A fireman game with some story, nice and easy but here and there some challenging gameplay.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I completed the game in 2.5 hours so it's not a long game, but I prefer a very well made game where I enjoy every moment to a game that claims to have 50 hours of gameplay and half of it is boring.
