Summary
Exclusively for Wii, Emergency Mayhem mixes fast and frantic driving action with hilarious arcade mini games. Take charge of the three Emergency Services, you’ll have to battle the traffic and shoot down shortcuts as you race from crazy catastrophe to daft disaster. At each incident, you'll use the Wii Remote in wacky ways to solve unique crises, from disarming bombs to herding escaped penguins! Then it's on to the next emergency - no time to waste!

Gamers' Temple
Emergency Mayhem throws some wacky tasks our way as we race to reduce mayhem but really reducing panic has never felt so repetitive.
Read Full Review >Game Informer
The single-player experience can be completed in a few hours, and the painful minigames give you good reason to skip the multiplayer.
Read Full Review >ZTGameDomain
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.
Read Full Review >Cheat Code Central
While I like its charm and the gameplay is satisfactory, the game is just far too repetitive and short.
Read Full Review >Official Nintendo Magazine UK
If you're after more than ten minutes of distraction, look somewhere else. [May 2008, p.90]
IGN
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.
Read Full Review >Da Gameboyz
The frantic pace of the Emergency Mayhem serves up a level of enjoyment, but the initial shine and excitement wears off pretty quickly.
Read Full Review >NGamer UK
Welcome to Migraine City, population you. [June 2008, p.54]
Worth Playing
The overall feeling given by Emergency Mayhem is that of a game that tries entirely too hard to mimic the most successful title in this genre, and fails rather badly on all counts.
Read Full Review >Games Master UK
Without the fitting visuals, this would be unbearable. [May 2008, p.84]
n-Revolution Magazine UK
It may be one of the best of its breed, but that's like saying smallpox is the best communicable disease. [Issue#22, p.74]
Gamer's Hell
All is not lost however, as, parents, the game is a perfect tool to buy for your kids—to threaten them with if they fail to do their chores.
Read Full Review >GameShark
The game is extremely easy to finish in a single afternoon. Not that you should play it, mind you. There are far better choices out there than Emergency Mayhem.
Read Full Review >Gamervision
There’s just nothing here of any real value. Boring, unresponsive, tedious, repetitive mini-games loosely tied together with boring, unresponsive, tedious, repetitive driving sequences.
Read Full Review >PALGN
Emergency Mayhem features poor driving and very average mini games - this is a title that is worth avoiding.
Read Full Review >Armchair Empire
To work though the course of the game takes a few hours at most on the middle difficulty. That is, if you have even moderate gaming experience. For kids - in other words, not Teens - it takes a little more time and they're much more forgiving of the game's repetitiveness.
Read Full Review >1UP
Playing the same boring minigames over and over again in each stage (sometimes five or six times, without deviation), coupled with simple driving tasks and a lack of significant variation between missions make this a joyless grind with little reward.
Read Full Review >GameSpot
Emergency Mayhem is an example of how not to make a minigame collection.
