McGregor.

Successfully complete the game. 

Avoiding cinders and flames:
When fighting a firestorm or any other major fire, aim for the base of it and keep 
moving. This will almost ensure that you will not get hit by any flying cinders or 
flames.

Avoiding backdrafts:
To see and avoid backdrafts, look at the bottom of doors to see if there are flames 
coming out. If you see flames, be careful when opening the door, as there is no 
way to fight a backdraft. However, do not completely forget about those doors 
because there are lost items sometimes in the rooms.

When you see a room that will backdraft, upon opening it quickly press Dodge (X) 
+ Left or Right to get out of the way.

This might take a few attempts. Stand in front of the door (with yellow smoke 
coming out from under it) and press Circle. As soon as the door opens one quarter 
of the way, press X + Left or Right. If done correctly, you should narrowly escape 
the flames. This technique is especially useful when you have no choice but to 
open one of these doors. There are usually switches or lost items behind these 
doors.

Avoid falling through floor:
In some levels, there are some tiles that have cracks in them. Avoid them. When 
you fall through them, you will suffer damage and are set on fire.

Using sprinklers:
When a sprinkler is activated, stand under it for at least thirty seconds. Your fire 
gear will absorb some of the water. When you leave the sprinkler area, your HP 
gauge should still be flashing blue. When you now catch fire, the damage is not as 
great. Note: When you come into contact with fire, the gauge will return to normal 
and you will have to repeat this. 

Move faster:
While running, tapping the dodge button (X) to make Dean lunge forward. Keep 
pressing it and you will reach your destination much faster. 

Play as Miss Crimson:
Successfully complete the game with over one million points as Dean "Max" 
McGregor. 

Electrifing Robots:
To rid yourself of those pesky robots pull out your axe and whack em. Stand clear 
when they blow though.

Backdraft Escape:
When you see a door that may backdraft, open it. When it is a quarter of the way 
open press the X button and press either the left or the right d-pad button.
