The Escapist: Emergency Heroes Review

The Escapist writes:

"That's the experience I imagine most adult gamers will have with Emergency Heroes - quickly bored with what the game has to offer, they'll start entertaining themselves within its decidedly bland open world. As a bargain bin title with simple objectives and solid mechanics, though, this wouldn't be a bad choice for a gamer dad or mom to pick up and play with their kid. They'll probably get a big kick out of the "Emergency Zero" line - I know I did."

Bottom line: A hollow open-world racer with solid motion controls but zero content. It's too shallow for adults, but the colorful characters, fun driving and easy objectives might make it decent entertainment for the younger set.

Recommendation: Rent it for your kid brother/sister/cousin/niece/nephew, or leave it to bargain bin perdition.
