There's an element of micromanagement, but it doesn't offend thanks to the right mouse button, which tends to arrange the most sensible thing. The controls are a strange blend of pernickety and intuitive. And the other half is an entertaining sandbox city where you deal with multiple emergencies to earn the equipment required for the next big disaster.
One half of the game is focussed on scripted situations, in which you deal with increasingly huge disasters.
Fair enough, though - engineers have skill sets that complement an urban environment better than a slow-motion tit montage. You load out and deploy, RTS style, the four emergency services: police, fire, ambulance and, in a bold statement that will infuriate coastguards, the fourth group are engineers. Sometimes, one situation will require multiple people and resources, and it's your job to make sure everyone knows where to go.Įmergency 4 is strange, it's a game that is summed up by the sentence on the back of the box: "You bear responsibility for life and dead!" Flawed, but basically charming. After you have all of the people as well as their important vehicles in place, you then can control them to take care of the problem or problems that are occurring. When you call in services, everyone arrives in vehicles, meaning you'll have to drive in, for instance, a police officer in a police car. Objective of Emergency 4: Global Fighters for LifeĪs mentioned, in this game, you'll be working to bring in the tools, people and equipment you need to take care of whatever life is currently throwing at you. In the other category, there are other crucial emergency services that don't really work in any other category like engineers, a bridge layer and other various key professionals that can really make a difference. The fire section will give you control over everything from a basic fire truck to rescue boats and even something called a Fire Tank. Medical encompasses things like rescue dogs, med-evac helicopters and ambulances. Each one is pretty self-explanatory: police units will put you in charge of everything from police helicopters to simple patrol officers.
