iPhone augmented reality game sets the world on fire

The new Firefighter 360 for the iPhone 3GS lets you experience the thrill of seeing everything around you burst into flames, without all that pesky heat and death. The augmented reality game, developed by Presselite, superimposes fires -- and virtual victims -- over the iPhone camera's view of the world, with flames generated in every direction, spreading and multiplying. And it's up to you, as an inexplicably cel-shaded fireman, to douse the flames and rescue the citizens.

Firefighter 360 was added to the App Store November 10, at a price of .99. Seriously, why is he cel-shaded? He's in the real world. See a video demonstration of the game after the break.
