Pursuit Force actually came out last year in Europe, but it's not slated for release until March 7 in North America.
What gives the Pursuit Force its name is that it seems to conduct almost all of its crimefighting business by literally pursuing criminals in high speed car chases--or motorcycle chases, or speedboat chases.
Pursuit Force, with its straightforward and instantly gratifying gameplay, manages to cut down on load times and should allow players to pick it up for a few minutes and still have a worthwhile experience, at least based on what I've seen so far.

 Gamerz-Edge -- Pursuit Force Preview   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Pursuit Force takes the best elements from some of our favorite genre’s, and attempts to mix them into one of the most action-packed, over-the-top, and original PSP games to date, and for the most part things appear to be heading in the right direction.
While Pursuit Force’s story is of the bare-bones arcade variety; your typical Hollywood blockbuster-type city has been overrun by criminals, and it’s up to your typical Hollywood blockbuster-type hero- or rookie cop- to set things straight.
So in a way, Pursuit Force feels much more like a racing game than it does anything else, which is essential considering you’ll have to effectively control your own vehicle before you can even begin to think about hijacking an enemy’s ride.

It's difficult to put Pursuit Force in a fixed category but if I were to point you in any direction it would be the various spy games that have graced arcades and consoles over the last decade.
This unfortunately is one of Pursuit Forces’ drawbacks and because of the way the missions are constructed you will find yourself re-playing the easier sections over and over again when all you really want to do is get to the point where you got shot, crashed or simply ran out of time.

 Pursuit Force for PSP Review - GameDaily   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
You play as an unnamed cop who's a member of the Pursuit Force, a small group of officers that have been granted the right to take down scum bags by any means necessary, hence the ability to endanger the lives of innocent bystanders by swerving into traffic and leaping from unmanned vehicles.
Thankfully, Pursuit Force is good enough to transcend its faults, but it doesn't have the replay value of Twisted Metal or Burnout Legends, two PSP titles that are similar in the sense that they're best played in short bursts but differ because they offer so much more.
Pursuit Force is definitely enjoyable, as it's the type of game that's best played in short bursts, but it's not worth keeping for more than a couple weeks.
