Ubisoft has confirmed that the open world rescue driving game, Emergency Heroes, will be developed exclusively for Wii this summer.

In the game we'll get to drive a variety of emergency vehicles, including police cars and fire engines as we dash through the streets of San Alto saving its citizens.

There's no screeenshots as yet, but there is a short features list:

* Drive the next generation of rescue vehicles. Pilot and command numerous hi-tech rescue vehicles designed specifically for ultra-high-risk, high-speed navigation. Choose between police, fire and EMT vehicles.

* Explore and protect the entire city. As an emergency hero, your mission is to protect the peaceful city of San Alto. Drive through stunning free-roaming open environments, rescuing the city from imminent danger at every turn.

* Two Player Co-Op. Challenge your friends or combine forces to form the ultimate rescue hero team to protect your city.

* Fun for the whole family. Making full use of the Wii Remote™, everyone in the family can enjoy being an emergency hero.

* Fast-action gameplay. Take advantage of Hero Mode and play like you mean it – the faster you drive, the faster you rise and gain access to powers of invincibility.

Emergency Heroes will be released in May in North America. A European release has yet to be confirmed.
