First of all, this hack isn't completed and the creator is updating this continuously so there will be probably new features coming up soon.
I really enjoy playing Furious Flames. Thad's why I like it:
- I don't like Emerald/Rubin/Sapphire graphics and each hack which is based of them. So I was very pleased when I saw the beautiful Kant region. Personally I think Kant is quite better than Sinnoh/Hoenn so there´s not much to improve.
- Gary/Green is not your only rival. You will encounter May and Brendan numerous times in the game.
- I usually speed up the game so I rate the sounds a 8: solid music, but nothing extraordinary.
- Unlike in the original Fire Red game you´re able to catch 386 Pokémon which allows a great variety of possible teams. I´m glad the creator didn´t insert 4th/5th generation pokémon since I think they don't fit in GBA games.
- In addition to Team Rocket, you will encounter Team Magma and Team Aqua later in the game.
- This is the first game(as far as I know) in which you can travel to Hoenn. So there are 2 regions with 16 Gym Badges to earn.
- I think the difficulty is acceptable. To be honest I had some problems with defeating May sometimes. But I think a game should not be too easy; where would the fun be?
- I´ve noticed only few bugs yet. I recommend to save often just to be on the safe site. For example Three Island is bugged: you can´t go there yet(with cheats you can use Wall Hack to get to Three Island) because you will be stuck in water with nowhere to go.
In conclusion, I rate this game 9.5. The graphics are fine(at least to me, I love FR/LG
) ,the opportunity to visit a 2nd region (which isn´t Kant like in Gold/Silver) and characters from other games(such as the leader of Team Magma) are very interesting. I look forward for the next version.
