Video game development firm Codemasters announced today that a title currently in development, titled Emergency Mayhem, will be released in the second quarters of 2008 on the Wii home video game console. In Emegency Mayhem players will be placed in charge of several different emergency services that the player will have to use to their utmost effect to contain the trouble running rampant in Crisis City. The game will also feature runamuck driving sequences that will be combined with arcade style mini games.

Players of Emergency Mayhem will have to coordinate and control puzzled parademics, confused coppers, and frantic firemen as they rush all over town in thirty different missions that range from defusing explosives to rescuing people from burning buildings. It’s all in good fun, however, as the content in each missions will have a decidedly madcap value to them. As you play you’ll find yourself bombarding monkeys with bananas, placing a trampoline in the proper place to deter a prisoner escape, and bringing penguins to safety because penguins are important too.
