Although Sony has to worry about the E3 now, that hasn't stopped them from releasing yet more details on one of its most anticipated PSP titles, Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice, launching this fall. Below, you have a full fact sheet on the upcoming, pulse-pounding driving game, featuring more than 50 criminal cases set among seven distinct environments, where players will have to make use of the most diverse vehicles.

As the official report informs, Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice will have players taking the role of a commander who is the highest ranking operational officer as well as four new playable characters, all of whom are responsible for tracking down and bringing to justice five hardcore street gangs in and around Capital City. As a member of a special police unit known as the Pursuit Force, this time around, players will engage in high-speed action to traverse land, air and sea in their continued battle to rid the city of crime which includes three new gangs.

As mentioned in the introductory paragraph, the game will be featuring some 50 criminal cases set among seven distinct environments, where players will have access to 12 different vehicle types, including hovercrafts and boss vehicles, specifically designed for boss encounter missions. An arsenal of weapons will also be available as players go in the pursuit of justice. However, what's probably the best thing about Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice is that it will also introduce multiplayer capabilities to the franchise, with up to four players in Ad Hoc mode.

Here are some of the game's main features:

■ New vehicles, weapons and stunts make for one of the most action-heavy games to come to PSP ■ New Multiplayer mode makes pick-up and play even more fun ■ Featuring epic boss missions with more action and outrageous boss vehicles than ever seen before ■ Launches with more than 20 hours of diverse gameplay, with the availability of downloadable content packs for players to continue to extend their enjoyment of the game ■ 12 vehicle types available throughout the game including classics that have been enhanced like helicopters, cars, jet skis, trucks, buses, bike and sidecar, and speed boats as well as new vehicles including hovercrafts ■ More than 30 types of weapons at the player's disposal including handguns, shotguns, machine guns, and some heavy artillery. ■ Five notorious gangs to bring to justice, each in their own distinct section of Capital City. New gangs include: - Raiders - A focused and professional group of modern pirates focused on incoming cargo - Vipers - Rogue police led by a corrupt commander - Syndicate - Armed bank robbers from the UK and Europe

The game will be published by Sony Computer Entertainment America and is currently still under development over at Bigbig Studios. OK then, I guess we'll all be seeing if all this is true or not this fall, when Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice is released.
