World's Scariest Police Chases is an action driving video game developed by Swedish[2] company Unique Development Studios (sv) and published by Activision for the PlayStation in June 2001. It is a video game adaptation of a television show of the same name but later renamed to World's Wildest Police Videos.[3] PlayStation 2, Xbox, Dreamcast and Microsoft Windows versions or ports were also planned but cancelled.

Reception[]

The game received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[4] Daniel Erickson of NextGen, however, said, "Never has a television show been translated so perfectly into a videogame – exciting, over-the-top, and just a little on the silly side."[3]
