I really loved this game growing up and played it a lot. Power Rangers beat um up is a winning formula. Lots of characters with a variety of moves. However, playing this a year ago i was really expecting to love this game again but I was shocked at how bad it really is. The moveset of the rangers is really limited. Gameplay is really really bad. While the stages are nice and varied the same can not be said for everything else. There is only a single enemy type for like 2/3 the game. A basic Ooze warrior. No different color variants or weapon variants like a turtles foot soldiers. Just the same sprite and enemy AI over and over again. Fighting them is really weak to. Enemies have huge amount of health. So what you wanna do is your normal bread and butter combo as that does the most damage and is you know fun. The problem is that the grab range is super generous and you are constantly grabbing enemies when you just wanna pummel. When grabbing an enemy there is nothing to do but throw them. Throwing does so little damage making it a waste of time but you keep doing it cause you keep grabbing them. Annoying. Then you will eventually reach a flashback stage and fight some new enemies for a stage or two. You'll thank god for something new but then after wards it's straight back too ooze men. Every once in awhile you'll fight a boss with a zord and the cutscenes and music set the mood but it's not much better gameplay wise but at this point any varity is a blessing.
