Miami Chase (Codemasters)

Imagine Chase HQ crossed with Super Sprint and you'll be half way to visualising Miami Chase. You play Lou Ferrari, an undercover agent of the Drug Enforcement Agency who's been detailed to clear the streets of drug dealers. This is achieved by careering dangerously around the city streets in (what else?) a Ferrari, taking pot shots at the offender's cars which you've tracked down by checking a radar cityscape.

While you're trying to bump off villains you have to take care not to damage civilian cars or brush with the local police. Once you've taken out all the gang members it's time to track down the big boss.

The action is made more interesting by collecting power-ups which produce extra weaponry (including mines), and a garage in which you can buy yourself more add-ons to give your car better handling.

Miami Chase is superbly presented and initially fun to play, but the action soon becomes a little repetitive. Even so, this is as good as many full-price releases, and definitely worth a look if you like driving combat games.
