Blast opponents off the road with Fireburst, an explosively fun fast-paced arcade style racing game with fantastic graphics. Rev up to scorching speeds to outrun opponents on a dozen different tracks, setting them ablaze in your flaming wake thanks to our exclusive Fireboost technology. Drive as sixteen sarcastic drivers with unique styles and taunts, using various explosive, fire-based special abilities to turn other cars into a pyre of parts. Leave opponents sucking on your smoldering dust in single-player mode, local four-player mode or the insane, firetastic online eight-player mode. Grab the wheel and burn some rubber.
Fireburst is a paragon for how a unique and terrific concept can be spoiled with bad execution. Like your traditional racing game, the player competes against NPCs or other players to be first across the finish line. However, there is an additional twist.
All vehicles possess a boosting apparatus that shoots fire in all directions. This mechanism can also be used to destroy opposing vehicles that are in the line of fire. However, holding down the boost for to long can result in an overheat of your vehicle, blowing it to pieces. Unfortunately, the numerous amount of bugs and the poor layout of maps render the game nearly unplayable.
At the main menu, the player has the option to play on the single or multiplayer modes, and may also toggle through the options and leaderboards. Single player offers a variety of game modes which include Quick Race, the Fireburst Racing League, Custom Race, Destruction, and a tutorial.
Fireburst lacks a campaign and any story whatsoever, but are instead replaced with the game’s Fireburst Racing League. In this mode, players are given challenges to beat, in order to unlock new characters, cars etc. Many of these challenges were frustratingly hard, and retrying over and over again is only entertaining for so long. And don’t get me started on the destruction mode. The only person who gets hard playing destruction is Michael Bay. In this game mode, players aimlessly drive around an inclosed circle and attempt to destroy opposing vehicles using the boosting mechanism. What may sound like quality entertainment is actually empty action with a lack of initiative.
