Power Rangers Samurai Message Board

A portion of an NWR review...

...Power Rangers Samurai is a very basic and frustratingly dull release that hardly tries to bring the exciting world of the series to video game form. Everything feels like it was taken from the book of basics in game design and will do nothing to convince you to spend more time with the multicolor heroes and their crazy enemies.

An excerpt from NWR's review:

In the end, Power Rangers Samurai feels more like cash in on the popular series than an attempt at a worthwhile video game. The game does have some interesting mechanics to offer, though, and fans of the show may end up appreciating it more than I was able to if they overlook its lack of enemy and stage variety.

Here's a bit from the WiiLoveIt review:

The presentation values in Power Rangers Samurai could've used some more work in my eyes. Animations of characters running or pushing blocks usually looked a bit fuzzy, and the environments in the game feel basic as stated earlier. The images of the models on the Ranger Select screen look like they were done in Photoshop with a simple white stroke added to them. I thought the music was pretty fitting for the on-screen action, albeit nothing was memorable enough for me to take notice of. Also, it was nice that they included a voice clip here and there and even the Power Rangers theme song as per the license material.

Following the 10th Mission, you'll come up against the game's final boss which is hardly any different from all the other bosses you've fought before this. Considering that I was able to beat him on my first go, I found the 8th boss (Steeleto) more difficult -- which took me over five attempts. After witnessing the Credit Roll, no additional modes or stages are unlocked for play, making this a slightly short 10-mission adventure. Due to the somewhat repetitive nature of the levels, there's not really much motivation to return and earn maximum star ranks on each of the missions -- even if there are secret areas to hunt for using different characters. Sad to say, this just feels like another game to just "get through" with little to be taken away from the experience.

A portion of a Nintendo Life review...

Today’s Power Ranger fans may have parents who were fans themselves at one point long ago and whether you’re a fan new or old, Power Rangers Samurai has something to offer. While the littlest wannabes might find the challenge a bit too stiff, if those a bit older find the game nestled away in their stocking this Christmas, they might be chanting “Go Go Santa Claus” instead come Christmas morn.
