It's "GTA for kids" from Codemasters

New shots and trailer from Codies' fast and bizarre mini-game fest, Emergency Mayhem
Bizarrely, more than seven months after details and shots appeared in magazine previews, Codemasters has decided to re-announce its Crazy Taxi-style mini-game fest Emergancy Mayhem for Wii.

Emergency Mayhem was first spotted in early 2004 but, following the demise of original publisher Acclaim, it's taken until now for a completely reworked version, running on a new engine and published by Codemasters, to appear.

The Wii version's sporting re-worked controls which are apparently better suited to game's fast and bizarre mini-game format.

Check out the new trailer and screenshots and for more, cast your eyes on this preview that we posted back in March.

Cry much??

The sad thing is, even proper games are turning into a combination of different mini games. Give us some proper games!!

I can see this getting banned because it influences reckless driving in young people.

I've been boycotting Codemasters games for a while now, but mainly just because they've been s**t. And I think my collection is pretty safe from this one too.

I grew up with the Codies. Seeing them release pants like this makes me sad. Miami Chase, Pro ATV sim, Pro Mountain Bike Sim and especially Dizzy were all awesome back in the day.
And now this. WTF went wrong?

Bring back Dizzy! It was a fantastic franchise that would work amazingly well as a 3D platformer-RPG hybrid. It might even rival Mario in the cuteness stakes. I want it!

The textures look a bit crap surely the Wii can do a lot better than that.

I'd take GTA over that. Looks crap.
