Pursuit Force returns News
PlayStation 2 PSP News by Tom Bramwell
BigBig's Pursuit Force is making a comeback this summer. After enjoying relative success as a PSP exclusive first time out, the sequel - "Extreme Justice" - will be released on the handheld as well as PS2.
Once again players will drive after crims in Capital City and then leap onto their cars to sort them out, except this time there'll be a much greater range of gangs and vehicles to worry about, and even a rival "heavy-handed" arm of the police called Viper division.
Leaping between tanks, trains and even aeroplanes in addition to the usual cars, Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice will also put you up against the Raiders (ambushers) and Syndicate (bank robber) gangs, as you continue to tussle with the Convicts and Warlords. We're also promised "epic boss battles".
Fortunately to regain strength and prolong a mission there's a new Justice Bar (drinking: for heroes), and three new difficulty levels to make things a bit more approachable. You also have some new recruits to offer support: Sarah (air support), Ash (special operations), Peach (heavy assault) and Gage (high speed pursuit, slightly disturbing pornography).
(That's the last time I type things into Google Image Search without thinking.)
Once you've mastered the basics, you can even play against friends in four-player Wi-Fi on PSP, or two-player split-screen on the PS2. And if all this sounds like it might be up your street, why not have a flick through our review of the first one and see what you missed?
More on Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice soon enough.

Make it a bit easier, chaps, ok? People might buy this one if it's actually fun to play.

One of the only PSP games I played to completion. It was a man's game that I thought was brimming with variety - so many different missions, and some really intriguing ones too. The homage to the movie Speed was particularly amusing. I also enjoyed the graphical style - arcadey and cartoony, kind of like Chase HQ and games of that era. I thought the Eurogamer review was rather harsh and would consider it a minor classic for the PSP.
I believe the US version was made easier for the gaming pussies out there ;) Might be worth picking that up cheap on eBay if the core gameplay appeals (and it should). With regards the news piece, the original Pursuit Force had the Justice Meter too - it's nothing new. Using it at just the right time was the key to topping up your energy bar and thus remaining alive - essential on some of the rock hard "on foot" missions and also for those stages where you had to escape from pursuing criminals. A fully topped-up Justice Meter was also required for those mega-cool mid-air bullet time attacks as you leapt from one car to another :) Looking forward to this sequel then, definitely.
