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!

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

Boring/stupid

What can I say about this game? Hmmm.......... Well, I can start out by saying that the graphics are simplistic, the soung is annoying, and the actual game, well, you are in a helicopter, which is impossible to steer and to do your missions, you pull people up and put out fires. Wow. Don't get this game; it's awful. Don't waste good money buying this garbage.

Why Five Stars, You Ask?

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!

Hurry save the dog!!! Don't worry 'bout the friggin' cop!!

This game is an absolute let-down to those of us who wanted a game with helicopters in it. The very first mission you get called in to a fire. There are two beings on the roof, a police man and a dog. I took my time saving the dog and went for the police man. The dog died. I lost fifteen thousand points. I decided to go ahead and try again, only this time I saved the dog. The police man died. I lost eight thousand points. This was a bsolutely astonishing! To think that an officer of the law is more expendable than a damn pooch!
I went on with the level. As I was casually hovering above the city, I noticed the unmistakeable cry for help somewhere below, It was at the carnival. I lowered the chopper down, sent down the retriever guy, pulled up the victim...... It was a Freaking pig!! Well I think it was a guy in costume, But still!! What the hell was he doing on top of that really tall building?! After that one was a very strange case, a woman got stuck in a storm drain on the side of the street and needed to be airlifted out! Why in the frick did they need a hellicopter for that one. pull a damn squad car around and help her out!!
The game is just plain stupid. Unless you are five or extremely geriatric (Geriatric means old) you would not find this game entertaining! The controls are sucky, and I can't even fly low enough to get to the fire without crashing into something. It blows that they grade you on chopper damage!! I guess the game is fine, if your looking for a laugh, but other than that, DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!! Trust me on this one folks.

P.S. the graphics suck too!!

original, but boring and frustrating

City Crisis is a helicopter simulation where you put out fires and rescue people from buildings. You can also use the helicopter to illuminate fleeing criminals with the night sun. Unfortunately, the game has horrible graphics and even worse game play, and the missions are redundant. I'm just glad I rented it and didn't waste more money buying it.

This is THE WORST PS2 game ever to infiltrate the market. It is worse than Tiger-Heli for the NES. Don't waste your money with this piece of garbage. Buy GTA3 or Metal Gear Solid 2.

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).

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.

nice game... for Sega Genesis maybe

this game irritates me to no end. A top-down helicopter rescue simulator with horrible blocky graphics, tinny music and annoying sound fx, that awful "accident!" voice that sounds after you beat one mission, and have to do another one with hardly any time left... this game is not worth renting, and certainly not worth buying. The helicopter is impossible to control and the missions are impossible. worst PS2 game yet, with the possible exception of Sled Storm (PS2 version)
