A really fun game, and not to mention that Noah Wyle's voice and likeness is really hot!

The game is a bit short, but it is still fun! Glad I bought it.

It's not so much a medical game as it is a simulation game.

I recommend this game to people who like the show, and to gamers who like simulation games.

A real treat for an ER fan!

What a great idea for a game. I love the show and this really puts you in the ER. The layout of the hospital is just like on the show and they use the real stars' voices which are excellent by the way! It's not bloody or violent so it's definitely okay for my kids, although the controls might be a little difficult for some. I was thinking that the action was going to be more like the show, but my husband who doesn't watch ER liked it also.
Overall, a fun way to get a glimpse of the crazy hectic life of an intern!!

This is a great game

I thought this game had great gameplay and was a lot of fun. My version wasn't buggy at all, although you should make sure that your computer meets the game requirements. If you like the TV show, then you'll love this game. I t captures both the medical drama and melodrama...

Fun Game Glitch in Software

The ER game is great fun. It has many levels you must achieve before moving on. You have the option to save after each level. The biggest problem is the glitch in the software. I originally purchased this game at a store and when I had the problem of it locking up, I returned it. I decided to try again & purchase another one only to have the identical problem. When I contaced Legacy--the software co. they said a patch was avaiable but once I downloaded it, the game still did not work. It locks up constantly in the same places and you cannot bypass the level. It was a waste of money. Do not buy this game.

loved the game- its just not one of those indefinite ending games

i absolutely loved this game. i am obsessed with the ER show and i really liked this game. Its not complicated at all, but definitely kept me not wanting to stop playing it.
It is one of the games, though that is similiar to the csi/law and order series in that its only a set number of missions you can play, unlike the sims or rollercoastertycoon/etc. There are enough missions to keep you going for a while though and its really fun to try and become a good doctor and then get your own med students.
you definitely should download the patch and the game works perfectly fine after that.(otherwise it gradually runs slower and slower).

overall, i totally love this game. its challenging, but easy to learn and it kept me interesting and kept me wanting to get better as a doctor and earn the specialty personality traits. you can even form relationships with other doctors and kiss them and talk or you can just focus totally on getting your skills way up there. either way, if you love the show, youll love the game!!

Interesting game with alot of potential.

ER, the official game from the television show ER is a game that offers you the chance to work in the Emergency Department of the hospital, starting as an intern and working your way up the ranks.

The game starts with you deciding what you, as the doctor should look like, you can only decide your hair colour, eye colour, scrub colour (your clothes), what pre-made head you would like and if you want to wear a jacket or not. There aren't many available "looks" you can choose but the amount available is good.

You then get the option to play the tutuorial, although helpful to begin with it leaves out some important information that you have to work out, so if you didnt play it, you could work it out.

The main aim of the game is to help the many patients who fill the waiting room. You as the doctor walk over to the patient, diagnosis them (which will make them become a colour depending on how sick they are, there are 10 levels of sickness, level 1 is bright green and is not sick as all, these patients take only a small amount of time to heal, the colour changed to yellow and then to level 10 which is flashing red, if your patient is level 10 they die.) Once the patient is diagnosed they are moved into one of the available beds in different rooms. Once the patient is in bed you just click on the patient and you start to heal them. This was the frustrating part as you can't actually heal them yourself. Once healed the patient walks out of the hospital and you start the process again.

The game does consists of many challenging-at-first situations, on one level you get the chance to taking care of 5 interns, who indefinatly will end up killing the patient if you dont step in and take control, you can at times choice who to fire from the emergancy department and you take care of many interesting characters who will all come in with something wrong, but then will need a new diagnois, heading to the lab for the majority of you shift.

You can make friends by talking with other doctors and nurses, which has many advantages, such as raising you emotion levels, and getting you perks that will make your time in the Emergency depeartment less stressful. Or you can do the opposite and make enemies who will make your life as hard as they can.

An at times annoying aspect of the game is the need to refresh your needs. At the start of this shift you energy, hygiene and emotion bars are at max, but working a stressful 36 hour shift will make the bars drop, with results such as patients apparently not wanting to come near you cause you smell, or you collapsing because your energy is so low so you end up in the staff lounge in bed. This can create problems in a emergency.

The game only has 2 levels of the hospital, the emergancy level and the staff level (where the bathroom is, the canteen and the gym...) with an added section for the ambulance area.

This game is not very hard once you know what you are doing, many aspects of the game can be frustrating, but the generaly game is very fun and addictive to play. I was disapointed as there are only 6 or 7 levels , a level being the 36 in-game-hour shift to complete, which resulted in me finishing the game quickly, but the good thing about it, is that there are many different ways to play the game so you can just restart and play differently.

Great Game!!!!!!!!!!

This game is very addicting and fun. Even though you don't get to pick up and use the medical instruments, it is still fun. If you like the show ER you will love this game! If you don't watch the show you will still like it.

ER made fun

This game proved to be challenging and held my attention for hours on end. The possibilities are endless which adds to the
challenge of the game.
Would highly recommend for anyone who is a fan of ER, and this game will prove entertaining long after the duration of the television show.

For ER Fans

I'll start of by saying that this game is NOT for a person interested in "learning medicine" while they play. This is more of simulation game, role playing game.(like The Sims) ER is very vague in medical details. It is rated T, and it is not at all graphic. No blood, no guts, etc....It is a game that makes you feel like you're in an ER episode. The TV show--not a real Emergency Room. The voice overs are great. And I like this game because it's a family game.

This game is not a "Medical Challenge" it is a STRATEGY game. It's definitly built to try to break your composure! You just have to be able to think quickly, and multi task. You don't have to know the difference between Tylenol and Advil to play! HA HA!

If you're a real ER fan, that wants to take the show into another level, then you'll like this PC game. It really just gives you the feeling that you're really there with the cast of the show.

Tons of fun!

This game is a blast, and a must-have for fans of the show! If you think it's fun watching the drama unfolding around your favorite ER characters, wait until you put yourself right beside them and get right into the middle of the action! You'll see crazy "CIA" agents, escaped mental patients, and roving reporters - and that's just the first three "days"! Just to warn you - this game is rather addictive! You'll want to play all day!

I will mention that the graphics aren't 100% - sometimes my doctor will walk through furniture. All in all, this doesn't hinder game play in any way.
