I showed my copy of the original review to a friend. After he’d stopped laughing, I told him about this place. He’s probably here already. Watching. Waiting.

Many, many things were broken about Fire Warrior. I can’t give you an exact list because I didn’t get very far before quitting in disgust. (But bugwise, I dunno.)

I was rather horrified to discover that there were people who actually thought it was a good game.

I hadn’t heard it was that buggy actually. What was novelly broken about it?

It doesn’t compare to Soldner. It really couldn’t.

You cannot call an FPS “possibly one of the buggiest” unless you’ve played Fire Warrior.

Just… ouch.

i didn’t think sof3 was that bad… it actually had moments where i thought “damn, this looks really good” – the part with the uphill battle was pretty good imo.
of course it’s very different from the other sof titles but it’s actually the only sof game i finished.
however even the budged nature doesn’t justify the total lack of options (especially in the graphics department… only being able to change the resolution just isn’t enough).
the game ran like a dog on the x1950pro which i had until 4 weeks ago in 1280×800 (well, it was playable but not really smooth) and now with the 8800gts (g92) it ran smoother in 1920×1200 but still, very un-optimized game with a total lack of options… oh, i said that already…

@Babs:
you can turn while running… just not as much as while walking… sort of like running in gears of war but not even as bad…

It was probably taken mid-crash or something.

I’m not really sure how they managed to fuck this up. High art the other SoF games might not have been, but they were silly, B-game fun.

Having played some of this.. yeah. It’s just horrible.

I trust the screenshot wasn’t taken in-game, since there’s a mouse pointer hourglass visible on it?

Or is it really that buggy? =P

It’s Boiling Point 2 then, essentially? Just without the ridiculous “it’s brilliant / it’s complete arse” flip-floppery that Eurogamer engaged in last time around.

You seriously can’t turn while running?

I’d think that would be major disadvantage when fighting terrorism.
