Your mother must have always dreamed of seeing you in the position of a successful doctor. All those ER movies made you at some point regret that you hadn't listened to her. Sounds like you are the perfect player for ER Rush.

I-play has released a new game with an innovatory idea. Enough with the combat games and the Jump n'Run ones. ER Rush is all about facing problems in the emergency room of a hospital. And there's not time for slacking on the job. The game proves to be highly entertaining, especially when things get wild and the number of patients who need your services goes skyrocket.

The player has to diagnose, treat and discharge as many patients as possible. This will eventually result in a promotion, if done successfully. Moreover, he will have to work under the pressure of time, as it happens in real life too for most doctors. If a patient is not treated in time, complications arise and even more treatment will be needed for making him healthy again.

"ER Rush is casual gameplay at its best", said Leighton Webb, SVP of content strategy and licensing at I-play. Moreover, it "brings a truly unique twist on plate spinning games, by setting the gameplay in a busy Emergency Room, with an added pinch of wacky humor", he further added.

Indeed, you must have a special type of humor to enjoy this game, as it is soliciting in a way that most mobile games don't dare to approach. Moreover, players will have to face a wide range of unusual medical complications and strange patients, including werewolves, dogs and vampires.

ER Rush will be available for the North American public to purchase and enjoy sometime towards the third quarter of this year. No specifications on the price that it will come at have been made until now.
