PSP Fanboy review: Pursuit Force Extreme Justice

Not many games can make you feel like you're playing an over-the-top Hollywood action blockbuster, especially on the PSP. Pursuit Force Extreme Justice attempts to do just that, complete with a ridiculous storyline, hilarious vehicle-to-vehicle jumping and high speed car chases. The result is a game that works surprisingly well across a large variety of gameplay styles.

Extreme Justice is the sequel to the original Pursuit Force which many thought to be too challenging. Extreme Justice is still quite tricky, but has been toned down to make for a more accessible experience.

The game is also nice and long, especially for a handheld title. The mission-based structure splits the entire experience up into five acts, with a total of thirty missions during the entire story mode. These are then replayable in Bounty mode and Challenge mode, in order to elongate the game even more. Of course, Ad-Hoc multiplayer adds even more to do.

These convicts look crazy. The one dude has a mini-gun for a mouth. Seriously. These jerks belong in a MegaMan game under normal circumstances, but luckily we have the ability to smash the convicts with our hammer of justice -- Extreme Justice. It seems you'll get to can the antics of a wild bunch of brutes in Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice and based on how these baddies are handling themselves ... it'll be fun and rewarding.

Things explode ... a lot in the Pursuit Force series. With acrobatic police officers that are willing to shoot hundreds of bullets into bad guys, it's surprising to think that gangs can even exist in that universe. It's familiar territory for fans of the original Pursuit Force on the PSP. But, the first went unnoticed by many. Does this sequel entice you more?

Pursuit Force gets Extreme new trailer

The original Pursuit Force holds a dear place in the hearts of many hardcore PSP fans. The over-the-top Hollywood-style arcade action racer looked and played like nothing before it. Now, Extreme Justice is trying to make the series go into even more extreme places. Will it succeed? Well, you can be the judge based on the new trailer released on the PlayStation.blog.

The blog also details some of the new multiplayer Ad-Hoc modes added to this sequel: Rampage, Ram Jam, Survivor and Cops 'n Robbers. The official site also mentions downloadable content, which will be available through the PC-based PLAYSTATION Store. There's a lot of potential here -- let's hope it gets used well when the game releases early next year.

PSP Fanboy hands-on: Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice

Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice has everything we look for in a handheld title. Its bite-sized missions allow for the game to be picked up and put down at any time, while the tongue-in-cheek story and fun characters make even the exposition entertaining. While the game isn't anything particularly astounding, it has its moments of excellence and is fun throughout.

This is mostly due to the nature of the gameplay - with each new level you may be expected to perform on foot, in a car, a hovercraft or in control of a heavy machine gun. This removes any chance of the game getting monotonous, though if there's a particular mission type you prefer then you may find yourself getting bored waiting for it to come up again. Pursuit Force really shines during car chase missions, when you can jump from car to car popping baddies in the head and ramming into other vehicles on the road. Not only is it great fun, but it looks pretty good too.

Pursuit Force sequel: making it easier, more accessible

The original Pursuit Force did quite well, considering it came from a rather inexperienced development team. Now, BigBig Studios is putting the final touches on the PS2/PSP sequel, Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice. In spite of its extreme title, the game is going for an easier, more accessible approach as many had complained the original was simply too hard. In order to do that, the development team separated the levels so you won't have to multitask as much.

"We want to give the player more time to strategize," Chris Whiteside told Pocket Gamer. "Hopefully you won't notice it but we've segmented the game up so at one point, you'll be focused on shooting at a vehicle from range and won't be too concerned about your driving. At other times, you'll have to concentrate more on your driving style."

Gone are the notorious 90 degree hairpin turns that caught players off guard. The tracks are now wider, to make it easier to drive and shoot. Interestingly, the difficulty has been toned down so much that one must play in "Iron Man" mode to reach the same difficulty that the original Pursuit Force provided. Hopefully, BigBig hasn't gone too far in watering down the game, though -- it's something we'll be focusing on when the game releases early next year.
