The game offers a nostalgic and realistic feeling with detailed graphics and a variety of unique and challenging missions.
It requires significant strategic thinking and brain usage, providing a fun and rewarding experience for fans of the series.
The large campaign with diverse tasks involving different emergency units adds depth and complexity compared to later games.

The game's story features a large variety of unique and complex missions that provide an engaging and diverse experience, but lacks clear mission briefings, task lists, and critical narrative information, making objectives difficult to understand and sometimes frustrating. While the missions themselves are creative and multifaceted, poor communication and occasional technical issues detract from the overall storytelling and gameplay flow.
- “I really liked most of the 25 missions and how they were not just extinguish fires, take injured to the hospital and arrest criminals, but also involved a wide variety of miscellaneous and unique tasks the emergency units had to perform to ultimately complete the operation and prevent failure.”
- “I liked the police missions in this game, like negotiating with a suicidal elite soldier, sending SWAT units behind an armored tank to arrest a coup general, and the mission where you send in a SWAT team to infiltrate an enemy spy network to retrieve a satellite.”
- “I also liked the missions where a lot of tasks had to be completed, like the nuclear submarine mission or the reactor mission where you had to send in NBC firefighters to completely disable a nuclear reactor in the submarine, send in an officer to the consulate for missile codes, or block traffic on the highway to prevent contamination from leaking radiation.”
- “Critical information seems to be muted or missing completely (the dialogue of a hostage taker and the psychologist, or other NPCs that are essential for a mission. No sound and the text window is empty), which makes the game unplayable.”
- “My only issues are that actually solving these missions in the first place and finding out the tasks to be completed are hard, because there's no task list and no proper explanation as to why the mission failed in the first place, which was fixed from Emergency 3 onwards.”
- “There's like no mission briefings, you need to figure out all by yourself.”

The gameplay is noted for its nostalgic, realistic feel and unique mechanics across a sizable 25-mission campaign, contrasting with smaller, simplified campaigns in later games. However, some missions are hindered by unclear or poorly explained mechanics, and technical issues like save file deletion frustrate players. Additionally, some find the gameplay static and lacking sensibility compared to other titles.
- “The graphics, details and the overall gameplay have some sort of nostalgic and realistic feeling that struggles to be replicated in the later games, despite being old.”
- “There are 25 missions, while the later games gradually reduced the size of the campaign, and a lot of the game mechanics and objectives are unique for this game, due to its size and the fact that old games were just harder and different compared to the newer ones.”
- “The game keeps deleting the save file when restarting the game and some missions are barely playable because it has some odd game mechanics without explaining them or just lightly hinting at them.”
- “The game keeps deleting the save file when restarting and some missions are barely playable due to odd game mechanics that are not well explained or only hinted at.”
- “The gameplay for Emergency 2 is all too static and often senseless.”
- “There are 25 missions, while later games reduced the size of the campaign; many game mechanics and objectives are unique due to its size and the fact that older games were harder and different compared to newer ones.”
