Firefighter 360 App: Waste Of Money?

1 comment

[fblike]When you first hear the concept of a firefighting game using augmented reality you can’t help but be intrigued. However, you are quickly let down realizing that this is yet another app created by someone that knows nothing about the fire department. Worse yet, the developer doesn’t understand basic game play. Very few game app developers are able to grasp that concept. Firefighter 360 fails to deliver.

In this life-saving fire-person shooter, you play as a firefighter, rather than gunning down enemies, you will have to douse virtual flames spreading very fast in your real environment. As you physically turn around 360 degrees with your iPhone, you have to methodically extinguish the flames you see, thanks to the camera. The fire itself isn’t just a static “enemy” to be dealt with. Flames will propagate and spread if you don’t put them down completely, the fire itself is capable of doing you harm if you’re not careful.

Watch the video below created by the developer. If for some reason you are still interested in this app, you can download it from iTunes for .99 cents at : http://itunes.apple.com/app/firefighter-360/id338041092?mt=8
