As the time passes, the amount of games for the Sega Saturn diminishes. As the time passes, the quality of the games for the Sega Saturn increases. This is the case for the Sonic Team's new title: Burning Rangers. I really love this game. The gameplay of this game is sililar to Tomb Raider, NiGHTS, and Sonic combined. The view of the game is like Tomb Raider (luckly the control isn't), The gameplay is Sonic and Nights combined (I'll get to that later). First I'll get to the characters.
 Shou Ambane Sex:Male -------------------------------Home:Japan Area |
| As the flames whip and intensify, the exhausted ten-year old Shou lets out a desperate cry. A shimmering outline appears, extending a blood-soaked glove to hurl the young boy to safety. Then- and in the countless haunting dreams since then- Shou looks back to witness the phantasmic Burning Ranger vaporize in a ball of flame... That was the day that changed Shou's life, the day he recognized his destiny. Ten years later, he too has earned the right to call himself a Burning Ranger, and maybe someday he'll be able to repay his debt. |
 Reed (Lead) Pheonix Sex:Male -------------------------------Home:European Area |
| Reed joined fire-fighting after graduating high school- more for the experience than out of any real desire to help people. However, once he got involved in the job of actually saving lives, he quickly gained a healthy respect for the business... Reed has nurtured himself the perfect temperament for the role of a Burning Ranger. He's a cool intellectual who always thinks before he leaps, thanks to an intense awareness of the value of every life. |
 Tillis Sex:Female -------------------------------Home:Unknown |
| After a blaze mercilessly snatched away the lives of her loving parents, the young and bewildered Tillis was taken into government foster care. The cold and impersonal environment spawned in her a desire to save others from the pain of untimely loss. Strength of character, limitless compassion, and extraordinary physical dexterity made her a perfect candidate for the Burning Rangers- her new family. |
 Big Landman Sex:Male -------------------------------Home:Africa Area |
| Big is the eldest and most experienced of the Burning Rangers. His enormous strength and incredible sensory perception have come to the rescue of many hundreds who had lost all hope. Big was badly injured in a terrible accident early in his career, but thanks to his iron will and unbending sense of purpose, he now operates with a body rebuilt using neuro-sil and carbo-limb implants. |
 Chris Parton Sex:Female -------------------------------Home:Africa Area |
| Chris was only thirteen when her father- a first generation Burning Ranger- perished while trying to rescue survivors of a chemical explosion. Chris grew up with enormous pride in her pride in her father and his ultimate sacrifice, yet she always felt that his work had been left unfinished. Chris decided to continue her father's legacy, despite her mother's tearful objections. Her razor-sharp judgment and ability to remain calm in the searing heat of the moment were talents quickly recognized as being perfectly suited to the job of Burning Rangers Team Navigator. |
There's Also 1 more character, but I'm not telling.
Now that we know about the characters, its time to get to the storyline.
The Burning Rangers are a team of futuristic firefighters who save victims by transporting them to the "Burning Ship"(it's not really burning)
This transporting is not possible without the use of crystalic energy gathered from fire. This cannot be accomplished without the use of special lazers.
When you shoot at the fire, it turns into a crystal. Normal red/orange and special pink fire gives 1 or 2 crystals, green fire and giant fireball gives about 5 crystals, and
blue fire gives no crystals. You can also charge up your laser blast to put out blue fire and destroy giant mechs...
