to make your way to King's Cross, the way is simple, just follow the arrow and you should be there in no time. Get the car and move back to your base avoiding the cops and the mission is done. MISSION SUCCESSFUL. ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ SKILFUL BILL Objective: Ram Charlie's car. Limit time: None.

MISSION SUCCESSFUL. ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ PRISON PALS Objective: Breakout Dominic and get back to the base.

When you exit your base follow the street right of the buiding in front of your base, keep going then turn right on the bridge, keep straight then follow these ways: left, right then left, keep going and when you see an orange ramp turn left then right, that is it, move forward and the mission is done.

To lose the mafia just wander around the Piazza and try to make it crash with the other cars, once done with them return to the Piazza. You learned the location of two important places, now it's time to find the third one, follow the arrow but keep on mind that you probably will have to wander some time to find its entrance since the arrow won't give you the position correctly, but it isn't hard to find, then your last destination is your new destination, it's very easy to find, this time you can trust in the arrow, that's it. Home, sweet-home. MISSION SUCCESSFUL. ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ MAFIA MANIA Objective: Drop Lorna at the airport then get back to base.

After leaving Lorna at the airport some guys from the mafia will appear. The mafia isn't really a problem since they're very easy to outrun, make your way back to the tunnels and take the one to the right, keep on this road and follow the arrow, you will soon lose the mafia, then turn when the arrow indicates, that's it, you made it to the hideout. MISSION SUCCESSFUL. ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ TRAFFIC TAPE CAPER Objective: Disable the Power Station and pickup the rest of the team before returning to base.

When you thinks that it's enough start the mission. Turn 180° then enter the street to the right, follow this way then turn left ahead, you're in the ferry now, keep straight forward and turn right on the first alley you see follow through this alley then turn left then right, keep straight until you see an entrance to the underground parking lot to your left, enter it you will steal a bicycle. Now exit through the entrance at the opposite side of the one you came from, take the following directions: left, right then left, keep following the arrow and it will turn drastically, follow it and you will disable the Power Station, the lights at the Traffic Control HQ will switch off, now it's time to get your buddies, work your way until the Traffic Control HQ but be aware 'cause there's cops now, then once reaching there you will have to make a escape to the mansion hideout, again just follow the arrow fast 'cause you don't have much time, but it isn't hard at all. MISSION SUCCESSFUL. ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ INTERFERENCE Objective: Disable all traffic cameras then get the job.

The cameras aren't hard to find at all, they are almost always near important places/buidings/streets and in a few tries you will memorize the location of most of them, there are more than 20 cameras on the city, so try to disable cameras that are one near another, this way you will not lose much time 'cause here the time is really tough, so after some time of pratice you will end up doing this, after disabling them follow the arrow which will guide you to an alley where the mission end. MISSION SUCCESSFUL. ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ CONVOY Objective: Get through the traffic jam to the alleyway where you will join the Convoy. Avoid all police. Limit time: 1'55" Weather: Day, Clear. ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ This mission may seem hard but it isn't. Here the traffic is almost always tough and the time isn't much favorable too, there's also some police roadblocks on the way, but I found a way where you won't have problem nor with cops neither with time, so just follow it: From the Mansion Hideout turn left then turn left again more ahead, you will have some tunnels in front of you, take the one most to the right. When you exit the tunnel keep going straight then turn on the second bend to the left, this way you will avoid a police roadblock ahead. Then turn right and right again more ahead, keep going straight and the arrow will tell you to turn to the left, but there's a roadblock there, so don't turn, just keep on moving and turn in the next bend to the left. Keep going and turn the next to the left too, then the next to the right, the traffic here is really tight but you can pass it through the causeway, just move straight and the mission is over. MISSION SUCCESSFUL, watch the FMV sequence and let's go the getaway. ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ THE GETAWAY Objective: Follow the other minis out of Turin and meet up with the coach. Limit time: 6'45" Weather: Day, Clear. ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ Finally you're here man, this mission rocks, here you will have to getaway from Turin with your friends, to do it, chase your frieds as close as you can go, on the first jump just avoid the arc or you can end up losing time, keep going after them and a cop will go after you, after passing by the ferry turn right and keep following them, ahead there's a stair where you will have to jump, slow down for your own sake. Keep following them through the stairs and you you will enter the mall, the way here is pretty simple and you won't have any problem if you're near your friends. At the end there's ramp, slow down a little and slightly turn to the right, just follow your friends into the underground shopping. After exiting the underground shopping jump slightly to the left in the ramp, keep following your buddies and you will reach the ramp that leads to a rooftop of a bulding, you will jump two ramps, you only should care about the second, slow down a little or you will crash in the wall with full speed. Keep following them and you will pass through an arc, slow down a little to make the bend to the left, now you probably have a cop on your tail, so keep full speed. When you reach the big stairway slow down just a little and turn to the right. From now on, full speed and take care to not stay much behind your pals, afterwards you will reach a forest area, here you should pay attention on the land, 'cause it is a bit hard to keep your car lined up, in the end, climb up the big ramp and jump from the Dome Statium. From here keep following your friends, but be aware 'cause here there's a lot of cops. Afterwards you will arrive at the Italian Parking lot, just cross it to the end and there use the ramp to jump the grille, you will lose any cops off your tail but another will appear on your way to the secret track, complete one lap then use a ramp the the left to get out of here. Now you're on another rooftop, there's some ramps here too, follow your buddies to take the best route and not crash some tree on the big jump ahead. Afterwards you will reach the coast, from here just take care to not crash on a tree when the camera changes. Cross the weir and turn to the left. You're almost there!, just follow them and you will reach the sewer, here stay just behind your buddies to get the best way through the arcs and your getaway is finished! MISSION SUCCESSFUL. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------- SWISS ALPS --------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ RED WHITE AND BLUE Objective: Limit time: Weather: Day, Clear. ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ Your mission here is to put all the three minis on the bus while in movement, this mission is really hard because to put the cars on the bus' rear you will have to line up the car with the bus and stay in a good distance from it for 5 seconds, it may seem not too hard but it really isn't, the first car is easy to put in the bus cause the bus will move straight and you just have to keep your car lined up. The second car is a little harder to put in the bus, but it will turn slightly some time and you will have to turn too some times. If you accelerate much you will have to start the count all again, also you can't stay too far. The third car is really ****in hard, think about it, if the bus driver is a friend of yours and there's no one chasing them why doesn't he just stop this stupid. There's no strategy in the third car, all I can tell you is too try again, try again and try again. A month later you will win. MISSION SUCCESSFUL. ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ HOME FREE Objective: Almost there! Just get to the swiss border before it closes. Limit time: 2'57" Weather: Day, Clear. ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ That's the last mission man, so it's time to show all skills you've acquired on the previous missions. The main problem here is the time that is tough, you will be using the bus here, so the speep won't be high, the initial road is pretty simple, just keep going avoidind the cars until you reach the village, there you can gain a second by doing a shortcut left of it. Your way now is simple, be aware with the pins in the first tunnel. Afterwards you will reach an area with a cliff to the right, pay attention!, more ahead you will see that the mafia won't let you escape so so easily, there's a car from the mafia just ahead. It won't be easy to have the mafia behind you, so push him over the cliff and hear a fun laugh from Big William. Enter the tunnel ahead and again pay attention on the pins, there's a bend here that you should care about, after exiting the tunnel some boulders will start to fall from the mountain, they're not much hard to avoid, but if you don't you will lose some important seconds. Afterwards you will see a white boulder right of the road, jump through it to do a shortcut, more ahead you will get your buddies, if after the cutscene you have at least 50 seconds you should be able to finish this mission. Keep on moving avoiding the falling boulders and you will have a cliff to your left, be aware and keep going to finish the game. MISSION SUCCESSFUL, Congratulations, you've beat the game. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MISSION 7 - [ENDING] ----------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After having passed through the swiss boarder you will see a FMV sequence where the bus skids on a bend near the cliff, the bus is almost falling over the cliff and the ending ends here, letting you wonder what happened to them. (^_^) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 8 - [CHALLENGE STRATEGIES] --------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After finishing the game once, you will have access to the challenge mode, there you have little missions with tough times where you will test your skills in braking, turning and jumping, so below I will give you some strategies for these missions. ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ JUMPS TEST 01 Objective: Complete 3 circuits without falling off the course. Limit time: 1'30" ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ You mission here is very simple, you have to complete 3 laps on the circuit jumping ramps and without falling off the course, from the starting point there are three ramps before doing the first turn, the ramps and very lined up so you won't have problem jumping them, just don't go much fast on the third ramp or you will end up falling. After the first turn to the left you will have more three ramps before completing the first lap, the ramps are easy to jump, so after completing the first lap you will have 7 of the 21 checkpoints needed to finish the challenge, so just repeat the pattern for more two laps and you will win. YOU WON. ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ JUMPS TEST 02 Objective: Complete 3 circuits without falling off the course, hitting all cones. Limit time: 1'30" ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ Just like the previuos mission, but you will have to hit six cones on the first bend to the left, the ramps here are lined up, so you won't have problem while jumping, just slow down a little on the third ramp or may fall off the track, hitting the cones is easy, just slow down a little, even then, if you miss one or more cones you will have two more laps to hit them. The rest of the track is very easy cause the ramps have a good distance one from the other, so win this this test. YOU WON. ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ JUMPS TEST 03 Objective: As before but you must hit the cone on the finishing line to complete each lap. Limit time: 1'30" ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ This mission is almost like the previous, you have to complete 3 laps of the challenge course without falling off the course and hitting all cones, the ramps are straight, so you just need to worry about the third ramp 'cause if you accelerate much you will overpass the circuit and fall, failing your mission. There's one difference from the previous challenge, here you will have to hit a cone on the finish line to complete each lap, and it will count as one of the 21 checkpoints. YOU WON. ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ JUMPS TEST 04 Objective: Complete 3 circuits without falling off the course, hitting all cones. Limit time: 1'30" ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ This mission is a little harder than the previous ones, besides the checkpoints in the ramps and the cone on the finishing line, you will have to hit 6 cones on the first bend to the left. Note also that the ramps here aren't lined up, so you will have to jump diagonally. On the first ramp, turn slightly to the left before jumping, then on the second ramp you have to turn slightly to the right, don't go fast on the third ramp or you will overpass it, then when you land to a bend to the left slowly to hit the 6 cones(you can do it fast to if you can!), then jump the other easy ramps and hit the cone to complete the lap, repeat this two more time and hit the cones you may have lost, the you finish the mission. YOU WON. ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ JUMPS TEST 05 Objective: Complete 3 circuits without falling off the course, hitting all cones. Limit time: 1'30" ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ This is the harder mission of the jumping serie, you will have to complete 3 laps on the track, with ramps not lined up, having to hit the 6 cones on the bend to the left, hit the cone to finish each lap and also a new objective, hit another cone that is on the little wall left of your starting point. This mission is that hard 'cause you will have to do all this, but the limit time is still the same of the first test. To make is easier do the same strategy of the test 04 on the two first laps and try to hit the new cone on the last lap, this way you won't lose time with failed tries, or you do or you don't. To hit the new cone on the last lap make your way until the last ramp, then jump diagonally to the left, this way you will cross the bend, above the wall, try to go a little slow or you will end up overpassing it. If you did hit the new cone just hit the last cone to finish the lap, and the challenge. YOU WON. ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ BRAKE TEST Objective: Accelerate away and come to a full stop in the specified area without touching any cone. Limit time: 0'15" ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ This mission is harder than it looks, it consists in a 400 meters way with a place to stop in the end with some cones, that you can't hit. Simple isn't? no, it is hard, the time is really tough here and you almost always won't have enough time to full brake the car, and some times will hit the cones. What to do then?, you may ask, to finish this challenge I suggest you do to hold your hand brake and to a sharp turn, then your car will skid, stopping faster then if you brake with you car lined up, it may be dangerous 'cause you will need a good control of your car to not hit any cone. That's it. YOU WON. ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ ICY ROAD CHECKPOINT RACE Objective: Complete 4 laps of the track against the clock. Limit time: 0'16"(initial). ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ This test is a little tough 'cause you're on a icy road and you may skid really easy here, so try to turn with light touchs on the Analogic control/Dad, as you pass through the checkpoints you will gain an extra time to finish the mission, anyway, the only solution here is to try again if you fail until you learn to do the bends in this road. YOU WON. ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ CITY LAP SURVIVAL Objective: Complete the checkpoint race around the city. Avoid the buses if you can! Limit time: 0'16" ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ That's a little easy test, you will have to cross the city passing through 18 checkpoints, some buses will be on your way to try to make you lose time, in the start, they are standing still, then they will start to move and run after you, but ins't much problem 'cause you're driving the Lamborghini. YOU WON. ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ ICY ROAD DESTRUCTOR Objective: Hit as many cones as you can to reach the finishing line on time. Limit time: 0'"15(initial) ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ Here you will play again in the icy road, but now you have a destructor mission, there's 38 cones that you can hit to gain extra time to finish the lap. Some times slow down to make the bend without skiding, turn with light touchs in the control and you should win it, this mission is easier than the Icy Road Checkpoint Race. YOU WON. ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ BIRD'S EYE DESTRUCTOR Objective: Hit as many cones as you can in the time limit. Limit time: 2'00" ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢ Here you can't win, the limit time is 2 minutes and there's 600 cones scattered around the city, try to get as many as you can, my record here is 210 cones. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 9 - [SECRETS] ---------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's all the secrets I found, if you know any other secret or just something that you think it would be importantant fell free to mail me at Boko__@hotmail. com(^_^). _____________________ Play Challenge mode ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ To have access to the Challenge mode you have to finish the game once, in this mode you can play some missions based on turning, braking and jumping. _____________________ Get a Lamborghini ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ To get the Lamborghini you need to finish the game once, the Lamborghini is insanely fast, good to use in the secret job or in the secret track in London. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [London secrets] +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _____________________ Secret Track ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ To play this secret track enter the Free Ride mode at London, exit your base then turn in this sequence: left, right, left, right, left and right, now keep going forward and you will see a tree on your way, note that there's an entrance left of this tree, enter it and you will jump(or go down) to a place with a little lake in the middle. Cross this place diagonaly and you will find a red car, it will challenge you to a race. This race is very hard to win without the Lamborghini, so I suggest you to get it before. Anyway, I could beat him with the police car, if you chase him closely you should be able to pass by him 'cause he isn't much good at turning. By winning the race you get absolutely nothing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Turin Secrets] ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _____________________ Secret Track ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ To play this secret track enter the Free Ride mode at Turin, from your starting point do a 180°, keep going straight until you see a statue, keep straight here too and pay attention to your left, soon you will see an Italian parking lot, enter it and go through it until the end, there you will find a ramp. Jump this ramp and make your way until you find it. It's a race track, here you can race three laps as a time trial. _____________________ Secret Destructor ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ That's a secret Destructor game, to find it enter the Free Ride mode at Turin and from your starting point turn 180°, keep going straight until you see a statue, from this statue turn left and keep going stright until you see a countdown on your screen, to the left there's a underground parking lot, enter it and you will have 35 seconds to break 31 cones. _____________________ Secret Job ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ After completing the secret Destructor game a man will appear and say that someone have a job for you, follow the arrow until you reach it, the man says that he has a job for you, you have to delivery pizzas in 8 different places before the time runs out. This job is a little hard 'cause the time is tough, (about 3'45") so I suggest you to get the Lamborghini before trying, after having delivered the pizzas return to your boss, he will congratulate you and say that your reward is at your house. _____________________ Miniature Car ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ After having done the secret job head to the mansion hideout and you will find a miniature version of your "Mini", it's very fun drive it(^_^). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 10 - [INTERVIEW WITH BRYAN REYNOLDS] ----------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's an interview by Jayne Bowen with Bryan Reynolds, managing director at Pixelogic studios, the interwiew was done before the releasing of the game, the source is the game site Games Domain(www.gamesdomains.co.uk) ________ Question: When did the idea of making a game about the Italian Job movie first ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ come into play? ______ Answer: SCi approached us with the opportunity and had been searching for a ¯¯¯¯¯¯ suitably action-packed crime caper to base a new game around. It was very shrewd of them to acquire the licence for The Italian Job and we couldn't wait to get down to designing and producing the game. It was an immediate winner with everyone recognising that it would make a great game. ________ Question: What was it about the film that made it a good premise for a game and ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ how did you go about capturing its charm and essence? ______ Answer: I don't think there could be a film more perfect for game conversion. ¯¯¯¯¯¯ It's comprised of a number of missions to pull off the ultimate heist. It 'reads' like a game in itself. As for capturing the charm of the film, that involved a lot of background research into the era, plus going over the film in the minutest detail. Naturally with a game of this scale we felt we had to beef up the backstory considerably to translate an hour and a half of film into 30 hours-plus gameplay. I feel we enlarged the Italian Job universe while remaining true to the spirit of the original. ________ Question: What kind of missions will players have to complete and are any of ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ them pulled from the film? ______ Answer: If life is like a box of chocolates our game is the whole ruddy sweet ¯¯¯¯¯¯ shop! From haring around London to meeting with gang members, busting crims out of jail, careering round snaking Alpine dirt tracks to fully recreating the longest, craziest getaway drive from the heart of Turin, I can solemnly promise more variety than a well- known ketchup manufacturer! The last mission, The Getaway, has already been judged by Official PlayStation Magazine to be one of the finest console driving experiences ever. The Getaway is a recreation of the film's climactic final dash: driving onto the Fiat test track - check. Haring down the church steps - check. Upsetting Saturday shoppers in the underground mall- check. Escaping the cops on the stadium roof - check. Spraying across a torrid weir - check. Pummelling down a sewer drain in the last furlong to freedom - check. It's all in there. ________ Question: Which car will players be able to drive? ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ______ Answer: Naturally the Minis loom large in this game but the driving fun doesn't ¯¯¯¯¯¯ stop there. From snippy sports cars to buses, coaches and the more robust door-busting power of four-wheel-drives, the player gets his hands on a quite a few choice motors. ________ Question: What separates The Italian Job from other mission-based driving games, ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ like Driver? ______ Answer: Records are there to be broken. Driver is a fine game and pays testament ¯¯¯¯¯¯ to the hard work and thought the developers put into it. We've trodden the same path but arrived at a different destination. There are many things that set The Italian Job apart, a few of which are that it's far more accessible, immediately fun and the missions are far less restrictive. Just wait till you get to that escape scene, baby. ________ Question: Where does the game take us? What cities/environments? ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ______ Answer: London, Turin and the Alps - from urban settings to hills and motorways. ¯¯¯¯¯¯ Expect to be airborne - here be ramps! ________ Question: What difficulties did you come across developing for the PlayStation? ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Anything you couldn't do, but wanted to? ______ Answer: The comparatively limited RAM of PSX was one problem we faced and the ¯¯¯¯¯¯ sheer size of our cityscapes and their smooth streaming from CD was our main area of concern. Chris, our lead programmer, stuck to his guns and we have a great system that allows us to implement the levels we envisaged at the start. In short we squeeze the system till its chips squeak... ________ Question: Will there be a follow-up to the game? ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ______ Answer: That all depends. We're flexing our next-gen muscles at the moment, ¯¯¯¯¯¯ using middleware for the game's conversion to other formats - the PC adaptation is well underway. I guess the easy answer is watch this space... ________ Question: What's your favourite bit of the game? ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ______ Answer: For me personally it's the little touches. The laugh of Big William, ¯¯¯¯¯¯ the coach driver, always makes me giggle. Our Caine impersonator is spot-on and in terms of actual gameplay it's got to be the Getaway- it'll rock your world... ________ Question: At the end of the film we're left with the Self-Preservation Society ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ dangling over a cliff in that van with all their booty. Do you think they got away with it? ______ Answer: Good question. Having completed work on the game and hearing the buzz ¯¯¯¯¯¯ generating around it as it nears launch I can't help but feel optimistic about a great many things - I think we'll let the lads get the gold, eh? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SECTION 11 - [CREDITS] --------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's the list of all the sources that helped me to do this FAQ/Walkthrough, if I've forgot someone who have sent any type of contribution, please send me a e-mail requesting it, 'cause we're all humans.
