In most shooters, players blast the enemy with bombs that start fires. But in a twist, players in Real Heroes: Firefigher have to put out blazes caused by something (not likely a bomb.)
This is a shooter where you are a firefigher and it’s your task to put out certain fires, lead people to safety, carry people/animals to safety and break down doors and other barriers.
There are eight chapters in this game, and most players will get through it in about four to six hours. Problem is, after going through the game the first time, I have no reason to give this game a second go.
Another problem with Firefighter is that there isn’t much variety in the tasks you have to perform. You put out some fires, rescue people/animals, hit switches, and bust through some barriers. And you repeat the process in the next level, and the level after that.
The level design here doesn’t help; in the Museum stage has me going from one exhibit room to the next and putting out the fire in that exhibit room. Also, I feel like I’m being herded from point A to point B; there’s invisible walls, fires I can’t put out, and doors I can’t bust through - even when I should be able to.
Real Heroes: Firefighter is a unique look at a shooter, but it needs more creativity in the level design and gameplay. RENT IT
