Ubisoft issues call for Emergency Heroes

By Tom Magrino, GameSpotPosted Mar 31, 2008 3:27 pm PT

Publisher's open-world rescue driving game offers Wii gamers 16 different vehicles in which to protect and serve this May.

There comes a time in many children's lives when they realize that, yes, it would be cool to drive a fire truck. While gaming sims catering to aspiring public servants have been woefully lacking in the past, Ubisoft will soon be delivering a rescue vehicle catchall, taking place in the future no less.

The curvature of the buildings lets you know its futuristic.

Titled Emergency Heroes, the game presents an open-world environment where players seek out harrowing situations in one of 16 different rescue vehicles. Players will be able to hop in the souped-up rides of police officers, firefighters, or EMTs, and in Crazy Taxi fashion they can explore the futuristic city of San Alto looking for opportunities to ply their trade. Civil servants will also have the chance to pair up for two-player co-op gaming.

Developed by Ubisoft Reflections and Ubisoft Barcelona, Emergency Heroes will arrive exclusively for the Nintendo Wii in May.

    pencilpusher69 is right, Brawl's online does suck! MoHH2 is so much better. Brawl is ok when you can finally get connected after sometimes up to half an hour, and when you don't have lag that makes you wait 5 seconds every single time you push the button. MoHH2 has seamless online, and is incredible to play with the zapper.

    svenskamerikan- Why? Because once in a while there's lag in Brawl?

    Have you even played other Wii games online???

    MoH2 32 player games run great, as do the other games I've played online.

    This sounds pretty cool, hopefully it won't turn into one of those games like Felony 11-79!

    So it's essentially Crazy Taxi but with emergency vehicles? I dunno, I think it'd be more fun to actually be able to get out of the car and do some stuff, but I guess it'll be a game CT fans will enjoy.

    Sounds like a interesting twist. Might be useful for learning how to drive a cop car before going into the academy. lol
