A huge range of realistic emergency resources and vehicles including helicopters, heavy salvage trucks and more. [Strategy First Inc.]

  1. The vehicles look and sound good, but I would have preferred an update to the sirens used in the US version of the game.
  2. Micromanagement is emphasized, explaining its popularity(in Germany)--so if you're into that, Emergency 3 is an enjoyable RTS. [July 2006, p.67]
  3. Emergency 3 really has a lot going for it, and breathes new life into a stagnant market full of destructive gaming. Still, the nagging issues of a clunky interface, coupled with rather monotonous gameplay, may present some problems.
  4. The problem is that as much as it wasn’t a bad game it wasn’t a great game either, falling somewhere in the realm of mediocre. Then again...so is most reality TV.
