Cnet Review : Emergency Mayhem (Wii)

Emergency Mayhem proves the age-old theory that if you can’t think of a good name for your town, you shouldn’t name it Crisis City. That’s just asking for trouble. The problems facing this bustling metropolis go far beyond an inadvisable name, though. Even the raging garbage fires on every corner and an epidemic of nails lodged in the intestines of careless citizens aren’t the biggest issues here. Technology is the true enemy of Crisis City. The visuals wouldn’t have looked out of place on the Nintendo 64 (sans Expansion Pak), and the motion controls vary between overly sensitive and completely unresponsive. These issues make the crimes and health risks cropping up all over town seem like little more than stubbed toes.
