Italian Job Mode
In Italian Job Mode, you play as Charlie Croker and his gang. Gather the people and equipment needed to pull off the daring Italian Job.
As you progress through the game from London to Turin and finally to the Alps, you will unlock new cars for Free Ride Mode and new trials for Challenge Mode, Checkpoint Mode, and Destructor Mode.
Choosing Your Mission
To play "The Italian Job" mode, you must first select one of the missions from this screen. The screen shows the three sections of the game: London, Turin, and The Alps.
The first time you come to this screen, only one mission will be unlocked. The rest are marked with an enigmatic symbol. Press LEFT and RIGHT on the directional button to move between available missions, then press the button to confirm your choice.
As you complete each mission, more will be unlocked and become accessible through this screen. More Checkpoint races, Destructor races, and Challenges also become available, so keep a lookout in the other menus.
Remember that the only way to save your progress is to ensure that before you turn on your PlayStation, you have a MEMORY CARD inserted into MEMORY CARD slot 1 or MEMORY CARD slot 2 with at least 1 free block available.
The Briefing Screen
Once you have selected which part of The Italian Job you want to play, you will be taken to the secret conference room. Here, top dog Charlie Croker will brief you.
Listen carefully to Charlie; he's a smart guy, and his advice could mean the difference between getting $4,000,000 in gold bullion or ending up being served spaghetti by a man named Antonio every day for a ten-year stretch. You can skip the briefing screen at any time by pressing the button.
Playing the Game
To complete The Italian Job, you will drive many different vehicles and take part in a huge variety of missions. These range from picking up your gangland benefactor's right-hand man to transporting explosives in a particularly rickety old coach.
Sometimes you'll have to stick to the rules of the road, and sometimes you'll have to use every trick in the book to evade the Police.
Every collision damages your car and adds to your damage meter, found at the top left-hand corner of the screen. Should your damage meter fill up, your car will be wrecked, and your chances of pulling off The Italian Job will be ruined.
Finding Your Way Around
Navigating big cities like London and Turin can be a real challenge. Fortunately, much of the time during gameplay, you'll be pointed in the right direction by the very helpful Italian Job Arrow.
However, if you want to find all of the sneaky shortcuts and quickest routes through the bustling metropolises, you should carefully study the maps printed at the back of the manual.
Law and Disorder
Life's not fair, and taking part in the Italian Job will sometimes bring you to the attention of the police. When they give chase, you will hear sirens behind you and see the speedo flashing at the bottom of the screen. The bigger the triangle, the closer they are.
If the Police get too close, they'll read your number plate. Once they get the whole thing, the game is over.
The Mafia
The Mafia, on the other hand, generally don't abide by the law. If you encounter these creeps in Turin, they will do their best to ram you off the road and send you packing back to England.
Pause Menu
You may pause the game, return to the main menu, retry the current mission, or refresh your memory with the current objectives by pressing the START button at any time during gameplay. Pressing the START button again will return to the game.
Party Play Mode
Party Play Mode allows up to seven people to compete to determine who is the king of the road. Once you have selected Party Play Mode from the main menu
