Play Matchbox - Cross Town Heroes (U)(Venom) Online
Dodging traffic in a fire truck, barely making turns as buildings burn—every vehicle handles differently, and that ambulance fishtails like crazy when you floor it. Pure top-down chaos with that old-school toy car feel.
Matchbox: Cross Town Heroes was a 2004 Game Boy Advance release from developer DC Studios and publisher Global Star Software. It arrived during a period when the GBA library was diversifying, offering smaller, concept-driven games alongside bigger franchises. This one stood out simply for its premise: you drive toy vehicles through miniature diorama cities to put out fires, chase crooks, and handle other emergencies.
You control a selection of Matchbox brand emergency vehicles, each with unique handling; the ambulance slides around corners, while the fire truck plows forward with more weight. The objective is to complete missions across a series of isometric city grids, navigating tight streets, avoiding civilian cars, and reaching objectives before time runs out. Key mechanics include switching between vehicles mid-mission to use their specific tools (like the fire truck's water cannon) and managing a limited water supply that must be refilled at hydrants. The pace is frantic, and the physics demand careful throttle control to avoid spinning out or getting stuck. It feels like playing with toy cars in a elaborate, interactive playset where every second counts.
