THE CITY'S
ON FIRE AND
THERE ARE
MONKEYS
EVERYWHERE!
IT'S BEDLAM
IN
CODEMASTERS'
EMERGENCY
MAYHEM™
Duck for
Cover as
Codemasters
Puts Players
in Charge of
the
Emergency
Services in
the Most
Accident-Prone
City of All
Time!
Burbank, CA
- December
19, 2007 -
Set to put
the
"urgency"
into
"emergency,"
Codemasters®
today
announced
Emergency
Mayhem™
exclusively
for the
Nintendo
Wii™.
Coming Q2
2007,
Emergency
Mayhem puts
the player
at the helm
of the three
emergency
services in
a frantic
race against
time to hold
together
Crisis City,
a mad
metropolis
falling
apart at the
seams.
Combining
chaotic
driving
sequences
with arcade
mini-games,
you'll be in
stitches
controlling
the frenzied
police, fire
service or
paramedics
as they dash
around the
city from
one
emergency
situation to
the next.
With over 30
missions,
it's a
non-stop
time crisis
where you'll
be rescuing
people from
burning
buildings,
defusing
bombs and
more.
However, in
this city,
the
emergencies
are of a
decidedly
slapstick
nature.
Crazy
situations
will have
you hurling
bananas at
out-of-control
monkeys,
using a
trampoline
to bounce
escaping
prisoners
back into
custody and
herding
penguins to
safety with
hilarious
consequences.
In Emergency
Mayhem, time
is your
enemy,
relentlessly
counting
down as you
take charge
of a fire
truck,
ambulance,
or police
car to speed
through the
city's eight
different
districts to
the next
emergency.
Have you got
the nerves
necessary to
beat the
clock and
save the
city? Find
shortcuts by
making use
of the
city's
underground
railways
lines and
even sewers
to get there
on time and
save the
day!
When you
reach the
scene of the
emergency
play
switches to
one of over
30
mini-games,
which take
unique
advantage of
the Wii™
remote to
solve crazy
crises.
Using the
Wii™ remote,
you'll have
to pump the
trigger to
practice
CPR, point
it to direct
water from a
powerful
hose, mimic
a wrench to
bring
bursting
water-hydrants
under
control and
aim it to
fire
tranquilizer
darts into
on-the-rampage
monkeys!
Get ready to
put down
those
monkeys and
put on the
uniform in
Q2 2008 when
Codemasters
launches
Emergency
Mayhem for
the Wii™ to
the sound of
sirens! If

need of
emergency
assistance
