Wish I enjoyed this more. Starts with a fun premise hilariously executed with surprisingly good firefighting action, but as the drawn-out chapters continue it's only made increasingly clear the game is spinning its wheels.
I'd wholeheartedly say this is worth a shot if you have a curious inclination, at the least, the first few chapters are very fun and bookended with some primo Konami presentation and PS2-era Hollywood imitation melodrama. The gameplay loop is great, there's a strong arcadey slant to the scoring and level structure which adds a hurriedness to things. Host to many legitimately inspired setpieces and bosses that exploit conventional locales for surprisingly effective sequences. One of my favourite bosses is literally just, "a fire in a locker room" because of how well its executed lol. Lockers bursting open with flaming clothes flying at the player in the form of projectiles.
By the time you get to the chemical plant, just bounce, that's when the creative spark has effectively been extinguished.
