SNES Game Review: Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers

 In the early 1990's, there was a television show that transformed kids and made kids want to wake up early to watch.  Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers lasted 3 full seasons and made a lasting impact that still resonates today.  The same television show come up with a video game.  However, despite the show being terrific in the 90's, the video game.. well isn't as resonating and isn't as good.  There are some good aspects to it, and that is below.

Positives:

1. The original Power Rangers are there.  So they got the realism there, but they also have the look of every Power Ranger at that time.  So Jason is buffed up, Billy looks the nerd as he was in the show, Kimberly as an artistic gymnast, and so on. 

2. The music.  This is actually pretty good as well.  The morphing sequence graphic and music is pretty good as well. 

Neutral, more of an opinion: Play as Billy in this game.  It is absolutely hilarious the way he fights overall.

Negatives:

1. Oh boy where to start on this. Well the game is just slow.  Its pacing is just rough overall.  All of the pacing in this game from the fighting to movements is just slow overall.

2. The graphics otherwise are meh, not great or terrible just meh.  Which isn't a great thing if your game doesn't have many positives to begin with overall.

3. This game is actually pretty easy.  Which is fine, but when it is a beat-em-up with more movement than you would with a Mortal Kombat it would be better off with the difficulty being better overall.  This game really lacks a genuine flavor of anything overall that would make it unique. 

4. The sequel to this game, Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie, is actually better. Yeah.. that's pretty much how that seems to be overall.

Rating: Well seeing how much this struggled overall, the rating I would give for this game is likely around a 4 out of 10.  There just isn't much to this other than a below average beat-em-up game and for the SNES, there are far, far better games.  This game probably falls in around 500th overall of SNES games.
