Sony's Pursuit Force follow-up speeding into view.

UK, January 18, 2007 - After a fairly successful run on PSP last year, Sony has revealed that a fast-paced follow-up to the over-the-top driving game Pursuit Force will be released in the UK on both PS2 and PSP later this year.

In Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice, the gangs, hoodlums and ruffians of Capital City are out of control. Needless to say, it's up to you to, literally, drive them out of town. However, that's trickier than it sounds, thanks to the introduction of new gangs specialising in their own forms of chaos. Plus, you've now got to deal with a rival squad of "heavy-handed" police called the Viper division. Thankfully, you've got a string of vehicles at your disposal and can leap between planes, hovercraft, jet skis, tanks, trains and helicopters in your pursuit of justice.

Other new features include multiplayer for up to four challengers on PSP, while the PS2 gets a split-screen two-player mode and a "Justice Bar" that helps you to regain strength and prolong missions.

Both games are set for release in Europe this summer.I was considering giving my PSP some life and one of the games I've been thinking about lately is Pursuit Force. It didn't seem to catch a lot of attention back when it was released, but I recently remembered that it got very positive reviews, as it was one of the first exclusive great PSP games. Can anyone tell me more about it? Gameplay experiences appreciated.

I saw the crap reviews on the first one and it turned me off from it. I played the demo and it was pretty cool. I don't know I'm skeptical on this one.

Crap reviews??? I've seen it averaging 8 out of 10 and even a bit higher than that. It's not a masterpiece, but it's not a bad game by any means either.

Gamerankings and Metacritic both averages 7.5. The biggest complaint reviewers have is about the difficulty. Hopefully the sequel will retain it's challenge, but blance the difficulty curve.

I do think it's more interesting that Sony as a first party is now sharing projects between PSP and PS2, as this is the first time it's happened.
