Crisis Team: Ambulance Driver (2002) - PC Gameplay

Crisis Team: Ambulance Driver is a third-person driving video game developed by Antidote Entertainment and published by ValuSoft, originally released in April 2002. In the game, players take on the role of an ambulance driver in a bustling city. The gameplay is heavily inspired on Sega's 1999 hit Crazy Taxi, so it adopts an arcade style of driving and controls, prioritizing a chaotic type of driving instead of simulating the real-world paramedic job, and also the music is fast-paced with heavy emphasis on high beat rock songs.

The game is set in a realistic urban environment filled with pedestrians and traffic. Players must navigate through the city, responding to emergency calls and racing against time to reach the scene of accidents or medical emergencies. The primary objective is to stabilize patients and transport them to the hospital as quickly and safely as possible. The game offers different shift lengths, allowing players to choose between 5, 10, or 20-minute sessions, each filled with various emergencies and obstacles.

As players progress, they encounter a variety of scenarios that test their driving skills and quick decision-making abilities. The city is designed with numerous hazards, including heavy traffic, narrow streets, and unpredictable pedestrian behavior. Players must carefully maneuver their ambulance to avoid collisions, which can result in penalties or additional patients to transport. The game also features different types of ambulances, each with unique handling characteristics, adding an extra layer of strategy to the gameplay. Successfully completing missions and transporting patients in a timely manner earns players points and unlocks new challenges and vehicles.
