Montreal, Canada (April 5, 2006) - Strategy First and developer Sixteen Tons Entertainment announced today that Emergency 3 has shipped to retailers nationwide.

From Strategy First:

Accidents, natural disasters, and intense police operations impact every decision gamers make in Emergency 3, which can mean life or death for those involved. As the head of all rescue operations, gamers must ensure that the job gets done using all fire & rescue services, police, and specialist personnel. A huge range of realistic emergency resources and vehicles are at the gamer’s disposal, including helicopters, heavy salvage trucks and more.

“There are too many games out there where being the good guy means you have to do a lot of bad stuff,” said Jay Podilchuk, Executive Producer at Strategy First. “Emergency 3 offers the same frantic strategy inherent in any RTS, but at the same time you are rescuing civilians, saving cities, and generally doing some real good for the world! Besides, you get to play that famous fireman that all your girlfriends have been fantasizing about.”

Featuring new pulse-pounding rescue missions and the latest 3D technology, Emergency 3 also includes real-time physics (falling debris), a scenario editor and endless mode. Gamers are now held accountable for the safety of an entire town.

Emergency 3 is now at a suggested retail price of $29.99. Emergency 3 is rated T for Teen by the ESRB.
