Story

Levels take place entirely within a car and are split into driving and shooting sections while controlling the main character, Rick Summer, who is played by actor Chris Hatfield.

Reception

Maximum Chase received "mixed or average" reviews, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. In Japan, however, Famitsu gave it a score of 30 out of 40.

Brad Shoemaker, reviewing the game for GameSpot, said it was a nice diversion for a few hours but criticized the lack of replay value, technical bugs, and the fact the game had an MSRP of full retail price, calling it "nearly a crime".
