 Review - Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior // PlayStation 2 /// Eurogamer
This does of course mean war, and you as a fledgling Tau Fire Warrior are quickly drafted in to aid in the effort and resist the oppressive Imperial grip.
Fire Warrior's production values are all over the place, with some fabulous FMV getting my hopes up high, only to come crashing down again an hour into the game when I get hooked on the scenery, unable to move again until I restarted from the last checkpoint.
Fire Warrior doesn't last particularly long either, with only a couple of days' worth of casual play in it assuming you can be bothered to even play for that long.

 Action Vault - Fire Warrior Interview, Part 2
In development for the PC and PlayStation 2 platforms, Fire Warrior is British developer Kuju Entertainment's title based on this property.
Fire Warrior is a fast-paced action shooter, but we have included stealth in the game - sometimes overtly, with levels that you must use some stealth to complete, and the rest of the time by the inclusion of stealth abilities within the player control systems and the way the AI works.
Fire Warrior has the advantage that in Warhammer 40,000 there is a huge list of weapons to choose from - that's part of the fun - and when Fire Warrior was designed, the team picked from the best that would be suited to a FPS.

 Silicon Fusion >> Reviews >> Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior
Each weapon has a primary and secondary fire function, although for some guns both are pretty similar, with one usually exerting continuous fire and the other being a somewhat useless burst-fire function, and of course you can also throw any grenades that you may have picked up with a simple tap of the triangle button.
In fact, one of Fire Warrior's strong points is its length, with over 21 levels to be completed, most of which will take even experienced players a fair amount of time to complete.
Fire Warrior is a huge first-person shooter set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe that will probably be a must-buy for Games Workshop fans.

No firemen were assigned regularly to these two vessels, but fire fighters from land-based stations went to work aboard them at the scenes of fires.
The fire tug Warrior arrived, stretched a line of hose across the railroad and just got the water flowing when a switch engine came along and cut the hose.
Finally the water pressure, fire tug, S.P. tank equipment and fire engine all "came back" and the fire was soon subdued.

 Featuring Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior Review at ActionTrip
Fire Warrior stepped out as a co-project between THQ and Kuju, and was primarily intended for Sony's PlayStation 2 console.
Sadly, this is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to my woes with this "FPS gem." Fire Warrior suffers from several annoying gameplay drawbacks, such as mishaps in AI behavior patterns, poor weapon design, and so on.
On the whole, Fire Warrior is a frustrating experience that treats you to many bug-infested levels, freakish AI, monotonous plot, and a tedious atmosphere.

 IGN: Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior Review
February 13, 2004 - If the title Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior rings a bell in your subconscious it's because Warhammer 40,000 is a well-established strategy game with boards and figurines that comic store clerks would stay up late painting by hand.
Fire Warrior immediately drops the main character, a warrior from the Tau race, into the thick of a battle situation and keeps the pace up through the rest of the game.
Instead of the moving arsenal that most first-person shooters favor, Fire Warrior only allows two weapons to be carried at a time.

 Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior Preview - PlayStation 2 News at GameSpot
In the single-player campaign, you play as a young Tau warrior who, along with a small group of allies, is doing battle with the forces of the Imperium.
The majority of the weapons in Fire Warrior have both primary and secondary fire modes, but for the most part this merely determines the rate of fire.
It's a great system, and one that works well in the context of Fire Warrior, although the linear nature of many of the game's levels means that it can occasionally seem a little too easy to backtrack to previously cleared areas to allow your shield to recharge.

Unfortunately, Fire Warrior shows how developers can steal elements from superior games, while fundamentally misunderstanding why they worked so well in the first place.

Yes, many concessions are made in the process (like the fact that players can only be a Tau Warrior instead of any of the game's other factions) but the end result is a solid, albeit painfully traditional, first-person shooter.

While Fire Warrior is inspired by the Warhammer tabletop game, it is an FPS in every sense of the word.
Speaking of good ol' Halo, fans of the Xbox FPS will be able to jump into Fire Warrior without too much difficulty, as the control scheme is almost identical (save for the fact that it's on a PS2 controller).
With such a strong franchise backing it up, Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior is looking like an FPS worth the discriminating console gamer's time.

 Warhammer 40,000 Fire Warrior Review - PlayStation 2
Fire Warrior shucks the huge armies and group combat for an FPS gaming style.
While it’s not perfect, and there are times where a soldier may get stuck behind an object or refuses to step across a door threshold (Chainfist wielding generals were notorious for that second one), overall it showed signs of intelligence.
Enemies will drop down behind boxes or will fire for explosive barrels or whatnot in your vicinity to try and add extra damage, and on a flipside teammates were pretty accurate and helpful with cover fire and worked out to prove a slight advantage in a rough situation.
