Critical Velocity

Overview

An original racing title created specifically for the PlayStation 2, Critical Velocity (formerly Rune Chaser) is Namco's first major Japanese racing franchise since Ridge Racer. Developed internally by Namco Japan, the game is a free roaming, story-based driving adventure with a huge city environment and multiple plot-motivated missions. Jobs include pursuing targets, destroying obstacles, evading angry racers, and more. Every included automobile is based on a real life counterpart as well. And though none of them carry an official license or logo, range from three different types: Sports Cars, Sedans, and RVs.
