    Fire Blade does not have an engrossing plot, pre-rendered cinematics or a popular license. What it does have is an assload of rock solid gameplay, and an impressive game engine to boot.

    A little too short for wartime veterans, and possibly too complicated for Joe Average, this arcade war-simulation probably won't attract a huge audience.

    This one defines the word "suck". Take some of the weakest graphics I've seen on the XBox and couple it with shoddy gameplay, and you have this atrocity. The only reason it gets a 1 is because its the only chopper sim for the XBox. This one is definitely a pass.… Expand
