CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
While we were impressed with this game's great graphics, issues with stability and missing in-game tutorials forced us to throw a bit of cold water on this firefighter adventure. As Fire Captain, you command a brigade of fire fighters, medics, and vehicles to contain fires and protect the city. We were impressed with the game's many features and game scenarios. There's quite an assortment of fires you'll face, from electrical fires to overwhelming infernos. Break doors, save victims: there are plenty of challenges for even the most seasoned adventure fan. Yet don't expect to download this game and start saving lives immediately. Even the beginning levels of Fire Captain are very challenging, and the lack of in-game help option is a serious drawback. We also were disappointed, given the level of difficulty, that there's no option to save a game; if you fail a mission, you'll have to start from the beginning. Great graphics and impressive detail make Fire Captain visually stimulating, yet it also slows down gameplay. Even when we adjusted the screen resolution to its lowest setting (and running a Pentium 4, with a Radeon 300 video card) we still experienced long lags and delays. Overall, if you're a fan of action and have the patience of a saint, Fire Captain might just light your fire.Publisher's description

Version: Fire Captain: Bay Area Inferno demo
Pros: The game has a cool intro.
Cons: The game takes for ever to load and I as well have a readon 9200 graphics card and am finding this game to stretch. I have uninstalled it and am hoping for an update to be listed by the publisher.

Version: Fire Captain: Bay Area Inferno demo
Pros: Sound and videos are good...
Cons: Loading time is slow. I have an ATI Radeon 9200, and the graphics are HORRIBLE on this game. I can run Half Life 2, but this game just doesn't work. I get the upper left corner in a square to work, but the rest of the screen is just stretched from that, so its on visible...I even set the graphics settings to the lowest and it still did that.
