Back once again for the on-rails space shooter, as Fatboy Slim never sang, here we are with Burning Soldier, an(other) on-rails shooter that plays to the strengths of the 3DO’s video streaming capabilities whilst proving once again that there is a reason why this particular genre didn’t survive the 1990’s.
