Not compatable with Windows ME

My daughter was so disappointed that this game would NOT run with Windows Millennium. The company will not support this version of Windows that is being sold on new computers. Windows ME has been out for about a year, and they have no plans fix this major problem.

Emergency Room Disaster Strikes [is terrible] and Is Boring

Emergency Room Disaster Strikes [is terrible]. I bought the game ... at a discount store and my computer froze. It is not fun at all. I love the Sims better. I will never ever look or buy any games that are part of the emergency room series and or medical series. I am not cut out to even be a fake doctor. I can not even stand to watch the tv show ER. I would recommend The Sims and all four of the Sims expansion packs for teens and adults. The Sims and all four of the Sims expansion packs are fun.

Me? A real doctor ?

Ha! This game is so much fun! The paitents are very fun to work on and they talk! You can choose from over 100 different cases and all of them are different. The paitents wounds look realistic. You must read and learn about different treatment processes to correctly treat you paitent. Not only is this game educational but its tons of fun! My mum is a nurse and she loves to play this game too.

Limit to the type of case

Disaster strikes was OK I guess... I just didn't like the fact that it's almost entirely trauma injuries. Therefore, there are very few illnesses, overdoses, etc. It's mostly just blunt trauma. It gets kind of old after awhile. I'd recommend Code Red or ER3 more.

Too Hard!!

This game has so much potential, it is sad to see what the developers have done with it. This game seems to be more of a training course for medical school students, rather than a game for E.R. fans to play. Unless you hold a medical degree, it would be difficult, even using the extensive manual, to successfully complete the goals. A good game, but way too hard.

Better than ER2

This game goes a lot smoother and faster than ER2, plus it's a bit harder. However, I got to the top very easily (as I did in ER2). Also, the video sequences are filled with useless information and very bad actors. Nevertheless, I found this to be an exciting game, well worth playing.

A definite must for an enthusiast

I had a blast with this one. I enjoyed being able to pick from three disaster scenes, seeing the "patients" themselves tell me their symptoms in video format and picking patients on sight rather than by chart. A few things did bother me-eg, most of these cases should have been treated on site instead of taken by ambulance to the hospital, and I'd have liked to have an option there, and some of the injuries or illnesses didn't relate to the scenarios (eg, an ear infection) which was a little off-putting. And like all of the Legacy Interactive ER games, there are a few bugs but nothing that can't be fixed with the patches on the site. Definitely a lot of fun.

Too Tedious

This game is cool, but it is more like an actual medical class than a game. Don't get me wrong, I like a challenge but there is way too much reading. If I wanted to read that much I'd grab a book. But once you do read and are able to help your patients it is rewarding. I can really imagine how a doctor would feel after making someone feel better.

ER 2 actually helped me treat my ankle sprain!

Well I bought ER2 for my daughter about a year ago when she was a senoir in highschool and becuase she enjoyed this "game" so much she is now a freshman in med school and enjoying it very much. I just purchased Disaster Strikes for my son who cant seem to stop playing the game long enough so I can play- so I bought a copy for myself. I would recomend this product to anyone who wants to know what its like to make life or death descisions. Its Awsome!

I have recently bought this game. Personally, on a scale from 1-10 it should be an 11. This game teaches you the triumphs of a doctor. I think that if you are considering Emergency Medicine as a career, this is a great idea. Sound easy? Nope. This game is very exciting,intense, and addicting! I hope this helps!
