Review
This game is a PlayStation sequel to arcade police chase game Chase H.Q. You get a target that you have to catch up to and bump into until it explodes, in a old Hollywood movie car chase fashion. This is a genre that barely exists anymore, but it's super fun.
The game plays well and runs smoothly at 30 FPS with some barely noticeable tearing.
In a time where everyone is talking about ray traced reflections, I feel I need to mention that despite the name, this game obviously does not have ray traced reflections in 1997... The reflections in the car windshield are using a copy of a section of the screen to the upper left of the car. It's noticeable when you drive past a sign on the left, which is copied into the windshield.
The smooth gameplay and nice animation is hampered a bit by very rough sound effects and a curiously unbalanced mix, where the music is all but completely inaudible during gameplay.
However, this game is a lot of fun and you can beat it in half an hour.
