Rescue Team 3 Reviews

It is an awesome game! No bugs, no problem etc. Got me hooked for hours. It's a nice and casual way to keep myself entertained after a long day.

Out of all of the Rescue Team games, this is my least favourite. Game is significantly different than the two previous and definitely not as interesting as the later game levels.

Rescue Team 3 is an enjoyable time/resource management game and the third game of the series. You collect resources, repair buildings and roads, and remove debris. You also rescue the residents. It's a fun game and you should get it if you are a fan of the genre.

I picked up this game in a bundle with the first two titles in the series, and it was well worth it. If you've played the earlier two games, you'll appreciate the improvements made in this version. The traditional obstacles and pickups are there, but now there's a queue for when you have multiple objects to collect at once. The result is that you're no longer frantically clicking to make sure your worker runs out as soon as they're available. Instead, a little "check mark" appears next to items in your queue (which you can remove with a right-click) and keep your workers moving, leaving more of the game to your strategy as opposed to the speed of your clicking finger. They've introduced oil/petrol as a collected resource, so now helicopters and boats have their own required resource and allow for the inclusion of fuel stations and oil wells. Other enhancements and improvements in level design await you. Workers, doctors, helicopters, firefighters, and police all need to be deployed to solve the varied puzzles. Obstacles include piles of wood and rock, forest fires (which, on later levels, can spread and cause you to fail the stage if you're not quick enough to respond!), burglars, and even poison gases. A snarky story ties things all together (impressive enough to include dialogue between characters!), and even hints at a sequel. The art has received an overhaul as well, so as you progress through the game you'll be greeted by varied stages, character renderings, and decent 2D special effects. To sum up, this is a fitting entry to the series, and much improved from the previous titles. If you're already a fan of this series or time-management games in general, you'll be pleased.

I don't care for a lot of the changes made in the third installment, and ultimately didn't enjoy playing it nearly as much as the previous two. Pros- -Firemen & Policemen are a nice addition -Treating animals was a nice change of pace -The fire spreading through wood debris that endangers civilians adds to the excitement Cons- -Villagers needing to be assigned over and over again to the same buildings are tedious -Removal of the player house, & its upgrades -All the cutscenes actually took away from my enjoyment of the game

Right off the bat, the game has black bars on both sides. I thought this would be an issue but to my surprise I immediately looked past it because of how well the game is utilized within those black bars and you'll know what I'm talking about. I do like the changes(so far) the game has made and I'll update this review once I invest more time into it. Liking it so far and I do recommend it at fifty cents(what I pay for all these games).

Much harder than the previous two games. It seems that they have given us fewer levels but made them harder to compensate. I finished the game in 3 hours but didn't get gold time on many of the levels. For many of them I had no real interest in replaying the level to get gold, as I couldn't really see how I could do better. There is also no meta progression in this game unlike the last two. There is a new mechanic that allows you to selectively generate extra resources. In my opinion the levels have become far too complex for what should be a casual game.

Hum... kinda meh! This is a time management game. The graphics are a bit outdated, and the music is irrelevant. The story is simple and not a big deal. No bugs or crashes. Overall, it's entertaining but a lesser sequel. There are some new twists, but nothing special. Some levels are excessively difficult to beat on time and seem to rely on fast clicking rather than strategic gameplay—way too fast clicking for a casual game. Not mentioned in the description, but it includes cards. There are achievements, but they are in-game only. The story is very simple, almost skeletal, and ends on a cliffhanger... go figure! Anyway, if you enjoy this genre, you will get mostly the usual stuff. However, this particular game feels lazy, lacks originality, and is very skippable. Maybe the number 4 will be better; this one is a miss.

[h1]Short version: 82%[/h1] Rescue Team 3’s revitalised formula—including faster, tighter gameplay and especially its sarcastic storyline—elevates it far above many similar time management games. [h1]Long version:[/h1] Rescue Team 3 is a sequel that changes things around, and changes them a fair bit. On the surface, it may not be apparent, as gameplay-wise it is the same time manager game as the rest of the series. We use a bunch of rescue workers to collect resources, clear obstacles, patch up ruined buildings, and save civilians. Thanks to one nice trick though, it is also a lot faster than its predecessors were: workers stay on the field a bit after completing a task, which cuts downtime significantly, resulting in a tighter, more fun gameplay. (Also, we can finally use the civilians for one-time production bursts.) The real strength of Rescue Team 3 lies in its storyline. Many may not like its approach, but it is a refreshing change compared to the sanitised cuteness of most casual games. In this game, we have to rescue the citizens of one of the most corrupt government in existence, who wilfully neglected all safety precautions to embezzle even more money. Now, they use some of that money to pay off a bunch of amoral, lazy rescue workers who spend almost as much effort looking for ways to fill their own pockets as doing their job. Yes, this game is full of cynicism and sarcasm, but in an incredibly humorous, nonsensical way, and this change alone makes it probably the best in the entire series.
