Burning Soldier is a Full Motion Video (FMV) rail shooter that was also released on Windows (1998).
+ Similar to Panzer Dragoon (1995, Sega Saturn), your secondary attack can lock onto several enemies at once.
+ Includes a two-player co-op mode, along with a reasonable difficulty curve that provides you with infinite continues.
+ Presentation is outstanding and there's a large amount of cut-scenes, as well as up-tempo music to raise the intensity.
- D-pad isn't quite accurate enough to reward skilled play and cheap hits can occur due to jittery reticle movement.
- Refraining from shooting to revive your shield adds risk-reward, but the charge rate is too slow to be effective.
- In-game voiceovers are very low in the mix, which makes it hard to follow orders and become invested in the overall plot.
