Since this is built on top of Emergency 5, I would hoped that it could hold its own against Emergency 4. Not only are you unable to queue command ("Take a hose and assume position there"), but you have to wait out all those animations to complete (like the doctor exiting his vehicle, running to the back and grabbing his bag) before you can even make your first order. Still you need two separate vehicles and a clickfest for the even the simplest of BLS ambulance transport. You cannot have police cars on patrol. You cannot target a suspect from a police car for an automatic takedown at gunpoint. You cannot put two officers on a person in order to overcome him. The unruly civilians will auto attack you, but your officers will not respond to standing next to suspects or even suspects fghting an officer. Crowd control is very hard and micromanagement intensive. I bought the game when it was completely new. I see it has improved some. The suspect cannot run forever anymore. I saw none of your team members or vehicles getting stuck.
