“Running into a burning building” can be found on my ever-growing list, “Things I Will Never Do Because I’m a Pussy.” I understand and respect the role of firefighters, whether they’re braving a blaze to save the life of a child or getting a cat out of a tree. But I think I left my balls somewhere, because I can’t seem to man-up enough to run into someone’s flaming home. 

Good news for those of you like me — we can finally feel the rush of what it’s like to be a fire service professional with the Epicenter Studios-developed Wii title Real Heroes: Firefighters. The game is said to have an emphasis on puzzles that “mirror the challenges and on-the-fly choices” that firefighters face, using the Wii remote to really put players into the action.

Real Heroes will incorporate something Epicenter is calling “Thinking Fire” technology, which will make the blaze come to life, seemingly attacking structures and potential victims, as well as the firefighters themselves. No word on whether there will be a “heated” boss battle against a Class C fire with flame arms. 

Real Heroes: Firefighters is set for a 2009 release.
