Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)All told, the original Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers game for the SNES is not as good as some, better than others.Bandai released four Power Rangers titles for the system, and of those four, the best has to be Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie, followed by Power Rangers Zeo: Battle Racers (known on Amazon.com as merely Power Ranger Racers).The original MMPR title, the one you're reading about here, falls below the level of those two, but still manages to stand above the fourth game, Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Fighting Edition.
This is basically your standard side-scrolling beat-em-up, only without the ability to move "up and down" on the screen as you could in games like Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time or Batman Returns.Your character, one of the original five rangers (Jason, Kimberly, Zach, Billy and Trini) runs to the right, punching and kicking putties until he/she encounters the boss of the level.At that point, you morph into a Power Ranger and the boss vanishes from sight (without so much as a fight) and you continue to work your way through the next two-thirds of the level, this time armed with your specific power ranger weapon.
Sometimes you'll encounter a unique situation; level three places you in the sewers and storm drains of Angel Grove, forcing you to swim and crawl your way out.The second level drops you in a factory and makes you contend with machines and debris as you climb up a series of girders.But for the most part, you're just going to be running to the right and beating the heck out of putties.
Control is tight, the graphics are nice, and the music is... adequate.At least the sound effects are good.The only problem is that it's just not as fun as it should be - it's kind of repetitive.Okay, it's very repetitive.A greater variety of attacks would be nice, but you can only jump and attack, duck and attack, or stand and attack.Yes, you can throw your enemies, but that's as close as you get to anything different than just hitting the Y button hard and fast.A two-player option would've been a godsend... unfortunately, this is a one-player game, so you're going to have to go it alone.For the sake of some variety, at least you get to choose a new ranger for each level and partake of two Megazord fights towards the end of the game.
Ultimately, it's too repetitive and a little too easy to be great, especially with the password system allowing you continue from the level where you left off at any time.But serious fans of the original team will probably find a lot to like, because it's still an above-average action side-scroller.If you own an SNES and you love the Rangers, though, you could certainly do better; why not pick up Battle Racers or, better yet, The Movie instead?
