Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind nails the look and feel of both Power Rangers and the classic arcade games it’s drawing inspiration from.

Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind is an enjoyable brawler that recalls the campy fun of the 1990s TV series, but frustrating vehicle segments and a short playtime hold it back.

As it stands now, Rita’s Rewind doesn’t shatter the genre’s mold. The action is a step above many contemporaries, but still falls prey to the genre’s inherent monotony and the Zord segments can be irritating at worst. But if you’re a ‘90s kid itching to pull out your Morpher one more time, Rita’s Rewind is the Rangers’ best cooperative outing to date.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind ultimately succeeds in delivering a nostalgic dose of fun that fans of the franchise are going to love.

Considering Power Rangers games have more often than not been middling-to-poor, Rita's Rewind is a pleasant surprise. It's been given a lump sum of love and attention from a development team at one with the source material. And, if its obvious polish wasn't enough, it's a game that really understands the arcade format and goes all out with dazzling Super Scaler action stages that work well to stave off the genre's naturally repetitive nature. There are a few aspects to the combat that could have been tweaked, but with its humour, lengthy 15-stage campaign, multiplayer hijinks, and heavy-duty '90s charm, Rita's Rewind is probably the best Power Rangers game we've ever played. It's pretty Morphinomenal.

With a few little tweaks and perhaps some additional content over time, Rita’s Rewind could really be a badge of honor. And even as it is now, it’s miles ahead of that Space Jam game.

Digital Eclipse perfectly capture that '90s retro beat-'em-up feel with Rita's Rewind, even if the non-beat-'em-up parts are lacking.

Even if its competitors do what it does better, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind is still a rollicking good time that no one will regret experiencing.

Rita's Rewind is a genuine delight from beginning to end. You'll likely beat the game within a couple of hours, but I had so much fun with it that I kept going back to various stages to try and beat challenges or to try and find the collectibles. I feel very confident in recommending this game, especially if you're a fan of the old school Mighty Morphin Power Rangers series.

Rita's Revenge is both a great beat 'em up and one of the best games based on the series. It could be criticized for being a bit short or for having more enemy variety, but its vehicle-based levels, 6-player co-op, and the thorough use of the original source material give it an edge that few Power Rangers games possess.
