I have never played this game. I barely even understand the gameplay from what I've seen. If I were to play it, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't even like it that much. I have tried to emulate it before, but Sega Saturn emulation is a joke and anyone who tells you it's viable is lying to themselves and everyone around them. Burning Rangers is an elusive cryptid of a game that I only have tangentially experienced through playing Sonic All Stars Racing and listening to the soundtrack and imagining how cool the game might be. And man, does that soundtrack absolutely slam. For the entirely of 2019, the Burning Rangers theme song was the main character of my cardio workout playlist and I would run at inhuman speeds whenever it popped up. And every time I finished a workout, I'd think to myself "Yo, Burning Rangers is the greatest game ever created" despite never playing it a single time. While it is fun to play pretend and push this baseless agenda, I would consider this is fraudulent behavior on my end. I do not desire to be a fake Burning Rangers fan. I need to play it for myself and craft a unique informed experience rather than pretending like I'm some 90's kid whose soul was set a flame by Sonic Team, when they popped in their Burning Rangers disc into their Uncle's Sega Saturn. That's not good enough for me. I want reality. We all deserve that reality. We all need Burning Rangers to be preserved and playable so that was can develop our own personal and real relationships with the game rather than wondering about "What If". There's so much strife, pain, and suffering we have to endure as human beings in this modern world. Do we really need Burning Rangers not having a modern port added on top of that? I don't think we do.

Never played the game but watched playthrough videos of this twice. The only negatives I could see for this game is that it is way too short, and I think it is an unfinished game. I can see with the 2D animated scenes, there would of most likely been other kinds of gameplay, more areas to explore, maybe get to know characters and maybe play other characters. If there be an updated finished version of this with better graphics and voice acting, it would be great.

I played the game while I was a kid and absolutely loved it. Sad it burnt in a house fire along with the rest of our saturn collection. Resident evil and Burning Rangers are my main childhood games I remember vividly from our saturn.
One of last wave of new games released for the Sega Saturn--after the Saturn's obsolescence was announced--and pushed the limits of what the Saturn was capable of and what 3D action games were doing at the time. Many much-hyped features (extra characters, a procedural level arrange mode) were locked off to second playthroughs, and I myself never beat my first playthrough because I randomly got stuck on what I think was meant to be a not-that-hard minigame that precedes the final boss, a boss I only actually got to attempt once or twice with months spent failing the stupid space fire truck sequence repeatedly. I remember being mesmerized by the game's whole vibe, and always treated beating the game as my white whale. I still have my Saturn, it doesn't work so well, and my copy of Burning Rangers, which seems fine, I hope to bang my head against emulating it but Saturn emulation is difficult in the best of cases and this is a demanding game. It's one of many IPs I wish Sega cared enough to re-release, perhaps follow-up, but this one holds a special place as a Saturn fan of the old school.

Unreal Tournament 2004
Unreal Tournament 2004Unreal Tournament 2004 is a multiplayer first person shooter that combines the kill-or-be-killed experience of gladiatorial combat with cutting-edge technology. Ten game modes - both team-based and "every man for himself" -- provide even the most hardcore gamer with palm-sweating challenges through unbelievably detailed indoor arenas and vast outdoor environments. As the ultimate techno-gladiator of the future, players will take their fates into their hands, battling against up to 32 other players online in action-packed, frag-filled arenas. Assault Mode - Assault mode returns! Redesigned for UT2004, this fan-favorite mode sees teams face-off to defend and attack fortified bases, from fast-moving trains, barreling across an arid alien desert to a Skaarj mother ship, poised to attack the human home world. Onslaught Mode - Onslaught mode takes team combat to the next level! Opposing teams are pitted against each other to capture and hold strategic points in order to attack and destroy the enemy power core. Taking place in massive outdoor environments, here is where vehicular combat comes into its own. Flying and driving machines take combatants to the frontline and gigantic mobile battle stations serve as a platform from which to launch devastating attacks. Vehicles - Rev-up and ride out in an array of land-, air-, and space-based vehicles that play critical roles in a successful combat strategy in Assault and Onslaught. With vehicles ranging from single man fighters to five man behemoths, Unreal Tournament 2004 provides players with plenty of choices when shopping for a mechanized implement of destruction. Levels - More than 95 maps will be available immediately, including more than 45 brand new maps for all existing game play modes as well as new modes of play. Vast outdoor environments, deep space combat areas and tightly packed indoor techno-arenas are all waiting for the latest entrants to the Tournament. Weapons - The entire smorgasbord of frag-dealing weaponry from Unreal Tournament 2003 returns for the experienced player to wield masterfully against new contestants. Those armaments are joined by three new implements of doom: the Mine layer, which disperses spider-like bombs that chase and harass any enemy that comes within range; the anti vehicle rocket launcher, or AVRiL, which deals out a payload of massive rockets tuned to seek and destroy enemy mechanized units; the Grenade Launcher, which launches timed explosives that will bounce on the ground and stick to enemies and enemy vehicles, only to be triggered by the weapons altfire command; and, the return of the notorious Sniper Rifle from the original Unreal tournament, completely redesigned and upgraded to make heads roll. New Characters - Unreal Tournament 2004 introduces 32 new characters on four new teams: The human Thunder Crash, lead by Tournament hero, Malcolm; the Robotic Corrupt, lead by an upgraded Xan Kriegor; the Iron Skull, a team of merciless Skaarj warriors; and the Hellions -- wreckless human mercenaries and pirates who delight in the thrill of the kill. New Technology - Unreal Tournament not only brings new content for hardcore fans to relish, it also delivers a tremendous technology update over its predecessor, delivering a faster, slicker, deeper experience than ever before.

There is no RPG iteration of the game, unlike with previous titles.
