Pursuit Force

You Have the Right to Recklessly Pursue Criminals

In Pursuit Force, that is. Unless you're a gang-busting rookie cop in real life too.

Now, when we see "summer blockbuster" and "intense action" in the same sentence of a PSP-related press release, we normally assume it's the latest addition to the system's ginormous UMD collection. But a game that has you reliving that kind of silver screen experience? Why, we'll be dumbfounded!


Pursuit Force is it, capturing everything from high-speed chases to the thrilling shootouts that we know you can't help by squeal over in theatres. Even better, it's friggin' out, man.

"Leaping between vehicles while racing at high speed is something gamers have never experienced before, and response to this innovative feature has been overwhelmingly positive," explains Susan Nourai, director, online and product marketing, Sony Computer Entertainment America. "That is just one of the heart-pounding features that makes Pursuit Force a truly original action-adventure IP. Combined with Hollywood-worthy stunts and fast-paced gameplay, this title is a must have for PSP owners that live for the adrenaline rush of intense action."

When we read that last description, we immediately thought of you guys. After all, who wouldn't want to take the wheel of vast selection (50+, baby) of sports cars, motorcycles, SUVs, and high-powered speedboats and speed 'em through city highways and off-road courses. Those malicious gang members aren't simply going turn themselves in, you know, so as a rookie cop on the Pursuit Force (the police's last gasp at cracking down on crime in Capital City), you'll have to track 'em down yourself in 30 action-packed criminal cases. Perhaps a little intimidation from the 10 available weapons (one of them a helicopter mini-gun, for Pete's sake) will show them who's boss, eh?

As soon as you feel brave enough, feel free to hop off of a moving vehicle and into your nearest retailer to snag a copy of Pursuit Force. Of course, you could just step out of the car, but how else would you prove to everyone that you're a diehard TPS reader with "nerves o' steel," hmm?
