Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid

The past few years has seen a boon in all things nostalgic, so much so that it has become a genre unto its own. The 80’s and the 90’s have been mined for all their goodies as the people who grew up in that time frame now have expendable income or children that they wish to show what they grew up with. This brought about a somewhat ill-advised Power Rangers movie trying to capitalize on that and wh...

If you’re looking for a solid fighting game, Power Rangers Battle For The Grid is definitely something you’ll want to try out for a while. But if you’re looking for the ULTIMATE Power Rangers fighting game experience. Or a fighting game that’ll last you a long time, this isn’t it.

We tell you, it’s a good game! It’s not average! It might have some problems here and there, but you have to admit it is a “Good” game.

At its core is something of a slick and wholly-accessible fighting game. Yet without the visual pizazz of the brand, a full, varied roster of characters, or a glut of exciting content to dive into, Battle for the Grid ultimately feels like the...

The history of Power Rangers games is sordid. Despite the franchise’s popularity over the last 26 years, no single release has risen above the typical licensed-game standard of mediocrity – and few even attain that level. Battle for the Grid has a few things going for it, like some decent animation and visuals for its characters, but the package as a whole is every bit as underwhelming as the Powe...

A Power Rangers fighting game is an idea that might sound stupid at first, but when you really think about it, might actually work if enough care is put into the project. Think about it: this is a long-running series featuring tons of martial arts, special effects, and ridiculously cheesy character designs. This is everything a fighting game needs in order to succeed. This is the main reason I was...
