PlayStation 2 Critic Reviews

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.

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.

Here's a classic case of a good game with a bad control scheme. [July 2002, p.83]

The overall gameplay in Fire Blade is most likely the games highest point, as it has a lot of depth and takes some time to fully master.

It’s not the deepest game you’ll find, but its oddly satisfying.

I enjoyed the control, graphics and missions designs but ultimately felt the game grew a bit repetitive.

Fireblade has some nice ideas, none of which are carried out with proficiency.

The controls are tight, but very involved, and the mission design doesn't do a good job of easing you into the myriad gameplay features.
