Postmortem: Pixelogic's The Italian Job Conclusion This project was going to be a development ride of a lifetime, the outcome we could achieve was not even considered until the later stages where the excitement generated from the combination of good marketing, good development choices and hard work from talented individuals had crafted a fun playable game for a wide audience. Modesty crept in to prevent disappointment prior to release, but little did we know. In the first week of release The Italian Job entered the UK PSOne charts straight in at No.1 and stayed at this position for over 4 weeks, it had also entered at No.3 in the All Consoles Chart and No.4 in the All Formats Chart. After being so well received in the UK with help from a cult film licence we could only hope that the game would hold it's own in other territories. This was confirmed by excellent reviews from the rest of Europe and the USA (5/5 OPM), the game even inspired some people to watch the film for the very first time. The original development team has also successfully completed a PC conversion of the game within six months, which involved updating graphics and technologies to suit the PC. Both versions have successfully been released in the UK.
