    It’s short, fun and capable of inducing the occasional rage quit.

    Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Mega Battle isn’t a bad game, but it isn’t a good one either as it lacks any of the attitude that made the original series so endearing. The Nostalgia may be on point, but everything else quickly taps out of the Morphin grid after an hour or two. Or to put it another way: AY-YI-YI-YI-YI!

    Saban's Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Mega Battle looks great and sparks so many nostalgic memories for me, but that is where any happiness from this stops. The game itself is basically hot garbage in a pretty multi-colored wrapper. The boss battles are lackluster, controls are horrible and the story is generic at best, even for a Power Rangers story.

    Even with the nostalgia factor, I really don’t think this game holds up enough for even the hardcore fans of Power Rangers. It quickly becomes a boring trek even with friends playing alongside you. It looks like a game for kids, but there’s no way it would hold their attention for long, and the adults that loved the Rangers as kids will find it far too repetitive to keep going. Unfortunately, I just can’t really recommend this game to many people. At least not until after a deep price cut.

    Quite frankly, there’s nothing about Saban’s Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Mega Battle’s creation that feels worthwhile.

    I'm not sure how Bandai Namco get's away with stuff like this.
    Basically, they copied castle crashers but made the controls less fluid. Then    I'm not sure how Bandai Namco get's away with stuff like this.
    Basically, they copied castle crashers but made the controls less fluid. Then they added a power rangers skin over the top, and released this for easy money. They didn't even bother making it online. wow

    True power rangers fans will enjoy Chroma Squad much more; but people who just want some couch co-op action with power rangers colors will be okay with this one.    … Full Review »

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Saban's Might Morphin Power Rangers: Mega Battle is a fun couch co-op beat 'em up.

    However, it is very lacking in certain things.

    1.) Playing solo can be difficult while playing with multiple players may be too easy.

    2.) Leveling takes a long time. (until you reach the third level where super XP orbs can be found and you level up about 3 tiers per orb)

    3.) The controls aren't as smooth as the trailers and devs would like you to think.

    4.) The Megazord battles are not very fun and are tedious.

    5.) The story doesn't make much sense.

    Some positives:

    1.) The visuals/animation/designs are great.

    2.) Once you get reach a certain player level the game becomes much smoother.

    3.) There's a DLC pack immediately available that makes the White Ranger available right away.

    4.) The team-up moves look awesome

    Hopefully the dev team creates a "season 2" with more levels and new upgrades and adds online co-op.

    Overall the game is fun. The campaign can be completed in less than 6 hours.

    Completing the campaign opens a Tower Climb mode where you can fight waves of Putty Patrollers and other monsters to try and reach the top of Rita's tower. This is a fun challenge.    … Full Review »
