  1. The kind of combat title gamers will find hard to put down and, while it suffers from a number of imperfections, the missions are far too engaging to care about the little things.

    A little too short for wartime veterans, and possibly too complicated for Joe Average.
  3. The game's use of first-person shooting sequences and other unusual gameplay elements, such as the helicopter's cloaking device, makes Fire Blade an interesting and involving game to play.

    On the right track...but in the end just comes up short...Fireblade misses the mark when it comes to graphics with dull textures, dull colors, and dull environments.

    POSITIVE POINT: Great and well-done scenario destruction, fast, simple and objective missions, well-attributed aim assistance, a shot atPOSITIVE POINT: Great and well-done scenario destruction, fast, simple and objective missions, well-attributed aim assistance, a shot at living beings leaves blood and there's mutilation with limbs being severed, destruction of everything is well crafted!
    NEGATIVE POINT: Ugly graphics, high difficulty simply because the scenarios are full of enemies and everyone shoots at you at the same time! and to make matters worse there is no infinite life code
