Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Mega Battle Review

It’s Morphin Time!!

It’s been quite the week for Power Ranger fans. We get Mega Battle, we get the trailer for the Power Rangers film that comes out in March and just recently the new show Power Rangers Ninja Steel premiered on Nickelodeon.

It’s been quite some time since the last time we got a new Power Rangers game and Mega Battle got me excited but does it deliver? Well we're about to find out.

Power Rangers Mega Battle is a beat em up game featuring the original power rangers. That’s right Zack (Black Ranger), Kimberly (Pink Ranger), Billy (Blue Ranger), Trini (Yellow Ranger), Jason (Red Ranger) and Tommy (Green Ranger and White Ranger) all return to save earth from the evil sorceress Rita and red monster Zedd.

The presentation is pretty fun to look at in my opinion. It’s really more of a cartoon presentation with some very funny animation especially when players are beating up putties.

The gameplay plays like any other beat em up game with a little bit more speed. You can have up to four players team up saving Angel Grove. Players can use the characters unmorphed but can’t perform special attacks. You can morph when your energy bar is filled. Players can perform their standard combo, air combo, and team specials. Players can unlock more moves by leveling up.

Now the Megazord battles are not that interesting if you’re playing by yourself. If you’re playing with your friends it can be a little bit more fun. Players shoot at the weak spot of the monster which is really easy and then they get into battle mode. Players will have to hit a sequence of buttons in order to give out damage but when you’re playing with friends it can be challenging because everyone has to be on point pressing the buttons.

Now there are some downsides with the game. There is no online which I believe this game truly needs online. I wish there were more sound effects from the characters but at the same time I understand that it’s hard to get the original voice actors together. I also wish this game was a bit longer.

In the end Power Rangers Mega Battle is a fun game. I would probably only prefer this game if you’re a Power Rangers fan especially if you grew up watching the original. It’s definitely a lot more fun playing with four people. It’s also cool to hear the original voices when the ranger morphs and hearing Rita saying “Magic wand make my monster grow!!.” This game definitely bought back some memories. Players also get to hear familiar music from the TV show remixed into this game. I give Mighty Morphin Power Rangers : Mega Battle a 7 out of 10.
