Okay, I recommend it but not really... I mean the graphics are very good, the iconic music is there, the gameplay isn't bad BUT, it feels lazy ! What I mean is that there aren't a lot of levels and you finish the game in barely 4 hours. (on easy) there aren't a lot of replayability, you can play with different rangers or online but it will always be the same. And the story feels rushed.
-Rangers all feel the same, an ultimate to clear the screen but no special move to differenciate them, there aren't a lot of possible action either, only the classics (punch, grab, jump, double jump which is not that useful, an uppercut, down smash and dive kick)
-Yes, the green ranger is playable once you finish the game but no, it doesn't change anything, he's the same as the others.
-No, the green ranger doesn't become the white ranger, the story stops WAY before that.
-Yes, there is a RPG system to boost the stats of every ranger (speed, attack and defense) but no, it doesn't change much even if maxed)
-Yes, the game has a zord and moto gameplay but it's kinda boring and difficult.
-Yes, you can play has the megazord but this is probably the worst part about the game, also the most frustrating thing about the game and I really wish they did not include it : dodge as much as you can and randomly at first, run towards enemy, smash X and A to try to charge your sword, you get the classic explosion inside the megazord when you're hit, it seems fun and original but it removes your charge meter making the fight longer. When the meter is full, call the sword and it's badly made so you just smash X until it's over, there's a lack of animation which makes this part really awkward.
There are tons of better beat'em all out there (thinking about Street of Rage 4, Double Dragon Gaiden (that one is so much fun), ninja turtles shredder's revenge or even splintered fate (kind of a beat'em all), ...)
Get it for the nostalgia at a very low price if you're interested.
I'll end this review by saying how sad I am this game turned out like this, it could have been so much more with a deeper gameplay, more levels, the white ranger and whatnot.
(I forgot to say, you can control the volume of the music and that's it, you can't even turn off the sound effects and the voices which becomes quickly annoying: I could use some help here... I could use some help here... I could use some help here... Okay, I get it !). So yeah, it feels like Digital Eclipse was really lazy.
