Emergency Mayhem
Emergency Mayhem is a racing action video game developed by Supersonic Software and published by Codemasters for the Wii.
Gameplay
The game is based around the three main emergency services. The player must drive to the destination as quickly as possible. There's a minigame at the end of each level, which is based around defusing the situation. These minigames use the Wii Remote's motion sensing. These minigames include administering CPR, disarming bombs, and wrangling escaped zoo animals, among others.Development
