The Windows version was planned, but was cancelled. Gameplay The Italian Job is a racing game based on the 2003 film. Players drive vehicles around Hollywood and Los Angeles, earning points for completing small tasks. There are 15 missions in the story mode. Each is designed to reflect a certain part of the movie, with the spoken introduction to each 'section' giving background on what part of the movie is being covered, and what the objective of the mission is going to be. The game's four other modes include racing around tracks, performing stunts for points, free roam, and time trials. The game was developed to be in the same game style as the classic PlayStation Driver games because of the limitations they had during development having no licence for the actors of the movie.
