5.0 out of 5 stars stellok@hotmail.com
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!

3.0 out of 5 stars 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars ER 2 actually helped me treat my ankle sprain!, November 19, 1999
This review is from: Emergency Room: Disaster Strikes (CD-ROM)
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best out of ALL the Legacy Interactive games!, December 23, 2001
By 
"bailey200" (CT United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Emergency Room: Disaster Strikes (CD-ROM)
I have every single one of the ER... games. This one has been my favorite since I got it. I love the easy-to-use features and variety of patients. There is even a doctor's lounge where you can play a video game! This is very realistic. The nurses are sometimes hostile towards you, the new doctor. This is worth the money, unlike ER3....

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than ER2, October 16, 2000
By 
"tigera2001" (Oregon, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Emergency Room: Disaster Strikes (CD-ROM)
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Me? A real doctor ?, January 2, 2003
This review is from: Emergency Room: Disaster Strikes (CD-ROM)
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars A definite must for an enthusiast, September 9, 2002
This review is from: Emergency Room: Disaster Strikes (CD-ROM)
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Too Tedious, June 10, 2008
= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Emergency Room: Disaster Strikes (CD-ROM)
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too Hard!!, August 3, 2001
By 
John Maxwell (Pasadena, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Emergency Room: Disaster Strikes (CD-ROM)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars cool, June 19, 2004
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Emergency Room: Disaster Strikes (CD-ROM)
This is real cool, you have to treat loads of realistic and gory things, it's fun, you can get promotions to, from medical student, to chief o staff. You can even get help by clicking somein', you patients talk at you, they can also die. Then the Chief of Staff, Dr. Ed Snyder (?) will review your profromense, and if you killed the patient he'll insult you or say somein' stupid like "Doctor, this is a Hospital, not the Morgue!"
