Firebugs is a futuristic racing video game for the PlayStation. The game was developed by Attention to Detail and only European release in 2002.
Gameplay
The game modes include 1 player mode where the player can race on 25 tracks in 5 distinct worlds. There is 2 player mode which consists of the same basics as in one player mode. Weapons and defences are used to help the player win races. There are Five Pilots to choose from with each having a different background from one another.
Soundtrack
The game's soundtrack includes music from hip-hop group Bomfunk MCs, whose songs "We R Atomic" and "Put your hands up" are featured. These are of note because the album Burnin' Sneakers was not released in the UK, and so the songs have correlation to this game for many UK fans.
Critical reception
Firebugs received positive reviews in the Evening Chronicle,[2] the Birmingham Mail,[3] and the Waikato Times.[4]
