Best Real Heroes: Firefighter - Nintendo Wii Deals

Customer Ratings:

My personal experiences in firefighting, and now lack of a volunteer department close by these days, has led me to purchase this game. I found the flames to react well, the hose reacts well and puts out the fire about the way a real hose would. Using the saw was a bit clunky and tempermental. You have to hit the screen just right to make the cut the way the game wants a surface cut. The jaws were kind of cool in that you have to twist them just like in real life to get the right entry point on say like a car door hinge. I started the game with the tutorial just so i could get used to the controls, but in no time i was knocking back flames. After the tutorial, you get thrust right into a commercial fire, so hang on. One other slight drawback is that in each mission, you find yourself being thrust to do many different jobs, very unlike what a big paid department would be like. For example, after putting out a fire, you get called to do some search and rescue for survivors, then off to hit the deck gun on an engine outside, then working off a ladder truck, then back to fighting a fire in an adjacent building, etc... You will find yourself alone in burning parts of a building without much of a team in a few instances as well. Very much against what you are taught as a firefighter.

But still, all-in-all, this is a fun game and still gets my heart pumping when i see the flames crawling across the ceiling fixing to eat you alive!! I fully understand what the company set out to do in the game, and they did it very well when you consider there have been very few if any games like this ever produced to learn from. Hopefully we will see Firefighter 2 with some new stuff (fireboats, RIT teams, squad based control and interaction (think SOCOM), and maybe even promotion to higher levels to allow full command of all the units on a scene). Maybe i am too hopeful, but it could happen....

It's a game anybody can enjoy, great for kids who always wanted to be a firefighter, teaches the tools. Its great, You save lives but at the same time FUN. Its intense and lots of action, great also for the any gamer because there's difficulty that makes it more challenging. Also a portion of the sales goes to a charity. You're having fun and helping your community at the same time, such a great deal, very rare for games nowadays.

So far, I can say the fires behave similar to reality. I'm sure some will contradict that statement, but hey... it's a video game. If you place the water in the right spots and follow patterns we are trained to use, it is actually quite effective. When my young daughter pried the Wii remote from my hand, I saw how much more difficulty... she had putting fires out being untrained. I coached her briefly and she improved significantly.

I can see where this game could be used as another training tool for departments looking for a safe way to show rookies different techniques. Now I have to see if I can talk my chief into getting a Wii for the firehouse.
