Nonstop Action and Thundering Weaponry Delivered in Deadly Military Helicopter-Action Game for Next-Generation Consoles
Midway Games Inc., a leading software industry publisher and developer, announced today that Fireblade(TM), an all-new military helicopter-action game, has shipped for the PlayStation(R) 2 computer entertainment system and is scheduled to ship in fall 2002 for the Nintendo GameCube(TM) and the Xbox(TM) video game system from Microsoft.
Players experience the deadly impact of war firsthand in Midway's all-new military chopper-action videogame, Fireblade. Dropping players behind the throttle of deadly military attack choppers, Fireblade challenges gamers to complete dozens of intense combat missions, with day and night objectives, in real world locales.
"Fireblade delivers an original take on the helicopter combat game genre with intense, fiery missions that combine visceral combat and warlike strategic plots that will challenge the finest action gamers around," said Helene Sheeler, vice president of marketing, Midway.
Blasting through 18 missions in four campaigns, players navigate their lethal military chopper through whizzing gunfire and thundering explosions. Fireblade military choppers are loaded with all of the state-of-the-art weapons needed to save the world: Sniper Cannons, Swarm Missiles, EMP Weapons, Rail Guns and Laser-Guided Homing Missiles. Multiple camera angles let players zoom in and out of the frenzied action, which takes place over treacherous environments such as the Swiss Alps, Arizona Desert, Amazon Jungle and the Arctic Circle. In order to conquer terrorist enemies, Fireblade pilots can run silent in stealth mode, evade enemies with thermal imaging sensors and prevent raising alarms by remaining undetected with EMP weapons.
