Game Informer Review

Wow, last month I reviewed a weird lowrider car-dancing game, this month it's fire fighting. Hmmm…look forward to next issue for my write-up on Super Bocce Ball 4. As a fire fighting game, this doesn't match the style of Sega's old arcade cabinet, Brave Firefighters, which actually featured two awesome hose controllers. Without this novelty factor, the concept becomes a slow slog through dark and dreary levels filled with fire, survivors, and flame-retardant foam. Seriously, this is essentially the world's slowest third-person shooter with hoses instead of rifles. Unless Backdraft is your favorite film and the Men of the New York Fire Department calendar is on your cubicle wall [cough, Reiner, cough], you should probably take a pass on Firefighter F.D. 18.

This review is from: Firefighter F.D.18 (Video Game)

As a gamer who really enjoys story driven games such as Resident Evil, Clock Tower 3, Silent Hill 1-4, Fatal Frame 1&2, and Kuon, I really enjoy F.D 18 alot. F.D. 18 seems to use the engine used to make Resident Evil games. Graphics are very simalar to the games listed in the title of this review.
Only instead of shooting it out with zoombies or battaling ghost or monsters you fight fires.
You start out rescuing people in a tunnel. You use a fire hose with 2 diffarent spray nozels and a axe. There is no rushing or running in this game. Explosions will happen at any time and the flames will consume you. Rooms enclosed will be smoked filled and hard to see in.
The game is really fun to play and like I mentioned before, it plays alot like other surrvior horror games.
I'm not sure if I would pay the inflated cost here on Amazon, but if you come across this game at a game store or anywhere eles, it'll be alot cheaper and a definate buy you'll be very happy with. I intend to keep this game for a very long time.

This review is from: Firefighter F.D.18 (Video Game)

when i first saw it i thought it was 1 of those rescue heroe crap games, but i took a closer look at it cause it was teen. trust me this is not a little kids game. it is pretty realistic with a mistake though. when computers and plants are on fire, if you hose them down, theres no mark that it was on fire. BUT this doesnt affect the gameplay so dont hesitate to buy. its also really fun, when i first tried it i was like ooooook, but now that i played it more its very well done. stunning graphics also. some of thoses "firefighter reviews" say to get this game only if your into firefighting, all i know is before i wasnt, now i am. now, the whole point of the game is search and rescue. save the trapped, they even have there own health bar. the first missions make it seem like its short and easy but now that im far, its neather. BUY IT

this game is pretty good except for the long levels and that you cant save in the middle of a level.
