Video Game Reviews of Tonka: Rescue Patrol
Customer Review: Kid-friendly...yes. Fun...not on your life!
Summary: 1 Stars
This game consists of six missions with each of six different vehicles for a total of...36 missions. You have a helicopter with which you either fly around and rescue people or capture animals. There is a fire truck that you use to put out fires and a police car that you can catch speeders with. There is also a dump truck, bulldozer and crane which all have you moving or transporting items around town.
I have played too many enjoyable, family-friendly games aimed at kids to actually give this title a good rating. Your, um, psychotic "helper" Tonka Joe decides that a training mode isn't enough to show your mentally-challenged kids how to work each vehicle. Instead, he is shown in the corner of the screen and he repeats the same three things through EVERY lousy mission in the game! He tells you to follow the big yellow arrow which shows you where to go (Duh!). He also tells you what the A and B buttons are for. I'm not kidding when I tell you that you will hear him say the same few things HUNDREDS of times throughout the game. FYI, the developers hate you and will not allow you to turn off his so-called helpful advice. Sorry.
If your child loves repetitious missions where you do the same thing over and over and over again then maybe this is the game for them. If they like someone telling them the same thing every ten seconds for hours on end then they should either get this game or be entered into therapy. I know I probably sound like a grouch but I'm only being honest here. The game lasts between two and three hours in total. There is NO multiplayer so hopefully they don't have any friends besides their Tonka truck. I'd recommend buying a Winnie The Pooh branded game over this toy-promoting snorefest.
