RESCUE 2: Everyday Heroes Reviews

The game lacks polish, the play is fun but the beginning to just not straight forward. After some time playing you begin to notice that is you do specific commands to fast it bugs out. Don't get me wrong i like the concept and challenge to manage pipes/hoses and equipment. But the its just to buggy. Even though this is releases in 2015, there are no updates anymore so it wont get any better. Side note: DONT GO TO THE WEBSITE. it's spam.

If Emergency simulators interest you. I would add this one to your list because this game is very smooth and it performs stable on my gaming machine, that is most important for stress-free gaming. The graphics and framerates are exceptional and very smooth on my GTX980M 8GB Graphics Card. The gameplay is very good and even excellent as 99% of the time, the Friefighters and Medics respond to your commands as you instruct them. The storyline missions are well set out and as you would expect really. As you progress, the levels get harder to complete and your skills and orders you give to the team of firefighters and medics can mean the difference between success and failure. So careful planning and fast actions will be needed on critical missions. As you progress through the game, there are additional emergency vehicles and tutorials that are unlocked as levels are completed. Another thing to note here is that some emergency vehicles that become available can make the harder missions more easier to complete successfully. A certain fire truck is a must have for certain difficult missions in the game. But I will leave it there because I am not going to ruin any surprises :). The AI is quite good for most of the game and I will point out its weaknesses in a moment. The good things I like about the AI control of the firefighters is that when I command one to extinguish one fire, They will automatically move onto another one nearby that is what is expected and it works similar to another well known Emergency Simulator that I also play. The missions are quite fun to play as I do certainly enjoy playing this game and I think the majority of the players that enjoy these games would enjoy this one as well. Sadly where this game boasts its strengths and it is a well thought out simulation. There are some drawbacks that should have been fixed and one of the weaknesses is the way the AI behaves. A prime example is if a fire re-ignites and the firefighter is nearby. They will stand dormant and take damage rather than automatically use the hose to put it out. I would have to manually select them and command them to do it. Whilst this is generally not a problem on more easier missions. Its a bit inconvenient when the player is trying to do another critical task on another part of the map. The second let down is that once you complete the storyline missions. There is only random missions left which can be a bit repetitive after a while. Personally I would like to see an expansion pack become available for this game in the future. Although I highly recommend this video game for anyone that likes emergency simulations as it is a very fun game to play and my money was well spent here :). Overall Rating: 8/10.

Very good game, i've enjoyed it a lot but the emergency calls get repetitive. I would really like if we were able to download mods from the steam workshop and i would really like it if there were more new different missions and more trucks added to the game.

I know this game is a god game with loads of hours of play, it is challenging at some points and boring at other. Good things about this game is that the game play is fun, graphics are good. Ita mostly challenging and it takes you a long time to get all the stations and fire trucks, the game is infinate. Bad things about this game is that it still has a few bugs that the community has already spoken of and the developers are handling good. Sound is not the best. And some times it gets boring for brief moments because some levels are very repetitve and you get tired of the same level. he story is fun but it doesnt have much to it. Overall I would recommend the game, Im sure the developers will fix those bugs and hopfully bring some more missions so that we dont get sick of the same missions. I give it a 8/10

I think this is better then the first this is redemption for this series I like it but its still missing things such as Hazmat, Helicopters and command units but they can get that in the next one or in a North America expansion pack. needs more missions which could come in expansion. I love the fact you can draw water from other sources. but overall I am happy with it I think this could start to give Emergency line of games a run for there money. My Wish list to see -Hazmat -Command units such as EMS sup or Battalion Chief. -would love to see tower ladders and stick ladder's with pipes for attack's on fire with water -Add Quints -The irons AKA Axe and Halligans -Maybe an airport with crash tender -Rescue and USAR -Quick attack lines -MasCas and or Large Ambulances -Add Plasma torches -Water rescue and fire boats -the Jaws of life -add Saw's. What I can say I hope the Dev's take this and run with it you have nearly hit your stride. I would love to see a lot more of the tools of the trade

Starts off strong, repeats certain missions frequently, this is broken up by advancing the 'story' and getting more equipment and vehicles. I got to a mission where my FF had to carry a guy down the turntable ladder, but instead kept appearing at the bottom of said ladder and climbing up. Buggy.

Game looks fancy at first launch, but it is buggy, boring and unfinished. I didn't even unlocked few easiest achivements, becouse it is so bad. Animations are horrible, they seem so unnatural, same thing goes with movement. Missions are also boring, you just have endless "random" challange, which gets repetetive really quick. [b]IT IS ENTERTAINING [/b] [u]FOR FIRST HOUR OF GAMEPLAY [/u] There is no any reason for which you should buy this game. And yeah, 20 bucks/euros is too much. Better buy 911:First Responders for 5 bucks/euros, and this is Emergency 4 with mod support... so choice is yours... But I strongly reccomend 911:First Responders instead of this game.

I have played 12 hours of this RESCUE 2 game that i got on release date. GOOD THINGS: Amazing graphics and lighting Realistic equipment and vehicles Realistic incidents Water levels Several stations Organising vehicles BAD THINGS: Incidents are repetitivly staged and repeats, which leaves the player bored after an hour of gameplay Fire spread is way too intense, nowhere near a realistic level. The only vehicles that can contain firefighters are engines. Firefighters cannot be customized, in regards to uniform, helmets, colors, tags. Firefighters literally cannot put out fires without constant player supervision. The ai will almost every time stand inside the fire, having given up on attempting to put it out. Foam does not stay onto objects to isolate them from fire or oxidation. why even use it? Oxygen levels. Wow. This is just bad. first of all, NO firefighters use oxygen inside the SCBA. Using Oxygen for breathing creates an enormous fire and explosion hazard if pressurized oxygen were to burst near a fire. Now for the actual gameplay mechanics of oxygen: Your firefighters oxygen level drains as he is nearby smoke or fire. if you stand near a fire in the game you have 15 seconds of oxygen. WAT. Diffrent kinds of fires. Not worth 24,99 hueroes

As a firefighter, this game is interesting and keeps me playing but is nowhere near realistic. As a real time strategy gamer, this game is not what anyone is really looking for. Expect the following: - To have to micromanage -There is zero AI. If you want it done, you will have to issue at minimum of 5 commands for the most basic of functions. (Select engine 1-1 > crew exit > select firefighter > pull hose from engine 1-1 > attach hose to engine 1-1 > attack fire) - Did I say micromanage? - You will be unable to stack actions. Seriously. Even issuing a command after the task has been completed will still require that you wait a set time frame to pass before your selected unit is open to an additional command. - Tutorials occur after they are useful - Trial and error reign supreme until you manage to pass a tasking missions without neccessary equipment. The required equipment IS available for purchase before said mission if you happen to look for it, but the tutorials on the equipment will not become available until you either fail the mission or stumble through to success. - Various glitches - The game permits skipping of tutorial missions but with some potentially game breaking consequences. Occaisionally you will find that after skipping a tutorial in the very beginning of the game, you'll be given multiple appartus but no crew to staff said apparatus. To top that off, you will not be given enough funds to hire crew requiring that you start a new game. Or you'll transfer units between various stations and they will fail to change unit numbers resulting with multiple units sharing the same identifying name. - Repetitive story - once you play through the 15-ish calls the game repeats itself to extend replay value. - Near non-existent storyline - You essentially have to create your own narrative for this game folks. - Achievements fail to trigger - I have beat this game multiple times and have nothing to show for it. It's an uphill struggle to enjoy this game.

Hello there There are a lot of good things I like about this game. The graphics look realy nice and the map is very beautiful. The gameplay is also nice and the AI is not so stupid. There are some new, good things in comparison with the first game. The oxigen bottles and the unlimited fire extinguishers are nice. And you can have more than one HQ. Although I think they have missed a lot of greath things from the previous game (Rescue - Everyday Heroes (U.S. Edition) see: http://store.steampowered.com/app/253130/). For example the big ambulances (but that, indeed, is an American thing...) and the rescue vehicles for the road accidents. The customisation of the HQ has also dissapeared, which is a sad thing. The training classes and fitness also have dissapeared. In general it is a good game, but they have left out a couple of greath things from the first game.
