Emergency Heroes is a driving game. The vehicles are fundamental to gameplay, and every mission requires a range of driving abilities provided by that vehicle. For example, the Rescue Buggies are centered on making jumps, while police perform much chasing. Players drive 12 different variations of rescue vehicles as either; Police Pursuit, Police Road Clearance, Firefighter or Rescuer (the other 3 being criminal vehicles) and navigate through the streets of San Alto, keeping citizens safe along the way. The game also features a two player mode for two players.
