Rescue Team: Attack of the Atom

[b]Note:[/b] A totally awesome friend gifted me a copy of this game. ^^ [h1]It's up to the rescue team to save the day. :o[/h1] [h2]Introduction[/h2] [i]Rescue Team: Attack of the Atom[/i] is a time management game developed by Game Mixer and published by Alawar Casual. I believe it is the 19th game in the [i]Rescue Team[/i] series, so yup, there have definitely been a lot. :o Anyway, disaster has struck the world once again, and the cause is faulty nuclear power plants. It's up to the rescue team to stop these calamities and along the way, perhaps the crew will be able to come up with a safe, alternative energy source. With the gameplay, it's mainly the same as in the previous games in the series. You can choose from among the usual three difficulty levels. (For review purposes, I played on easy/normal mode.) There are 50 levels in the main game as well as an additional 15 levels in the bonus story sequel. In each level, you're given a number of tasks, such as helping injured civilians or repairing power lines, and depending on how quickly you complete all the tasks, can earn up to 3 stars.

Another relaxing and enjoyable installment in the Rescue Team series! This title will give you more of what you love from Rescue Team.

Cons: - At the beginning of some levels, there seems to be a specific sequence in which to collect items and build. If you don't follow the order, it can make the level unwinnable. For example, fixing the transformer to stop the power lines, which the game points out you need to do, before you build the burger joint for food income, can leave you without enough food to unlock any other area of the map. You have to restart the level and try another order of collections and builds. That's not fun to me. - There is no advanced notice of what type of item you need in bulk at the end of the level. I forget the exact details, but the final straw for me was when I was nearing the end of the level (I had completed all the required tasks, hired someone to fix something else to get the pass key to enter the …

Classic rescue team. Def enjoyable :) Just don't pay heed to how many hours it says I've played, I'm notorious for forgetting to close the game when I walk away from the computer, lol!
