Official Nintendo Magazine UKThe game's instant appeal fades quickly. It's cheap but not particularly cheerful. [July 2008, p.86]
-
n-Revolution Magazine UKMore suited to a younger audience. It wears thin after a while, but cheap thrills can easily tempt you back. [Issue#25, p.77]

If you're the parent of a five year-old boy, you can sit them in front of Emergency Heroes and leave the room, confident it's less graphically violent than an episode of The Archers. Just be aware that for anyone over five, it's also less thrilling.
-
Emergency Heroes is a game that does show some glimpses of hope of what it could have been, but when all the parts are taken together it just doesn’t manage to cut it.
-
Our emergency and rescue heroes deserve better than this.
-
Borderline shovelware -- but without that $20 price tag. I'd encourage you strongly to stay away from this game -- as a racing game, it has very little to offer. Cruising the city gets old quickly, and the multiplayer mode is about as exciting as the rest of the single-player game.
-
Emergency Heroes is a below average game that is ultimately far too dull to be enjoyable.
-
Emergency Heroes feels very rushed since there's just not much to it. The entire game took me approximately four hours from start to finish, and that’s four hours too many for something as generic and repetitive as this.
-
It's the wide-ranging lack of polish that really damns Emergency Heroes to a forgettable existence, as the player vehicles have all the floaty steering and shaky physics of a shovelware budget title (but with twice the price tag), and I even managed to crash the game by falling through the ground during one mission.
-
And that was the kicker, after a game full of repetition, and boredom, a glitch was the final deal breaker. Here's hoping someone can come up with a competent emergency services game.
-
Emergency Heroes is a lazy and repetitive open-world driving game that will bore even the younger audience that it's aimed at.

LEVEL (Czech Republic)Are you a parent of a child who wants to be a fireman, rescuer or policeman and you don’t like it at all? Let him or her play Emergency Heroes and your problems become history. [Aug 2008]
