Description

Hyakujū Sentai Gaoranger (百獣戦隊ガオレンジャー) is 25th entry in Toei's long-running Super Sentai Series (スーパー戦隊シリーズ) that is considered as 25th Anniversary series. This game is based on the original series and includes some parts of it as cutscenes.

Player should follow the original plot and defeat two Baron Orgs (Hansen Org and Bulldozer Org), then Highness Duke Org Shuten, then Rōki and, finally, Yabaiba, Tsuetsue and Highness Duke Org Rasetsu (yep, no Highness Duke Org Ura in this game). As a nice bonus in the end of this game we'll get an exclusive monster called King Org.

Gameplay is divided in two parts. First one is a typical Beat 'Em Up game. Player takes a role of Kakeru-sensei (GaoRed) and can't choose. The other heroes will join in the middle of the battle and will allow player to perform powerful special attacks. To make it short - if Kakeru-sensei is fighting alone, triangle button will make him to shoot Gao Mane Buster, which will cost him some life (there's also a hidden move with Gao Mane Buster that doesn't need life to work, but instead requires a right combination of buttons). But if there's another member nearby, triangle button will activate a special move, which deals a lot of damage and won't harm Kakeru-sensei.

A battles of giants are different.  In this game player will use GaoKing, GaoMuscle Striker and GaoIcarus (yet again, can't choose), but there won't be much difference. In battles of giants there are two phases. In the first one you'll need to dodge, or strike back enemy's shots. If you've played The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (ゼルダの伝説 時のオカリナ), then you know what to do. Note that not all attacks can be reflected and sometimes it's better to dodge, since it's too easy to miss a shot and those will deal a lot of damage. In such cases quick dashes (double pressing on D-Pad) will help a lot. Anyway, when you'll see a special mark, you should press attack button to enter the second phase.

In a second phase it's enemy's time to dodge. It won't be able to attack and that's the only time when you can deal proper damage. Unfortunately, enemy won't stay still and you'll need to catch it, which may be hard. And you won't have much time - after some seconds enemy will push you back and you'll need to dodge again.

There are two kinds of attacks in second phase. First is a powerful strike (X button) and second one is a quick series of punches (O button). Second one is the best way to catch enemy. Move, use quick dashes and try to catch enemy with punches. Then, when it'll jump away from you to the left, or to the right, do the quick dash to the same direction (you'll land on the same spot with your enemy) and do powerful strike. Repeat.

That's basically it. This game is actually very short - there are only five short levels and special final battle, so, you can beat it in like 20 minutes if you'll skip the cutscenes, but, of course, I won't skip them, since those are absolutely awesome. Well, it's just henshin (transformation) and gattai (combination) scenes from the original series, but still, it's a great thing to see them in game.

That's it, Hyakujū Sentai Gaoranger: The Game ^_^ Gao!~
