3 minutes... get in... get the money get out... stay cool. Heist, a game for the PC where crime certainly does pay.

Tool yourself up with your lock-pick and your dynamite, get your crew together and embark upon a life of crime. It's all about pulling heists: casing the joint and then executing the perfect job, without attracting any heat from the law.

With more than 20 jobs in all, Heist takes you from controlling a new crew holding up petrol stations out in Hickville, to a slick well-oiled outfit who can take on the biggest bank in the financial heart of the city. Completing all 20 heists will result in your crew being plucked from obscurity to occupying a well-earned place at the top of the FBIs most-wanted list.

Heist is set in the real-time environment of a fully simulated city, populated by inhabitants who exhibit realistic behaviour patterns and who react to the players actions. As your crew become more infamous the citizens of the city will grow to fear you, whilst the law enforcement agencies will react with more force and guile to outwit you. Your crew progresses through the game improving their skills, and the money you accumulate can be used to purchase an every-growing array of powerful weapons and sophisticated gizmos which will help complete your heists.
