Description
Action thriller aboard a NATO armored train, the Blue Harvest, hijacked by the Knights of the Apocalypse. Created by Sugar & Rockets and Sony Computer Entertainment, released in 2000 in Japan, Europe and Asia. Lieutenant Jack Morton alone on board, stealth infiltration, seven endings based on choices and pre-rendered backdrops. European multilingual editions.
The Japanese and Asian edition of Chase the Express, a Konami action thriller set aboard a hijacked luxury train, known in the West under other titles. Its cinematic staging and enclosed setting make it sought after by fans of the lesser-exposed Konami catalogue. The interest comes from this regional release of a quietly charismatic title whose reputation grew well after launch.
Is Chase the Express still worth playing in 2026?
A Konami action adventure known in the West as Covert Ops, Chase the Express locks its plot inside a luxury train taken hostage, where an agent must foil a plot carriage by carriage. The railway chamber piece, the thriller mood and the cinematic staging set up real Resident Evil style tension. The stiff handling and sometimes obscure puzzles have aged. An atmospheric curiosity for fans of old school survival action and explorers of Konami's PS1 catalogue.
