Return Fire is the spiritual successor to Fire Power and it fits in both the strategy and action genres. You can take control of one of 4 vehicles, a jeep, helicopter, tank and a missile launching vehicle (but actually called The Armoured Support Vehicle (ASV). There are are two ways to win, the easier one would be to capture the enemy's flag by bringing it to your bunker with the frail Jeep. This is the main objective. The other way to win is to destroy your enemy, a secondary objective.

A fantastic game in its own right, and a technical marvel on the PS1 in just its first year of life: with awesome music, well-designed levels, superb graphics, good amount of challenge, and a formidable attention to detail. Totally wrote this off the first time I played it, but it needs to be stressed how impressive it is for gameplay this one-note to still be so fully gripping - I tackled map after map in this and never wanted to put it down. The PlayStation port is no question the victor, combing all the base maps from the original 3DO version in addition to a surfeit of levels from its later expansion Maps o' Death - adding into a sum of content that is just massive for its era. Plus you just gotta love the island setting here, and its macabre sense of humor. Could you imagine this thing with a level editor? Oh man, that'd be something to see.
It's fun but it's an Army recruitment tool and that's kinda messed up.
