Sonic Team is known for their work on the successful Sonic The Hedgehog series. In the late 1990s, the team developed Burning Rangers, an action game for the Sega Saturn. Burning Rangers is a futuristic game where you play as an elite firefighter who extinguishes flames and rescues civilians in burning buildings. The game received favorable reviews being praised for its graphics and lighting effects. However, the game also received its fair share of criticism. Burning Rangers is criticized for poor collision detection and glitches. Even though the game has problems, fans and critics still love it. The game was among the final seven Saturn games released in America.
The Premise Of Burning Rangers
This title is a third-person shooter whose gameplay loop requires completing missions putting out fires and rescuing trapped civilians. The game has a health system similar to rings in Sonic the Hedgehog. If you have one crystal you can survive damage from enemies and fire. Being hit once scatters the crystals and allows the player to die if hit again in this state. The game has four stages: a power plant, an underwater habitat, a space station, and a spaceship in zero gravity.
