Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is a fighting game developed by Orion Technologies and published by Sega for the Sega CD. It was released in 1995 for both North America and Europe. Unlike the other games with the same name, this version is a FMV game in which footage of an episode from the show plays and buttons pop up for the player to press in order to complete each level.

Why It Doesn't Morph

  1. The gameplay is limited and repetitive.
  2. In some FMV games like Dragon's Lair or Space Ace, where if you wrong button, the footage will be different, here, the player hits the correct button, the footage of the episode plays exactly the same with the difference being hitting the wrong button will make a buzzing sound and lose health.
  3. There is no consistency with pressing the buttons correctly. At some parts of the game, the Rangers lose even though you have been pressing the correct buttons.
  4. False advertising: The back of the box says that it's not just a fighting game even though you don't directly control the Rangers' actions.
  5. The quality of the footage isn't great and makes you want to watch the actual show instead of playing this game.
  6. In order to play all of the levels, you have to play the game on the expert difficulty setting.
  7. Speaking of the expert difficulty, it's very unforgiving because the button prompts appear too fast and you lose health when you press the wrong button.
