The popularity of “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” was at a fever pitch in the early 90s. Playing through this game evoked so much nostalgia and I really enjoyed the twists on the genre. The music is a wonderful compliment here that pulls in familiar themes, but has a whole lot of new to be heard. There’s a whole lot of sequel potential here, and I hope they come to fruition, because I’m eager for more of this. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind is the game Power Rangers fans have been waiting for.
God is a Geek: 8 / 10 by Sean Smith
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind is a warm dose of nostalgia, a highly amusing, varied and reverentially detailed step back in time.
Kakuchopurei: 50 / 100 by Jonathan Leo
While I'm no Power Rangers fan, aficionados of the series deserve better than this stock churned-out co-op beat-em-up that is less "Mighty" and more "Adequate". If you need a 90s beat-em-up with today's modern conveniences, you're better off with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge.
The main pros of the game
- Nostalgic Appeal: The game resonates with fans of the original Power Rangers series, featuring familiar characters, themes, and scenarios that evoke fond memories.

- More Zord and Megazord Variety: Users wanted more engaging and varied Zord battles, as well as the ability to use the Rangers' signature weapons outside of specific stages.
- Replayability: Many reviewers mentioned a lack of incentive to replay the game after completing it, as there are no substantial unlocks or new game modes to explore.
