The problem I had with Fire Warrior is the same problem I have with Resistance: Fall of Man. I cannot STAND it in first person shooters when the enemy does not react to getting hit with a bullet. No matter how unrealistic the game, I can suspend disbelief to almost anything as long as the enemies actually register that I shot them in the head with a machine gun.
I'm not saying every game has to be like this, but it really does kill an experience for me when they don't.
Other than that, Fire Warrior was fine to me. I wish they'd make another where I got to play as a space marine.

Re: Best Undiscovered PS2 First Person Shooters?
PS2 was rather weak in the fps department so finding undiscovered games in that genre is very difficult as fps fans would pick up every fps available if they only had a PS2 so they all were pretty well known and the undiscovered ones were horrible.
Project snowblind, darkwatch and XIII are the best bet. But multiplayer on darkwatch and XIII is pretty bad, even tried them on xbox with four player, which is guaranted fun in any game no matter how bad it is, and it lasted about 3 rounds before it got very boring. I love single player campaigns but haven't been able to play these yet.
Don't know if 007 nightfire was low profile or not but it was a decent PC game, and so was no one lives forever but I can't say if it was well translated into the console.
All of the above averaged 70-80% in ratings according to gamerankings.com. Here are the search results:

Yeah, that's kind of been ruining Resistance for me too. It also feels pretty generic altogether, considering how nuts people went over it. "PS3's first MUST-BUY!" and all that.Ack wrote:The problem I had with Fire Warrior is the same problem I have with Resistance: Fall of Man.

Anyway, I don't think anyone's mentioned 007 Agent Under Fire yet. I'm not sure if there's a multiplayer mode, but it offers a varied single-player experience. Kind of a stupid game, though. It has "Bond moves", so when you do something Bond-like (e.g., open a door), the James Bond theme song starts blaring and you get some Bond bonds you can spend at the Bond Gift Shop.

Agent under Fire was multiplatform and only soso. The multiplayer was ok - grappling hooks in temple...

=D i wasn't saying it was a sub-par game, i was just saying that i didn't buy it because it lacked multiplayer... As i have a brother and often have friends over i mainly purchase games which have a good multiplayer.black flag nc wrote:I'm so sick off hearing a game is sub-par because it's not built around multiplayer.
Black is a great game. Cold Winter was another good PS2 FPS.
