    The critics are harsh on this one, I picked up HF:A with the precision shot gun free, chucked it to a mate while I got on the sharp shooter and we had an awesome arvo smashing through it. Its a fun game that ran with no glitches in the 7 or so hours we played it. Best graphics I've seen in a rail shooter and is also a trophy hunters dream come true. A must buy for rail shooter fans!

Avoid HF:A if your looking for a deep story because that it does not have, however the intensity of battles is well created and the action is almost non-stop barring some beginning/end mission scenes that can be buttoned-thru. Sound effects are average but not distracting. Heavy Fire: Afghanistan is definately worth a crack and deserves a spot in the rail shooter section of any good video game collection. Expand

    It's fitting that the developers are called Mastiff, because this game looks like a dog's breakfast. Each mission is a waterlogged shamble through the land that time and PS2 forgot, where you'll have to re-kill the same six simpletons over and over. [February 2012, p.75]

    Your enjoyment of Heavy Fire: Afghanistan will be directly proportional to your expectations. There is absolutely nothing that is exceptional about it, which, in my opinion, is just fine as the cost mitigates the quality. It functions as it should, and as long as you don't walk in expecting Call of Duty, your feelings won't be hurt. Much.

    Heavy Fire: Afghanistan certainly isn't the best lightgun shooter on the PS3. This seems to do neither very well, and when saddled with decent graphics but mediocre sound, it becomes a less appealing game overall.
