User Ratings Can Change Rankings
The current order isn’t set in stone and is based on each game’s overall User Rating, which means that things can change in real-time. So, if you haven’t had a chance to share your thoughts on some of your favourites yet and you want to get involved, you can click on the Star Rating of any of the following games and rate it out of 10. Who knows, you might even change the list order with your vote.
Without further ado, let’s see the power (rangers) rankings as they currently stand…
N64 Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue
Publisher: THQ / Developer: Mass Media
Release Date: 28th Sep 2000 (USA) / 8th Dec 2000 (UK/EU)
The first 3D Power Rangers entry on a Nintendo console, the N64 version of Lightspeed Rescue combines isometric Ranger sequences with side-scrolling driving levels. Both gameplay modes take place in large, empty-feeling open spaces, complete with clumsy animations, repeated sound effects and similar collection missions.
Two-player co-op is a bonus, mind you, and it’s refreshing to see the series veer slightly from the straight beat ’em up format.
3DS Power Rangers Megaforce
Publisher: Bandai Namco / Developer: Seventh Chord
Release Date: 5th Nov 2013 (USA) / 29th Nov 2013 (UK/EU)
Power Rangers Megaforce isn’t just a bad game — though it most assuredly is a bad game — it’s also downright broken in places. While the license and fully-voiced dialog might rope in fans of the show, there’s no escaping the fact that this should not have seen a retail release in this form. The game crashes, the card-scanning feature doesn’t work, and the soundbites loop long beyond the point of insanity, very quickly becoming the video game equivalent of “Stop hitting yourself.”
3DS Power Rangers Super Megaforce
Publisher: Bandai Namco / Developer: Bandai Namco
Release Date: 28th Oct 2014 (USA) / 23rd Oct 2014 (UK/EU)
Power Rangers Super Megaforce is an oxymoronic title, to say the least: it’s a tedious, boring, and broken mess that feels like it was not only rushed but made without a single shred of enthusiasm or passion. Even if you’re a fan of the series, there’s not enough to entertain you to make this a worthwhile purchase.
