Graphics are very good, very colorful and balanced. Overall, the game plays like the previous game series, just the story line has changed. It does have 1 new feature, some levels have drones to get.

Mood music variations were OK for some half the game.

Graphics are very good, very colorful and balanced. Overall, the game plays like the previous game series, just the story line has changed. It does have 1 new feature, some levels have drones to get.

Mood music variations were OK for some half the game.

You have boxes in the bonus game levels to find, mostly easy to see, some are hidden. After each level completion you get stars to purchase bonuses in untimed and timed mode. If you go from untimed to timed, you have to start over with the bonuses and boxes. I didn't play in hard mode, but in easy timed mode, I was able to complete all levels

If you successfully find everything you get award stickers and some museum items and other extra errata. Show less

I recommend this game!

Rescue Team has always been one of my Time Management favorites, but lately, these games have been frustratingly difficult. I just now got around to playing Heist of the Century and found it to be much more enjoyable and easier to earn Gold. This is a Goldilocks kind of game, not too hard, not too soft, it fits right in the middle sweet spot! With that being said, you will still have to queue tasks in a specific order, if you don't, the chances are extremely high that you'll become hopelessly stuck and unable to gather the correct resources to continue and you'll have to replay the level! I highly recommend the CE version because you will definitely want the Strategy Guide!

You can play in a Relaxed Untimed Mode, an Easy Mode that gives you more time, or an expert Hard Mode of difficulty. When you earn all 3 Stars, you will receive 3 Gold Coins to purchase Bonuses in the Shop in 4 different categories:

Swift As The Wind
-Boots: speeds up workers
-Helmet: speeds up construction
-Vest: speeds up cleaning and debris removal
-Gloves: speeds up the flame thrower
First Aid
-Heater: slows down freezing
-Fire Extinguisher: slows the spread of fire
-First Aid Kit: speeds the Dolphin rescue
-Turbo Pump: speeds water purification
Turbo
-Speedometer: speeds up machinery
-Flashing Light: speeds up all first responders
-Collar: speeds up the dog search & rescue
-Protective Mask: speeds up the biologist
911
-Hose: speeds fire suppression
-Handcuffs: speeds in the arrest of marauders
-Stethoscope: speeds healing
-Sprayer: speeds chemical processing

Unlike most TM games, Rescue Team games are unique because you aren't following a path for the sole purpose of gathering resources The goal is to rescue citizens after a natural or man-made disaster so each type of rescue is unique and usually calls for a series of steps to complete the level goals. For example, you may have to Rebuild a Lab for Dr. Ross to deploy Rescue Bots to repair Warning Systems, after acquiring Energy Capsules. In the next level, you may have to repair Stores before being able to purchase First Aid Kits for trapped citizens, or repair Garages to access ATVs to rescue people who are trapped in pits! My favorite rescuers are Larry & Barry, two adorable Saint Bernards!

People aren't the only ones that need to be rescued, you will be tasked with rescuing cats, dogs, and other trapped or endangered animals too, which always gives this game the awe factor ;) The developers cram lots of different equipment into each level, depending on the terrain, such as cranes, boats, lifts, helicopters, generators, etc.. they even have trained rescue dolphins so there's never a dull moment!

You will be tasked with repairing houses to earn rent money, Sawmills to provide lumber, Burger Joints for food, Stores for purchasing supplies, Hospitals to provide doctors, pet facilities, Gas Stations, and Garages. Paths need to be cleared of sand, boulders, fallen trees, and various other debris kicked up by storms, hurricanes, and tornadoes, as well as repairing cracks, powerlines, and bridges. Bonus Chips can be collected on most levels to temporarily boost the speed of rescuers, boost equipment capabilities or increase production. I love that the Bonus Chips make a little jingle noise when they become available each time.

The CE version has 50 Main Levels, 15 Bonus Levels, 7 Encyclopedias, 34 Stickers to collect, 16 Character Bios, 8 Concept Art Sketches, 13 Music Soundtracks, 54 Achievements, and a Walkthrough Strategy Guide.
