Fireburst is a racing game developed by exDream and published by IndiePub and Bigben Interactive. It was released for Microsoft Windows on April 25, 2012,[1] and PSN and XBLA on June 14, 2013.[2] It received mixed reviews from critics.
Gameplay
In Fireburst, the Fireboost covers the cars with flames and turns them into a weapon. With the Fireboost, players can kill other opponents, but the player's car will explode if their heat level becomes too great.[3]
Plot
Charles Randolph, known as "Hightower", invented the Fireburst Racing League and is determined to be the first champion in order to restore his dignity and reputation.[3]
Reception
The game has an aggregate score of 59/100 on Metacritic for the PC version, indicating "mixed or average reviews",[1] while the XBLA version has an aggregate score of 35/100, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".[2]
Caroyln Petit of GameSpot rated the PC version of the game 5/10 points, calling it "good-looking" and its boost mechanic exciting, but saying that it lacked interesting single-player content.[4] Similarly, John Blyth of Official Xbox Magazine UK rated the XBLA version 5/10 points, calling it a "perfectly average experience", but criticizing the game's destruction mode as "dull".[5] Bryan Dupont-Gray of Hardcore Gamer rated the game 2/5 points, saying that the fact it was a party racing game was a "misstep".[6]
