The game follows the adventures of a rookie Police Officer working for Pursuit Force - an elite, vehicle-based crime fighting force chasing down criminal gangs across an entire fictional US state.

  1. Nearly perfect with its graphics that often look close to cinematic scenes and a whole host of strategies for nailing the bad guys.
  2. The biggest problem with this game is that it has no sort of multiplayer capability, otherwise Pursuit Force is a heck of a good time to play; hard, but fun.
  3. It'll never be a game of the year candidate, but Pursuit Force does bring a unique, usually fun, definitely challenging, and ultimately solid title to PSP that doesn't fall into a franchise that's already known on PS2.
  4. Apparently, someone out there was itching for a game that combines the witless banality of "Jake and the Fat Man" with the absurd chase scenarios of "CHiPS." [Apr 2006, p.106]

    This game is fun and has a fresh feel to the gameplay. But unfortunatly the gameplay is very repetitive. Everything else (graphics, controls, audio) is very well done. Must play for race and/or shooter fans... but for me as a rental. Expand

    This game contains awesome graphic, excellent concepts (jumping from car to bike to helicopter), great sound, but lacks in the game play. The levels are very difficult from the beginning and I would be surprised if the average user will be able to complete the entire game. The game lacks check points with the different locations with a level. I have found that after 60 minutes of playing the game I needed a cheat to proceed any further. Expand

    This game is dreadful! Please save yourselves from this 'on rails' driving nightmare. I spent a week repeating long levels, chasing cars which I could see clearly and having the screen saying 'you're losing them' and worst of all jumping between cars and bikes shooting people though windscreens only to find that because I had already been shooting at the car it would explode two seconds later. An utter waste of time. Expand
