Part of a growing list of retro Sony-exclusive driving games added to the subscription service, it joins the likes of Ridge Racer Type 4 and Ridge Racer 2.

Released for the PlayStation Portable in 2005, it was developed by an offshoot of Evolution Studios (Motorstorm, Driveclub and now technically Need for Speed) Bigbig.

It sees you playing a young, up-and-coming cop who must tackle rising crime by chasing after convicts and jumping between vehicles like a Fast & Furious stunt. Action is spread mostly across cars and boats, although there are motorcycles.

A curious mix of Outrun, Chase HQ and Stuntman, Pursuit Force did see a sequel two years later, before the team then went on to reach its zenith with MotorStorm: Arctic Edge.
