Fireburst

A mediocre combat racer with interesting tracks, Fireburst fails to make an impact much beyond the cringe-worthy stereotypes of its characters. Emphasis on cringe here, the game really feels like a product of its time back before including things like angry little people would get your game erased from the store. Single player features quick race, custom race, and the (much too difficult IMO) campaign containing character-based goals which unlock more vehicles and skins. Multiplayer although present basically doesn't work as it still contains a bug from release which prohibits AI from filling empty player slots. Vehicles handle sloppily, not helped by the camera leaning out of corners you're taking just to add a bit of confusion to the mix. AI is either Sunday Driver slow or crazy accurate with both its race lines and attack methods. The soundtrack's pretty poor with generic rock but the banter between the AI players is equal parts amusing and shocking the first few times it plays. Despite Fireburst taking under four hours to complete I just can't see the point in recommending it. It looks decent but is generic as heck in terms of actual content.

На первый взгляд привлекательные и драйвовые гонки на выживание оказались пустой и бесцветной игрой. Я вообще первый раз сталкиваюсь с игрой, которая не дает тебе контента. Геймплей тут очень прост. У нас есть бесконечное количество нитро и мы можем ускоряться в любое время, вот только машина быстро перегревается и ее надо остужать. Для этого по карте разбросаны бочки с водой, разлиты лужи, а иногда еще и целые потоки из труб выливаются. Ну а если мы превысим температурный порог, то просто взорвемся. Но наш перегрев это одновременно еще и наше оружие. Мы можем оставлять за собой огненный шлейф, который будет влиять на температуру преследующих нас соперников. По сути тут только два вида развлечения - выполнять душные челленджи, чтобы разблокировать машины и персонажей или просто по-тупому кататься с ботами. Онлайн тут мертвый, поэтому третьего выбора не дано. Вот вроде все есть у этой игры. И хорошее управление машиной, и неплохие трассы, даже картинка с музыкой порадовали, но почему разрабы поленились добавить хотя бы какую-нибудь сюжетную кампанию? Реиграбельность у игры просто отсутствует, пустая начинка только еще больше расстраивает. Так как у игры банально нет контента, то тут даже с друзьями делать нечего. Очень жаль, мне понравился сеттинг, но отсутствие контента все портит.

Я мог бы ещё раз и ещё раз пройти Split/Second чем вот эти помои... хорошо что дали бесплатно а не за деньги купил.

Un arcade muy bueno en todos sus aspectos, buena musica , mejor jugabilidad y un desafío sacar todos los logros

Probably , the shortest ever racing game I have played which I still loved. Although, no racing game is short or long, because the in-game menu style is as simple as quick race mode and challenge mode giving you not much variety and motivation to play it for longer once you fully exhaust every race type, every map, every environment, track and challenges. But I fell in love with this cute game. The game comes with 7-8 different maps including ports, off-roads, mountains, docks, air fields and the style and art of is simply mesmerizing to eyes. Racing style of the game is as smooth as any other racing game and handling is quite easy with no extraneous efforts involved. Just use arrow keys and boost button and you are good to go, if you have played any grand theft auto car, you know what I mean. The game involves smashing and wrecking and rampaging the other players allowing you creative freedom to do whatever you want to do to win the race. You press boost for long and the car explodes, you use boost and creates a fire wheel or fire field sort of thing , making other players vulnerable to gushing explosion anyone found to be within your fire field. Roadrash style Some maps are difficult to tackle than the others. The game comes with a soul-touching and heart pounding songs, I am certainly going download this soundtrack album for my long-drives drive out or even short drive but trust me, the songs played in the game deserves pulitzer award . Its just brilliant.

[h1]Overview[/h1] [list] [*]Off-road racing in unorthodox places like a railway depot, harbor warehouse and aircraft scrapyard. [*]Fiery boosters push you ahead while leaving opponents behind bursting into flames. [*]9 total achievements, doable with little to no grind — perfect game alert! [/list] [h1]Gameplay ★★★★★[/h1] [list] [*]Fireburst combines speed boosts and vehicular combat into a simple and elegant concept. When a car's boosters are ignited, flames are expelled and will scorch opponents who are nearby. [*]The manner in which such an attack is executed depends on the type of car being driven. There are 4 types of boosters — Firewheels (trail of flames), Firewall (wings of flames), Fireblast (expanding ring of flames charged-up to explode), and Fireball (enveloping flame shield). [*]The game uses a heat meter to regulate speed boosts and attacks. If you are on the receiving end of a flame attack, your heat meter goes up too. When it reaches the limit, your car explodes. [*]The car will slowly cooldown if the booster isn't used for a while, and if you drive into water barrels or wet surfaces, the heat goes down very quickly. This is where the fun is at. There are maps with vast swathes of water, such as rivers, beaches and waterfalls and it is *so fun* to have infinite boost on wide open land. The freedom and thrill just puts anyone into a good mood right away! [*]There are 8 character challenges with 5 missions each. The missions are fairly creative, e.g. an overheating car requiring constant cooling, distance travel limit to finish a lap, a sabotaged car with controls reversed, to name a few. [*]Sadly, you cannot stick to a car of your choice and upgrade it for different missions as you see fit. Each mission has its predetermined map and car. [/list] [h1]Art & Graphics ★★★☆☆[/h1] [list] [*]Underdelivered UE3 graphics; looks like Source Engine 1 sometimes. The game pre-setting high contrast and saturation thankfully does make the graphics look crisper, vibrant, and more bearable for the eyes. [*]Low effort vegetation, grunge texture overload. The only textures that look decent are the tarmac, gravel and mountainsides, and only 1 map (Salt Lake) happens to have all of them. [*]The things that make it undoubtedly UE3 and not Source 1 are the beautiful lighting and particles. God rays peek out from rooftops as you turn the corner. Water splashes from the tyres of a car skidding across a wet surface. Droplets of water squirt onto the camera screen and distort your vision. Driving into an oil barrel erupts it into flames that burst toward the screen and disperse into smoke. The visual effects are where I see most of the effort went into. [/list] [h1]Music & Sounds ★★★★★[/h1] [list] [*]The biggest surprise from this game is that its soundtrack features a collection of wholly-sung rock songs. Yes, real bands singing and jamming to your racing! [*]Alt rock from the mid 2000s is the underlying style of music, which is totally up my alley. You can press F8 to skip a song and play the next (similar) one. [*]The AI drivers like to repeatedly taunt each other and it gets really annoying. I recommend muting taunts in the audio settings for a saner driving experience. [/list] [h1]Plot & Characters ★☆☆☆☆[/h1] [list] [*]Absolutely nothing. A plot may not be necessary because it takes place in a seemingly normal world, but characters are really lacking. Aside from their caricature-style portraits and in-race taunts, we know next to nothing about them. [*]8 of them have their own challenge missions, which would typically be where bios appear, but alas we get none of these either. They don't even have their own cars. They drive whichever car that is tied to each mission. [/list] [h1]Controls & Interface ★★★★☆[/h1] [list] [*]Very simple controls — WASD to move, Spacebar for handbrake, B for looking behind you, and your choice of Left Shift/Alt/Ctrl for boost. There are other miscellaneous actions but these 4 are the primary ones you will ever need. [*]There is no remapping of controls, despite the game claiming that you can modify them in the .ini file, it doesn't work. The fortunate thing is that the preset bindings have several alternatives per action. [*]Annoying launcher opens every time the game starts. It is meant for first time setup of graphics and audio settings, but it never goes away on subsequent sessions. [*]Beyond the launcher, starting a quick race is as simple as keeping on pressing the Enter key to navigate through the intro sequences and main menu with ease. [/list] [h1]Verdict [/h1] [quote]Fireburst is an easy to pick-up racing battler with a unique boost-attack mechanic that comes off as simple, elegant, and makes a lot of sense. Its wide area maps offer a lot of freedom for long duration speeding, and paired with its soundtrack of real rock songs, feels like an exciting road trip.[/quote] [b][/b]

I am really enjoying Fireburst! The controls on gamepad work great. The music is once again a mix of metal and punk, perfect for the genre. I had Fireburst running in ultra graphics and it looked really good. I did have a few problems when restarting a race, with the colors loading in. Hitting pause and then resume seemed to fix that instantly. The voice acting was great. The drivers are talking smack back and forth the entire race and the lines are funny as heck. The stereo typing is kind of hilarious if you pick up on it. I will leave those for you to discover and I won't quote them here. The outright boomer bashing is even better "You smell like my Grandpa" and "you are worse than my Dad" Followed by a flat out "yu suk". It makes it really fun to play with family. If not split screen on the couch with the kids. Yes split screen clearly says 1vs1 and that is not uncommon for games from this time. The challenges is where you will get most of your value out of this one if you are solo. They are fun and unique. Completing challenges unlocks new content. +Rep for no DLC, play to play more is a model you don't see anymore. Other than that, Firebust has not aged a day. It is really hard to tell if this game was released in 2010 or 2020. A firey twist to the demolition genre. If you are wanting some crash game action on a budget. I definitely recommend this game. The kids wont be able to tell the difference between this and a triple A demolition game. And Neither will you. If you want to play multiplayer just add me.

Lacks polish but you can tell it was made with SOVL. The overheat/cooling mechanics are surprisingly neato.
