Ranger X

Overview

The Next level of run n shoot-styte games has arrived. Ranger X is Segas first action cart to be compatible with both the three-button controller or the new six-button controller. This explosive one-player title will have you battling the Rahuna hoards in an effort to save yourself and the Homework! Tribes from certain annihilation.

Wearing your Ranger X-armor and traveling with your Cyber-Cycle, your mission is to traverse each area, searching out and destroying Rahuna offensive mechanisms. You can pilot from inside the cycle, use it as a mobile weapons platform, ride atop or leave it behind and depend on your Jump Jets for movement. At the start of your eight missions, you have two Special Weapons— a Flame Unit and Seeker Mines. Four more Special Weapons are collected as you progress. Some missions will have you leave your cycle behind in favor of Eos, a Platform Courier. The Platform Courier is limited in its movement area, and with its autotracking laser, is better suited as air cover for ground assaults.

Ranger X is fast-moving, fiery and apt to leave you needing cooldown time. Graphically, it is diverse and will give you a real feel for your fight for the Tribe's Flome-world. The music is enjoyable without overpowering game play and the effects are a blast. The controls are easy to leam and especially impressive on the six-button controller.

Put on your Ranger X-armor and join the fight. Ranger X is action game play at The Next Level.
