Emergency Mayhem puts the player at the helm of the three emergency services in a frantic race against time to holdtogether Crisis City, a mad metropolis falling apart at the seams.
Combining chaotic driving sequences with arcade mini-games, you’ll be in stitches controlling the frenzied police, fireservice or paramedics as they dash around the city from one emergency situation to the next. With over 30 missions, it’sa non-stop time crisis where you’ll be rescuing people from burning buildings, defusing bombs and more.
However, in this city, the emergencies are of a decidedly slapstick nature; crazy situations will have you hurling bananasat out-of-control monkeys, using a trampoline to bounce escaping prisoners back into custody and herding penguins to safetywith hilarious consequences. In a city where there’s always an urgent situation calling out for your attention, even thosemischievous monkeys will get in your way.
In Emergency Mayhem time is your enemy, relentlessly counting down as you take charge of a fire truck, ambulance, or policecar to speed through the city’s eight different districts to the next emergency. Have you got the nerves necessary to beatthe clock and save the city? Find shortcuts, such as making use of the city’s underground railways lines and even sewers,to get there on time and save the day.
When you reach the scene of the emergency play switches to one of over 30 mini-games which take unique advantage of the WiiRemote to solve crazy crises. Using the Wii Remote, you’ll have to pump the to practice CPR, point it to direct water from apowerful hose, mimic a wrench to bring bursting water-hydrants under control and aim it to fire tranquiliser darts intoon-the-rampage monkeys!
The game is released on Nintendo Wii on April 18th for £39.99, and is currently on Amazon.co.uk at the above link for £29.98.
