Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Handheld Game by Tiger Electronics

• LCD handheld game.

On the 18th, I managed to get ahold of 2 Tiger electronic LCD handheld games for $20 (total). Those games are a fresh version of Sonic 2 and a Power Rangers licensee. Sonic 2 was a blast when I learned how to play (See my review of that game for a full explanation). Power Rangers, on the other hand................Is a mixed bag.

The gameplay, at first, seems like a side-scrolling beat 'em up game. However, it also involves deep strategy, as you'll never know what your enemies may possibly do to attack. Either they jump-kick, or they stay on the ground and punch. As simple as it miiiight sound, playing it is a different story, but the result can be pretty fun. HOWEVER, it is nonetheless a difficult game. At first glance, your health would deplete practically rapidly.

As the game is already kinda hard, there are other aspects that make the whole thing a flawed experience. You can call in another Ranger, which is cool, but while he comes in to help kill bad guys, you have less room to maneuver. Another thing is that morphing ACTUALLY DAMAGES YOU! A signature feature from the Power Rangers, and it hurts you. That's just like that crappy Wolverine game for NES, in which taking out the title character's claws injures him! It's pathetic!

So that's Tiger's Power Rangers game for ya. It's not bad, but it isn't good. It bugs me how Amazon (and maybe ebay, too) offers this game at big prices compared to the Sonic 2 LCD game. And that game is much better (Although I WILL say this has better sound, considering there's no "music")
