Take the role of a police officer, firefighter, or emergency medical specialist in an open-world setting. Respond to calls and incidents across the map, either alone or as part of a team.
Police duties include checking drivers, issuing tickets, and pursuing or arresting suspects. Firefighters use hoses and other equipment to put out fires and free people from crashed vehicles, while EMS staff diagnose and treat injuries.
Each service has its own vehicles and equipment. In online co-op for up to 10 players, teammates can split between departments and work together on emergencies. The game also supports player-created mods, including vehicle liveries and uniforms.
Players who enjoy the game often value its emergency-service roles, the freedom to roleplay, and the fun of responding to calls with friends. Vehicle and emergency-light customization also earns praise. Recurring criticisms in the supplied reviews include bugs, poor performance, repetitive calls, and weak NPC behavior.
