Remember back in the early 90s when People used to like the Power Rangers? Didn’t you think they were do cool wearing spandex jumpsuits and riding dinosaurs? Did you play the videogames? Of course you did. When you look day, you see through the cheesy dialogue, stupid animation, and the HORRIBLE excuse for a game. This game is just plain awful. Like beaten with an ugly stick awful. Virtually no story, but I think there might be one, covered over the heaps of characters that are almost exactly the same. The only good things about this game is the graphics, which were quite nice, and looked very good on the Genesis. Otherwise, not should be played even with sanitary gloves. If you want a good fighting game for Genesis, stay away from this. Unless you proudly run around in a Red Ranger Helmet, covered your body in red and Black Plastic, and have the plastic gun that Tyco made (my friend still has his). Even though this might have been a good game for the young ones, but now, I will give a description of what you can do with it.

That’s about it. Avoid this game like the old and diseased.
This game came out around the time of 1993 or 1994, when the original power rangers were still in the series. (It all went downhill for the Rangers after they got rid of Zack; the Black Ranger. He was the coolest!) And you must fight people (from the story or movie) one by one. Once you beat them once, they “grow” and you must use the megazord or dragonzord to beat them. Those zords are just a stronger version of you, so the 2nd match is much easier then the first. There are about 6 or 7 matches, ending with you saving the world. Fairly simple or an overly simplistic game. Those Power Rangers need some help saving the world, and they get it from you, as they try to beat the evil villains once again.

These were pretty good, for a Genesis game. Everyone looks just like they did in the TV show or movie. (I think, I haven’t seen the show in about 8 years.) Everyone’s animations are overly simplistic and could have had more of them, because everyone only has about 5 moves, including punches and kicks. All but the green ranger has the same costume, making that all they do is a palette swappe, and the green ranger has very little changed to his costume as well. The backgrounds in the game look actually nice, full of detail straight from the show. What I didn’t like, was the out of game character faces, you know, the ones that were supposed to look like the people in the show? Well, they could be called in as body doubles with some bad face injury. The Pink Ranger (If I remember correctly, her name was Kimberly.) Has one eye closed and the other opened. I don’t really get that. Maybe she has PINK-eye. “Laughter can be heard from a toilet in Honduras” HAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh I crack myself up sometimes. If you want to see something like Crono Trigger, there is no way, but this is the best the Genesis can do at this time.

Though this is just a standard fighting game made because of the popularity of Mortal Kombat, though it does a horrible job of trying to recreate it. Like Mortal Kombat, you have very few possibilities in moves. In fact, you only have two moves, shooting your gun (which everyone has) or pressing the punch button and forward to use your weapon. You also have 2 kinds of punches, a high one and low one. And two kicks. Again, high and low ones. Not much originality on this one. You would think that the characters would be different to make up for this travesty, but nope, they are all pretty much the same, except for that one move. Not even the defense or strength of one character differs. So, in reality, you only have 3 different characters in one game for story mode. (Megazord, Dragonzord, Power Rangers.) What really I found that was ****ed up was that you could only play the zords in the 2nd part of the battle. They get rid of the best people to battle with when you first play. The vs. battles were like this too. Why? Loose controls just make it worse to play the game, because your character doesn’t do anything you want him to.

Standard fare of sound for the Genesis. Not many notable tunes, but the little kids will remember them. Go go Power Rangers! Oh, that was great. This game also comes standard with some of the worst punching and kicking sounds I have ever heard. If you can imagine some bricks, a bowl of Jell-o with small pieces of fruit in it, and then the bricks hitting the Jell-o from the elevation of a stepladder, then you got your sound effects. If only that Jell-o didn’t have the fruit. It’s so sad. Anyway, the sound sounds like yummy Jell-o. It’s true, Jell-o sounds yummy. Go go Power Rangers!

Fun Factor: 2
Ew, get this game away, it should be taken into an Atomic Bomb test site. Let the radiation deal with this horrible excuse for a game. It shall burn well. The souls of a lost youth are very flammable. To make this game not melt, I’m saying that it is not fun playing this game at all. With no replay and the loose controls I mentioned earlier, why would you get this game even to see it?

Buy or Rent?
Just stay away from this game, get away, and then run for cover. The Power Rangers could come back at any moment. And then the world shall be doomed forever to watch the re-runs.
