Midway Fireblade X Box Simulation Review

Overall Rating
 3 of 5

Price Paid:  $20.00 from EB Games

Summary:
This game had potential, because as the previous reviewer stated, it is just like the 16 bit strike series. I loved Nuclear strike and the graphics and look of this game haven't changed that much since the 16 bit days which is said for an x-box game. It takes awhile to get used to manuevering the helicopter, but once you do its a breeze. The problem with this game is that your targets, tanks, people,apc's are so small that you practically have to swoop down on top of them to hit them. You can use sniper mode but then you can't control your helicopter defensively, so while you can see and hit your targets better, they can also see and hit you better and you can't react until you here the pinging off your hull and then disengage the sniper mode and limp away.

Summary:
This game should have been a sleeper hit. When I picked it up, I'd never even heard of it... judging by the fact that this the first review on this site, no one else has either. If this type of game interests you in the slightest, you owe it to yourself at least a rental.

Hell, it's $20. Buy it and add it to your collection, you get your moneys worth after a couple of hours.. I'm willing to bet you'll be playing it longer.
