The Firemen 2: Pete & Danny (ザ・ファイヤーメン2 ピート & ダニー) is an action-adventure game developed by Human Entertainment and released for the PlayStation in 1995. It is a sequel to The Firemen. [1]
Similar to the earlier game in the series, The Firemen 2 involves stopping a deadly fire, this time in a theme park on Christmas Eve. [2] The game supports both single-player and co-op play. [3] Players must put out small fires on the ground by spraying them with their hose, which only impede progress. [3] Moving and tall fires can hurt the player and must be put out with a standard spray. [3] A water bomb gives off a spray of water and puts out all fires in the vicinity. [3]
Levels have a different outcome depending on whether the player is able to save people trapped in the fire. [3] Victims appear on the radar and the player must attempt to reach them in time. [3]
Two firemen, Pete and Danny, are called in to respond to a fire in a high-tech amusement park where the robots have run amok and set fire to it. [1] The robots in the various attractions appear as bosses, such as an animatronic T-Rex. [1]
Fireman 2 was released in Japan on December 22, 1995, for the Sony PlayStation. [4]
It was not released in the West until it was published by MonkeyPaw Games on January 28, 2014, on PlayStation Network as a digital download for the price of $5.99. [5] However, the game was not localized and still retains its original Japanese voice acting without subtitles. [3]
Three reviewers for GameFan gave it a 66, 45, and 70, scores. [6]
Jenni Lada of TechnologyTell rated the game a "B", saying it was a unique experience and praising the inclusion of a co-op mode, but criticizing its stuttering issues. [3]
Conrad Zimmerman of Destructoid said he was "totally smitten" by the premise of "firefighters working together in a cooperative game" and said he wished he knew of its existence when it was released. [5] However, Allistair Pinsof, of the same publication, called the game "lackluster". [7]
Hardcore Gaming 101 called the game "rushed", saying it was "unfinished" and criticizing the removal of gameplay mechanics from the first game. [1]
