Burning Rangers is a 1998 3D action video game developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega for the Sega Saturn. The game is set in a futuristic society threatened by frequent fires. Players control one of an elite group of firefighters, the Burning Rangers, who extinguish the fires and rescue civilians from burning buildings. Most of the tasks the players complete are centred around collecting energy crystals used to transport civilians to safety. Development began shortly after the release of Christmas Nights in November 1996, when Yuji Naka started working on a game focused on saving people rather than killing them. Sonic Team chose the themes of firefighting and heroism. Burning Rangers received mostly positive reviews, especially for the game's soundtrack and audio. Responses to the graphics were mixed; while some critics asserted that the game had the best visuals on the Saturn, others faulted its poor collision detection and occasional glitching. The game was among the final five Saturn titles released in America. (Full article...)
