I saw previews at this game and thought a fire fightning game that looks interesting so I thought I would check it out. I rented this game and it was not the best but not the worst. The missions can get very frustrating when you get farther because you have a time limit to save people. I thought this game deserved 3 stars because of the difficulty setting and the repitive lines the characters said during the game so if you play this a while and mute the game you will probably then enjouy it.
My friend who is a firefighter loved this game though and said it deserved 5 stars but thats probably only because hes a firefighter but if you are a ff then go out and buy it otherwise just rent it first.

Firefighter is great

Firefighter F.D.18 is a great game!THe game has easy controls and great sound and graphics. I would have say that the characters do say a little bitsy of bad lauguage in the game. Some levels are hard and some are easy. But for some people who think search and rescue stuff is boring, than this is not your game.

When I first heard about there being a game solely about firefighting, more specifically Search and Rescue and First Attack Firefighting, I was ecstatic. Being an avid gamer and a firefighter, I was happy that there was finally a game like this. Currently we, unfortunately, are lacking firefighting games. But this game makes it all better. The graphics are great, and the gameplay is excellent. The game can get quite tough at some times, and I have noticed that those around me who do not do it in real life have a really, really hard time understanding the concepts. I have read many reviews by gamers who say that the game is too hard. All I can say to them is, "were we supposed to make it easy?" The real task is not easy at all, and the toughness of the game only adds to its realism.

All in all, however, I think this game is a great piece of work by our friends at Konami. They have always been known for some high caliber games, especially on the PlayStation 2. Firefighter F.D. 18 is no different. So if you're into firefighting, or if you just want to get a taste of what it is like, then this game is probably for you. Just don't forget to pick up a copy of Backdraft on DVD.

don't waste your time

this is by far one of the stupidest games i have ever played. I do fire/rescue in real life and this game is in no way accurate. I didn't expect a 100% accurate depication of firefighting, but the creators of this game should have consulted someone that at least understands fire behavior and fire suppresion theories. after about the 4th stage of spraying water on fire and rescuing people i was bored. they should have incorporated other tasks into this crap game.

GREAT

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

a joke

this game in no way depicts real life firefighting. First when you have no ventilation visibilty is limited. Not in the game there was fire and no smoke or very little. which is the first problem. Provide a way to ventilate. Second dont put little spots of fire here and there make it like it is in real life, 2 or 3 rooms going good. i cant remember ever going into a fire where my hose just seem to go right along without running into problems. You,ve got to make the game challenging, like it really is. Oh yea i love the infinite air supply in the bottles. C'MON yall you can do better than that. And you dont always burn when you touch fire in full protective clothing. So that was wrong to. Hey we could go on and on about the problems with this game the bottom line is if your going to produce a firefighiting game do it right dont just throw together some half hearted game go all out and make a firefighting game that will really give your customers a CHALLENGE and the real concept of what its like to fight fire.

Yeah, Right!

This game sucks ya'all. DON'T BUY IT. Unless you're about 5-10 years old this game is cake. The fires suck, and so does the challenge. I do fire rescue in the real world, this game is nothing like in any way. Bad game!

this is a great game

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

I havent played this game yet but i think it looks good. All you REAL LIFE firefighters...get a clue..im a rookie firefighter(Junior firefighter) but seriously...that dude with the smoke and ventalation...Serously if they put all that detail in the game it would lag like a son of a b!tch. Besides that the people that made it are game programers not the FDNY ....give them a break..there only human...you people think you can do better then go to the company and b!tch to them..not on here...
