I read all the hate about this game and how it was an unrealistic rail shooter that you can't control your movement. I seen it compared to Area-51 and other rail shooters that I actually really enjoyed so I just assumed the people tearing it apart where just FPS fanatics that only like games like Resistance, so I went ahead and bought it.

Long story short, it's a very bad game with very cheesey voice overs. I played it with my gf for about an hour and haven't played it again since. I want to stress that I do enjoy rail shooters like Time Crisis and House of the Dead, but not this game.

I didn't buy this game through Amazon, I happened to purchase this at Wal-mart and have since regretted it. Heavy fire Afghanistan is not worth the money I spent on it, I consider this a learning lesson. It is a rail-shooter through and through. You can't control your movement and if you see ammo SHOOT IT FAST cuz you won't get the chance to get it later or anything for that matter, grenades and health. I played maybe 10 minutes of this game and already know that it just sucks. If I can't move my avatar or take cover when and where I need to then forget it. This game can sit here and grow dust. I would not recommend this game to anyone. If you need a break from games like COD or Battlefield, even Socom, try Sniper Ghost Warrior or even Spec Ops The Line, heck even I am Alive is a better game. SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!

This is a classic "shooter on rails" style of shooter game. Sorta like a time crisis style game. I had a lot of fun beating this game 2 times and getting all the trophies to get the platinum. There are no collectables and its just a "play the game" type of game.

I really enjoyed it. It is not like COD or Battlefield and there is a reason it is priced inexpensive but for what I paid for it I got WAY more value out of it than it cost

First off, if you are expecting a first person shooter along the lines of Battlefield 3 or Call of Duty, you will be disappointed. This game is straight up old school, on rails, shooter heaven. If you ever played a Time Crisis game, that is what you can expect from this. For the price this game is an excellent value. I'm surprised at how much content is in here. And the replay value as you try to prefect each level is high.

There are multiple ways you can play the game: with a regular controller, with a Move motion controller, with a Move motion controller and a regular controller, or the way the game was meant to be played, with a Move motion controller and navigation controller. You control aiming and firing with the motion controller, and reloading, throwing grenades, and ducking into cover with the navigation controller. Utilizing both those controllers gives you a great experience, and in my opinion is one of the best uses of the Move controllers I've played with. Occasionally you'll need to use the motion controller to jump over crates or duck out of the way of falling objects, and the implementation of these actions is done very well, with simple hand motions that are indicated on the screen.

The graphics are good, especially when you consider this is a $20 game. Pacing is excellent, you never linger too long on one section. The only knock I would give this game is for the gun sound effects. I agree with another reviewer that the gun sounds are rather flat, and don't sound realistic.

Other than that one flaw, I would highly recommend this title, especially when you consider the value you are getting for $20.

the pretext for this game is interesting, but when you actually play you discover that the computer moves the player from scene to scene, and you the shooter have no mobility control other than pivot and fire. when you are ambushed, the computer moves you to the side street, and you cannot run to another spot to return fire. trapped in an intersection? caught in a crossfire? you can't seek shelter because the game format keeps you there as a target until you kill all the baddies, if you live. excellent graphics and fire control, but a serious lack of mobility under fire.
