  1. The intriguing aspect of the game kept drawing me back, and there are far worse ways to spend $20.
  2. You won’t be beating it over the course of a weekend and it does bring something new to the table for you or your pre teen younger gamers who are into emergency and rescue shows or events.
  3. While its missions are complex and often satisfying, Emergency 2 is frustrating at times because of its clumsy interface.
  4. It is not a strategy game, but a poorly designed puzzle game. The puzzles are poorly explained and the solutions obscure and not really logical. The only challenge in the game is avoiding frustration-induced madness. This is just not my idea of fun.
  5. Contains nothing noteworthy and just about every aspect of it reeks of a half-assed budget title -- which it is.

    Playing god by coordinating a variety of emergency personnel and equipment in dealing with very different crisis scenarios has some appeal,Playing god by coordinating a variety of emergency personnel and equipment in dealing with very different crisis scenarios has some appeal, but after the first two missions the game becomes mostly trial and error, mainly because some objectives don't easily identify as interactive, there is mostly no explanation and the controls are so clumsy that your'e sometimes doing the right thing, but it just doesn't work and people end up dying though you were doing the right thing in the first place. The game is also very poor on the technical side. Full Review »
