Maximum Chase[a] is a 2002 action video game featuring vehicular combat developed by Genki exclusively for the Xbox gaming console. The game is published by Microsoft Game Studios in Japan and Majesco Sales in North America. Maximum Chase plays similarly to that of the Project Gotham Racing series, and features around 20 licensed car brands, including Chevrolet, Lexus, Nissan, and Pontiac. Licensed cars are also included, with the Corvette and Firebird being some of the highlights.[citation needed]

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.[5]

  • Rick Summer – played by Chris Hatfield[5]
  • Catherine Stanfield – played by Jennifer Aquino[5]
  • Coleman – played by Dan Gilvezan[5]

Reception

[edit | edit source]

Maximum Chase received "mixed or average" reviews, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[6] In Japan, however, Famitsu gave it a score of 30 out of 40.[8]

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".[10]
