Why Five Stars, You Ask?

5 Rating: 5, Useful: 12 / 15

Why did I give this 5 stars?

Because it can be purchased, brand new, for $1.99 at local game shops trying to dump their remaining copies taking up shelf space.

For a measly two bucks, you can be the proud owner of the absolute worst game thrown together for the PS2!

the beat game eva

To start, this is not a fantastic game. Its one of those strangely entertaining venues that while you'll never really appreciate in full, has its merits on the side. I didn't play this game for about 6 months, then got hit with a craving. Its easy to master, boring to play for more then an hour or so, but something about it will keep you coming back later. I recommend it for a rent, i bought it to fill the urges. I also recommend State of Emergency and Shinobi as two quality entertaining games that you'll never bother sitting down and plugging away at.

Great Game

I read the other reviews and they weren't that good,I mean this game is worthy of 4 stars it's good but not great. It's fun but some times frustrating and hard.I like the fact that u hoover the city looling for a fire to put out with in a certain amount of time and u must rescue the people from the burning roof tops or u can have fun and drag the rescue guy in the basket along the streets,Or u can shine the spotlight on the fugitive so the cops can close in on the hijacked bus he he u be the judge it's your money

A Challenge But Not Brilliant

City Crisis when you first play it seems to be a brilliant game, but eventually it seems that that this game has no staying power. In the game you take the role of a pilot who helps to assist the police in chasing criminals, or you could be puting out fires and saving people from high-rise buildings. Yes this is an original style of game and it is fun to play but its not a game that i would go back to in a hurry

Good game, so-so graphics

Just goes to show you that being on the PS2 doesn't mean the graphics are phenomenal. This is a good game, with a couple of different modes to play in. The hardest thing is gauging how high/low you are in relation to the people/buildings, and the controls are VERY awkward at first (but become a little less awkward as you play and get used to them.). I wish I had bought it used because it wasn't worth (the price).

Kind of fun

I don't know what to say, this game is kind of fun, but really lacks any real replay value. You play as a chopper pilot who flies around the city either putting out fires and rescuing people or helping the police track down a bad guy. It can be fun, sending your little guy down a rope to pull up some poor little person, but it gets boring. Decent graphics and control are the only really high points for this title, and the number of modes are low, (3).

Hmmm .... must think wisely .

Don't expect any awesome graphics in here becasue you'll get very normal graphics in this game. The only reason the keeping this game attractive is the style of gameplay. People who love helicopters might love this game but for me it's ok to play when you get bored with other games.

Ughh... so so... I guess

Well you gotta give the game some credit, for its orginality at least. I've never seen a game like this before with a sim city view as you rescue innocent victims or chase down criminals. Now for the negatives. The game has terrible sound. The same music plays repeatedly over and over again throughout every single mission and that "accident" voice gets really annoying (u'd know if you played the game). Next, on to graphics. YUCK! C'mon, the city looks like a mess of jagged lines. What a terrible sim. Then, the controls: HARD!!! Don't think you'll ever get passed the first mission. Overall, a good rental but nothing more!

not a good bet

If you are used to SSX and Smuggler's Run type of graphics thisis not you game. The stly of gameplay seems slow and not very interesting, it also is a unpleasent reminder of September 11th, putting out fires in burning buildings will not get my liking or intrest for a few years.
