For Bigbig Studios, the action is the juice. And they just can't get enough of it! After blowing PSP gamers away in 2005 with their debut title, they now plan to spread even more urban chaos on a couple of Sony's platforms, when they return in full force later this year, with Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice. As the title implies, this new game will continue the first Pursuit Force with even more... well, more of everything, really, and this time around they're even bringing it to the PlayStation 2.
Sony's recent announcement says that Extreme Justice will be released in Europe this summer, both on the PSP and PS2. The most prominent new feature will be the addition of multiplayer modes: four-player wi-fi in the PSP version, and two-player split screen in the PlayStation 2 version.
Joining the Convicts and Warlords in their wrongdoings from the first part, there will be two new gangs ripping Capital City apart: Raiders (professional raiders, specialising in striking hard and fast and staging ambushes) and the Syndicate (a gang of professional bank robbers looking to steal anything of value... by any means possible). You won't be fighting alone anymore, however, as you'll be joined by four new recruits - Sarah (Air Support), Gage (High Speed Pursuit), Ash (Special Operations) and Preach (Heavy Assault) - as well as an aditional (or rather rival) arm of the police - the Viper division - for the Pursuit Force to contend with.
"The chase becomes more lethal with faster and larger vehicles to jump between including gigantic tanks, trains and even the wings of an aeroplane. Bigger and better bad guys deliver epic boss battles, as the war on Capital City's gangland reaches anarchic proportions.
Versatility is key, with a variety of vehicles available, including a bike and sidecar, jet skis and a hovercraft to ensure the Pursuit Force stay one step ahead of the criminals. Switching seamlessly between vehicle and ground combat, players can take out bad guys on foot in classic Hollywood cop style, and in vehicles, including a helicopter, with mounted high calibre guns for maximum destruction." Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice also boasts "an all new Hollywood inspired storyline", spiced up with death defying jumps from vehicle to vehicle (also shown in ultra motion), extreme modes of transport and merciless gangs.
