Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior is a Warhammer 40,000 video game available for the PlayStation 2, and Microsoft Windows. It was developed by Kuju Entertainment and was released in October 2003. The game is a first person shooter, where the player takes the role of a Tau Fire Warrior named Shas'la Kais (Promoted to Shas'ui halfway through the game), seeking to rescue his leader and defend his race from the aggressive Imperium of Man and forces of Chaos. There is also a multiplayer mode consisting of Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, and Capture the Flag. Eight multiplayer maps are included with the game, Deathmatch having its own, and Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag having their own. Fire Warrior was one of the first PlayStation 2 games to support 8 player games using its broadband adaptor.

The game was good for its time. It is also one of the few Warhammer40K video games, and the only one as far as I know that features a non-human player character. The entire game is from the Tau perspective, which I thought was pretty cool.
As an avid fan of the Warhammer 40k universe, I must admit I really enjoyed this game. It was great to play yet another perspective of a universe where "there is only war". Graphics & sounds weren't the best, but I didn't let this hamper my experience.
(On the other hand, I know for a fact that a single Tau Fire Warrior couldn't take down entire platoons of Imperial Guard, or go one-on-one with Space Marines or Chaos Marines, but I digress).
