This game is the worst thing to come out for the XBOX console.

The coolest thing about this title is the name, it's all downhill after that.

This would have been a cool game for first generation PSx, but the gameplay, graphics, control, sound, objectives, weapons, etc... are all way below XBOX caliber.

When this game turned up missing after my XBOX and games were borrowed I was actually relieved I didn't have to throw it away myself. Worst game EVER!!!

played mission where you have to blow up a whole bunch of boats and barges going down a river in a certian amount of time. I've tried aleast 75 to 100 times and can't get any further. When are they going to program in by-pass capability so when your stuck at least you can move on, finish the game and get your moneies worth of play from it.

Well I don't know why it's not released here on amazon.com until January, I just picked it up at gamestop a few days ago for $... brand new and I've been playing it. So far it's pretty cool, nice graphics and detail on the Helo itself, but the everionments such as mountain terrain, etc are medium quality.

The controls are easy to figure out, and it doesn't take long to figure out how to use the weapons of which there is a nice assortment with cool effects for some of them.

The sound is good for the helo and for the explosions, vehicle sounds, voice overs, etc.

I'm only on the 4th mission so I can't really comment any further, since I haven't quite experienced everything yet. I'm not sure why it was only $... at Gamestop? Maybe because it's only single player as I don't recall that it has mutiplayer funtionality.

Bottom line, before you buy FireBlade, either read reviews of it at ign.com or gamespot.com, or rent it. If the regular price is going to be $..., then it's worth the money, but I wouldn't pay any more than that.
