ow, 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.
