Fire Warrior One of those underrated games
User Rating: 7.6 | Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior PC
Now many people might never have heard or tried this game, it is a fun, new, and compelling game. Many say that the game is poor, with nothing of note, that it is a horrible game. I, personally, think otherwise. I have been into Warhammer 40,000 for years, though I haven't been as into the models due to a lack of spare cash, but I had never heard of a console or computer game of note. Then, one day, I was walking through the local movie-rental store and stumbled across Warhammer 40,000 Fire Warrior. Needless to say, I was intrigued and immediately rented it for the Play Station 2. As soon as I got home, I popped the game in, and was immediately hooked. Unfortunately, the rental went up, and the next time I went to get it, they had taken it off the shelf. I was crushed. I wont say that I am main-stream in my view of games, but this was one game that everyone who had played it had said was a great game. However, many people who did not know anything about the Warhammer 40,000 universe beforehand had hated it. They said the game's storyline, while engaging, was too drab and hard to follow. This leads me to my point. It seems to me that the game was underrated by those who did not understand the context of the game, and hence people who read reviews before buying or trying a game lost interest. I think that the reviews were unjust, and most definitely should be given a chance. Especially if you like Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War / Winter Assault / Dark Crusade. Fire Warrior was a brilliant game, and I feel it is underrated. Sorry bout the rambling quality of the review...
-On Another Note (The Reason)- What re-sparked my interest in this game, was Relic Entertainment's Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War RTS game. With the release, recently, of The Dark Crusade, you are able to play the Tau as a combatant race. What is even more interesting is that when you are playing as the Tau in the single-player campaign, you are Shas'O Kais, leader of the Tau forces on the planet Kronus. Now this might seem fairly mundane, and standard. Make a hero up from scratch for the game, and make a history. What most people missed, and was bugging me in the back of my mind, was that in Fire Warrior, you are Kais, before he was a general. It sorta piqued my interest and made me search for the game again
