    Raises the bar as to what can be expected from an educational title, but offers little in the realm of entertainment.

    It's not quite as interesting as it could be. It feels more instructional than anything else, whereas "Emergency Fire Response" was populated by optional sub-missions, varied scenarios, and many different types of units, allowing for all kinds of strategic subtlety.

    While you need to babysit your smoke-jumpers a wee-bit too much, the topic is interesting enough to make this more than just a curiosity. [Jan 2005, p.79]

    The game does a fine job of getting across the unpredictability and speed of wildfires, but it lacks any larger strategic elements and buckles under the weight of major control and camera issues.
  5. Game Chronicles
    58
    The title is too instructional, too focused on fire “realism” to be fun.

    Unfortunately, the gameplay grows stale real quick, and any joyful fantasies about dropping smoke-jumping firefighters into an inferno are quickly put to rest. [Jan 2005, p.75]
