I get bored of light gun shooters rather quickly, but I’ve always had a soft spot Sega’s arcade gameBrave Firefighters. It used a hose peripherals that you would aim at the screen to put out blazing fires, and yes, it was ridiculous.
While I gave up on waiting for such peripherals to come to consoles, it does look like I’ll be getting close with the Epicenter Studios-developedReal Heroes: Firefighterfor the Wii. The game will have you waving the Wii Remote to aim your hoses, swing axes, and tear through a burning building with a chainsaw. I’m sweating just thinking about it.
If this sounds like your kind of thing — and you can keep yourself from volunteering locally —Real Heroes: Firefighteris scheduled for a Q2 2009 release.
