    This game is dreadful! Please save yourselves from this 'on rails' driving nightmare.

    I have to say that this game is tough, but well worth sticking with. In a similar vein to the Driver series. There's some great ideas in there & if you enjoy GTA theres plenty in this game for you.

    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.

    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.

    Not a game for me at all. I really liked the initial idea and the over-the-top approach, but the game itself is very old fashioned, like it came straight from early 90s arcade - tough, unforgiving, simplistic. The graphics are nice, but can become choppy if too much happens on screen.

The graphics are nice, but can become choppy if too much happens on screen. Sounds are forgettable (apart from the police boss - nice voice acting there), missions are very similar to each other (pursuit on road, pursuit on boat, pursuit on chopper etc.) and totally unrealistic driving mechanics along with strange shooting makes me feel I was playing an on-rails game. Much more of a Spy Hunter than Grand Theft Auto. For folks looking for some challenge and for arcade fans only.… Expand

    Actually pretty fun at times. If you're expecting a realistic police simulator (I don't know why you would)
    DON'T BUY THIS And I'll tell you why eventually. If you want a police game where you are part badass, maybe.

    Creo que es posiblemente el juego al que más he jugado en la PSP. Muchísima variedad de misiones y de objetivos. Para ser de 2006 apenas tenía tirón de FPS salvo en algún momento en concreto, e incluía un modo arcade bastante bueno para ser un juego de una portátil del año 2006.

    Lo recuerdo con muchísimo cariño, pese a que el argumento tampoco era nada del otro mundo.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Maybe, being this game one from my childhood, I might have a skewed memory of it. I recently bought it and oh boy this game is dreadful. The game is ambituous, maybe too much for the hardware it's running on: the framerate is highly inconsistent to the point it seems to play in slowmotion at times. The controls are cheesy, the game demands you to continuously avoid obstacles but sometimes is imposibble due to having to steer a bouder and framerate issues. The game is needlessly hard also, some missions are ridiculously long and if you fail you must replay the whole mission from the start: the Deadeye section is the one that made me abandon this game.

    A sniper on a boat that can three-shot you dead, where as you can empty a magazine without scratcing him. You have a little timer before he can actually shoot you and the only way to stop this is by moving out of his sight. He's completely locked onto you (on a boat, while roaming through canals) and the only way is to completely steer away into the walls, losing him in the chase. Ridiculous.    … Expand

    Some of the features, like jumping from a car to defeat an enemy, swapping cars mid race and combining a variety of vehicles into one game are really good ideas, but the slowdown, poor handling of some cars and repetitive banter really frustrate.

    Even by the high standards already set, Pursuit Force is an astonishing title... The best PSP title yet.

    It's hard not to like Pursuit Force. Even when you've started the Don the Run mission for the twentieth time you'll still be enjoying it. We fully expect an even better sequel next year. [PSM2]
