The Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers are hot! Just ask any kid or action-figure collector. If you're more than a beginner, this game plays best in the head-to-head versions with the Gear-to-Gear cable. Power Rangers looks good, plays smoothly, and is a lot of fun-but it's very easy. It's cute at first, but turn it off before it's indelibly imprinted in your brain. The tunes run to remixes of the show's music, especially the ever-familiar "Go, Go, Power Rangers" ditty. The Rangers and other enemies are fairly large sprites for the Game Gear.

Although there's not a lot of variety in the look of the Put-tys (there's not on the show either), Coldfarb and friends look suitably realistic. The game's not comparable to Street Fighter II or any other true fighting game, but it's a satisfying blend of fighting and adventure, perfect for beginning players.Ĭool digitized screens of Rita and the Rangers set the mood for the rest of the game. All the moves are easy to execute with simple button presses and button-press control-pad combos. Each fighter (including the enemy characters) has a repertoire of basic punches and kicks, as well as a few special moves, like a throw or dash.
