Gameplay
Heavy Fire: Special Operations is a shooting game set a fictional Middle Eastern setting where players join the elite special force fighting against terrorists.[1] A player starts the game as a Private equipped with a pistol and his goal is to eliminate opponents and gain as many points as possible to advance in the military hierarchy. Players can get several bonuses and perform combos like ‘Leader Kill’, ‘Demolition Man’, ‘Lord of Destruction’ and others, helping to achieve a higher score. Missions can be run using the light-gun from the ground, Humvee or Blackhawk.[2]
There are 6 ranks to achieve: Private First Class, Corporal, Sergeant, Staff Sergeant, Master Sergeant and Sergeant Major. Each of them is linked to one of 7 specific guns, so the more points are gathered, the better weapon can be used.
The game provides a single-player and a co-operative multi-player mode, both supporting the Wii Zapper peripheral on the WiiWare version.
