  1. Emergency Mayhem throws some wacky tasks our way as we race to reduce mayhem but really reducing panic has never felt so repetitive.
  2. The single-player experience can be completed in a few hours, and the painful minigames give you good reason to skip the multiplayer.

    However if you are a fan of classic arcade driving games like Sega's aforementioned cabbie title then you may want to check Mayhem out. It can definitely entertain even if only for minutes at a time.

    If you're after more than ten minutes of distraction, look somewhere else. [May 2008, p.90]

    Emergency Mayhem is a me-too Crazy Taxi clone with some added Wii waggle minis. If you can live with that -- and the game's lackluster graphical presentation -- you will find a fast-paced, arcde-style driving game here.
  6. While I like its charm and the gameplay is satisfactory, the game is just far too repetitive and short.
  7. The frantic pace of the Emergency Mayhem serves up a level of enjoyment, but the initial shine and excitement wears off pretty quickly.
