One of the main complaints is that the game is too action focused in the second half and it unfortunately shows some clear signs of being rushed but it really is one of the greatest games ever made and mandatory for any horror fan. The first half of the game really is by far the most accurate representation of Lovecraft's stories, apart from maybe the Call of Cthulhu movie (the silent one; it's great).
As great as the game really is, I actually hated the chase scenes, because they had to be done perfectly. I think the second chase is just running down a hallway, and even holding down the forward key wasn't enough sometimes. I quit that game at the third chase scene, because that scene lasted faaar too long. I watched an LP of it instead.
Yeah, there is a bit of a disconnect when you need to replay scenes over and over but you can't deny those scenes were fucking tense. By second chase you mean

in the Refinery with the Shoggoth
? I dunno if you realized, but you have to bolt the gates shut after you go through; it buys you enough time to escape (though you can't waste any time). I don't really know what third chase scene you are referring to though, and I replayed the game only a few months ago. If you mean

at the end
then unfortunately that sequence was not designed too well because the game was rushed; the only way to beat it is to use the fan patch that allows you to edit movement speed or just skip the triggers, there are video on youtube on that.
