In this version of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the player has three basic attacks (one of which is accomplished by pressing the two action buttons simultaneously), a throw, and three special moves per character. The game consists of three game modes: a single-player story game which features a series of plot-based battles against an assortment of enemies, a single-player vs. game, and a two-player Link game in which two players battle each other using the link cable.

I remember owning this on the Game Gear and liking it. Playing it again in 2023 I can actually see why. It's an above average game gear. It's a fighting game that's a lot better than a two button fighter has any right to be. Despite the control limitations there are a few uniqe special moves each character has. A lot of the rangers play kinda the same and only their special moves really set them apart but the feel different enough. Besides the rangers though there is about 12-14 different playable characters on the roster which is pretty great for a game gear game. The story mode is your typical arcade style mode and vs mode if you just wanna hash it out against the cpu or a friend. The moment ot moment gameplay is much better than what I expected and the CPU even on easy can learn and match to your tactics. This is a pretty decent game if you wanna kill an hour or two for sure and you could do much worse on the game gear.
A solid, serviceable licensed game. It's 2D fighter that was probably about as good as any other on the handheld market back in its day. Still, I don't see much reason to play it nowadays unless you're a big Power Rangers fan.
