We tested the Windows version of this game. Kids have to select one of three rescue vehicles, and then save the day by steering it around different town scenes. Select a fire truck for example, and press the mouse to put out fires, round up lost dogs and collect medals. The game lacks depth, the controls are a bit clunky, and how to return the lost animals to their homes isn't obvious at first. Driving the characters through the colorful scenes is very entertaining, however. There is no learning value -- but this is a painless and fun way to pass some time.
