    The kind of combat title gamers will find hard to put down and, while it suffers from a number of imperfections, the missions are far too engaging to care about the little things.
  2. GameSpot

    The game's use of first-person shooting sequences and other unusual gameplay elements, such as the helicopter's cloaking device, makes Fire Blade an interesting and involving game to play.

    Here's a classic case of a good game with a bad control scheme. [July 2002, p.83]

    Despite these quibbles, we can't seem to stop playing FireBlade - check it out. [August 2002, p.22]

    I still find Fireblade to be oddly mixed in delivery, throwing some slickly designed, easy to navigate menus at you, then spitting out redundant mission briefings before and during the levels.

    Delivers with easy to grasp flight controls, compelling mission ops, and most importantly, the proper balance between available weapons and tactics for the not so friendly skies and road ahead. [Aug 2002, p.70]

    It's like every other mission-based helicopter shooter, except that it lacks a personality. Fireblade? Firebland.

    If you're a fan of chopper games like camanche then you'll enjoy this game.
