SNES Bandai – 1995 NOW WAIT! Before you grab your pitchforks and torches, think I’m high, or die of laughter, consider this. We all had our first games, right? Some people started playing when they were 14, some when they were 8…me? I became a gamer at the tender young age of 4. What was my first game? The (at the time) kickass Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers. So . . . I went and played this game again, (totally not on ROM, no sir, no illegal things on THIS computer) and I realized just why it was so damn awesome. Ok, so as far as the story goes, the POWER RANGERS (in their not-as-cool human forms) are standing around in some place…AND THEN RITA REPULSA APPEARS IN THE SKY AND OH NO WE’RE SCREWED. Yeah. So, you’re brought to a character select screen, where you can pick any of the Rangers you want. I pick Blue, because kicking ass in overalls is da bomb diggity. So, you’re teleported in your blue colored laser transporter (or whatever color Ranger you pick) into a crazy city. Walk forward a bit, and you’ll be attacked by PUTTY PATROLLERS OMG!!! So, yes. The game plays like an average, side scrolling, beat-em’-up game. You go through the stage fighting Putties with your pathetic hu-man skills. About halfway through the stage, the boss will appear and taunt you...that’s when you raise up your medallion, and turn into A MIGHT MORPHIN POWER RANGER!!! As an added bonus, the theme song (Go go Power Rangers!) plays until you move to the next portion of the stage. Fight MORE Putties with your mad crazy POWER RANGER skills, until you reach the final portion, where you fight the boss.
For the next two stages, you play in the uber cool MEGAZORD!!! Like one of those Gundam games, but totally cooler because you fight a big rubber monster like in the shows...and then you fight a two-form COPY MEGAZORD!!! WOWZERS!!! What liked: POWER RANGERSSS!!! What disliked: It’s an average beat-em’-up. Nothing too fancy. What to expect: PUTTY PATROLLERS! GADZOOKS! What not to expect: NO PUTTY PATROLLERS! GADZOOKS! What's so different from this and other games of it's genre: ...Power Rangers? Ratings on: Control – (4): Not responsive...sometimes...which isn’t cool when that eye laser monster is shooting lasers at you from his eye(s). Graphics – (6): When the Pink and Yellow Rangers transform? They look all strong and bulgy...ewww... Sound – (7): GO GO POWER RANGERS!!! DA NA NA NA NA GO GO POWER RANGERS!!! Style – (2): Very little to no style...it’s been said before, you average, ordinary, beat-em’-up game. (You know what? I hate doing the time thing, because I don’t mark time intervals. So I’m not doing it [this time]. Ha!) #1 reason why I hate this game: The girls looking like guys when they morphed. It was icky...really icky. by Tim, the newly appointed Blue Ranger. |
