    The game's instant appeal fades quickly. It's cheap but not particularly cheerful. [July 2008, p.86]

    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.

    Not a bad game at all, from reading the press reviews it looks like they have failed to realize that the game is aimed at kids. I bought it for my son after he read the review in Pokemon world magazine and he loves it. They gave it a 9/10. I'm gonna give it the same for the fun he has been having playing it.… Expand

    i didnt particularily like this game there is almost nothing to do once you beat the story line and it has an ending you can totally see coming from a mile away and the other play modes arent even that fun even if you are playing with a friend i am glad i didnt waste money on this and i got it for free because you can beat it and be done with it in one sitting if you really want to but it is hard to do that because after a little bit you cant play anymore because it just becomes a chore. the controls are hard and the steering is crap this game was defenatly ment for the younger generation but im not even sure they would find it fun. if you really want to play this rent it dont waste money on it… Expand

    I see hardly anything good in this game. Driving is hard because handling is horrible, and once you get the hand of it, it's over. It�39;s a very short game.… Expand
