Ubisoft is coming out with a new Wii game called Emergency Heroes. Emergency Heroes is set in an open world and it’s the players job to keep the city safe. 16 “next-generation” rescue vehicles will be available ranging from Cop cars, Fire trucks, and more. The game will support two player co-op and versus and will fully utilize the Wiimote. The game should be out sometime this May.
The premise sounds fun. Actually, the premise makes me think of Crackdown. Really, this kind of sounds like Crackdown to a degree. The high tech vehicles, the free-roaming environment, protecting the city and the upgrades all remind me of Crackdown. Now all this game needs is a bunch of stupid orbs hidden all around the city and we’re set. Oh and guns. Lots and lots of guns.
