Summary: It's hammer time...
Review: The ONLY issue i have with this program is key-binding. As a PC gamer, i have grown used to creating my own set of personalized controls for every single game. I was dissapointed about the fact that this feature is not available. The key-mapping in this game is just a little awkward. Otherwise, this is a very nice game. I ran it on a lower end system with graphics pumped-up and it ran well. I had an issue with sound cut-outs and 'skipping', but i simply reinstalled direct x 9 and that took care of it.As far as some saying that a knowledge of the warhammer universe is necessary....huh? This is a shooter. Why would i need to know a book to have fun killing stuff? I have NO knowledge at all of the warhammer universe. I just purchased this because of the beautiful screenshots i saw in advance. The graphic are about 1 to 1 1/2 years back in quality. Sometimes that's a negative. But, in this case, it really adds to the atmosphere. Don;t think this dates back to the first DOOM game, or anything. More like JEDI KNIGHT 2. It's still very nice to look at. Other than the controls, this has a nice learning curve. If you can allow yourself to get into the immersive storyline, it is truly a fascinating one. Absolutely enjoyable. Hope you enjoy it as much as i did.

Summary: The best Warhammer game ever?
Review: This game looks it might beat out Chaos Gate,Final Liberation,and the great Space Hulk for the title of best Warhammer game.It has been recieving only average reviews but that is because it is being compared to other first person shooters.To fully appreciate Fire Warrior you need to know a little bit about the warhammer universe.If you do,this will really make you rate the game very high,as you notice all the detail that brings to life the warhammer universe.

Summary: Do NOT Buy This Game
Review: This is the worst game I've ever had the misfortune of purchasing. Save yourself the trouble of printing the return label and DO NOT buy it. Yet another dissapointment from Games Workshop. It's unbelievable that this game was even released. Wiped it off my hard drive 5 minutes after starting to play.

Summary: WARHAMMER 40,000 ROCKS!
Review: Warhammer 40,000 Fire Warrior is the best translation of the Warhammer Universe to reach the PC and Console. All previous games on PC and Console have literally bombed due to lack of knowledge on behalf of developers who created the games. Chaos Gate was fun while it lasted if you were able to even get the frickin' Land Speeder to even move one square! Chaos Gate became outdated too because it used 2nd Edition rules and restricted you to the Ultramarines Chapter of Space Marines. Rites of War was what I call a crummy disaster since it turned out to be like a disaster of WarCraft/StarCraft that would only satisfy for 5 minutes until you decide you shouldn't have bought the game. Fire Warrior defies the tradition of Games Workshop's style, dubbed Tabletop Hobby Games a.k.a. Wargames, where you command mini's on a tabletop like some general charging into the fray but as the player you are playing the scene out like some omnipotent being overseeing an endless war, Fire Warrior launches you into a First Person Shooter, in the "shoes" of Kais, a Tau Fire Warrior who's leader (known as an Ethereal) was abducted by an Imperial Guard strike force, so you and your squad lock and load, head out to the sight the Imps landed at, and find yourself dropped into a battle rivaling the Normandy Invasion level in Medal of Honor: Frontline! This all takes place over a course of 24 hours as you encounter a range of opponents ranging from the "we're only human"-Imperial Guard to the superhuman Space Marines, and even worse, their counterparts, the Chaos Space Marines, superhumans gifted by Gods of Magic, War, Pestilence, and Excess, you will even encounter Traitor Guardsmen, Imperial Guard who follow the path of Chaos. THIS GAME ROCKS! For those who are Halo fans: The creators of Halo [TOOK] alot from the Warhammer universe, Space Marines in Power Armor was patented by Games Workshop in the 1980's, so go for the original Space Marines. Warhammer 40,000 is embellished in the Gothic style inside and out, and creates a storyline that will keep you coming back into that universe to fight off that endless war. If you aren't a WH40K fan, you still should get into it, its one ride you'll never forget! This game rocks!
