    911 Operator is a joy to play, and you'll want it to go on for longer. It's not perfect, though - satisfying pay-offs to stories are absent, and it would be great to be able to purchase new resources during a level.

    If you’re the kind of person who wants to get a taste for what it’s like to be a emergency dispatcher, that kind of setup will appeal to you.

    Having only heard about 911 Operator before, it is a nice fit for the Switch with its nice use of HD Rumble feedback and with how good the port is. The game itself starts feeling repetitive after a few hours but if you’re a fan of games that test you with tension and quick actions, this is definitely one to look into. As a simulation experience, it does its job very well and the Switch port is great.

    Those looking for a big investment of gaming will probably do best to avoid this title. But those after a nice palette cleanser, I recommend 911 Operator. It’s not going to light the world on fire, but is a decently-crafted little time sink that works well on the Switch. If you’re looking for something to do in-between catching Pokémon and settling it in Smash, 911 Operator is a nice buffer title to call on.

    911 Operator is fun little title, but you have to get past a lot of repetition. The difficulty can be a little harsh too when you don’t understand everything that’s going on. I lost quite a few units at the beginning of the game as I didn’t know what I was sending my police officers into. By the end, though, I was flying through the scenarios with ease. You could comfortably finish the game in a few hours, but for such a budget title I think that is reasonable. If you fancy challenging your mind for a few hours with something that isn’t too frenetic, then you might want to give this a go.

    911 Operator is a fun way to pass the time and its realistic depictions of how to use the emergency services make it all the more commendable. It is, however, repetitive and may not be picked up again after an initial play-through.

    911 Operator really misses the mark. It’s a good attempt at showing what a 911 operator may do, but you’re effectively playing a mobile game on the Switch for the cost of a PC game. That $22 price point is a bit excessive, especially since various bugs and quality-of-life issues you’ll get are really frustrating to deal with on the Switch.

WhenThe game has a lots of opportunity but unfortunately the full picture is not good. There is no option to delete the data or a save game. When I start a new city but something went wrong I can't load the previous save because no options for this!!! So if something wrong it will be wrong forever. It's a big mistake.… Full Review »
