If you grew up watching Power Rangers: Time Force, this GBA game is pure nostalgia fuel. You jump right into the action as the Time Force Rangers, slashing through enemies with your blaster or sword—depends which Ranger you pick. The side-scrolling beat 'em up style feels classic, like those old arcade brawlers, but with way more flashy morphing sequences.

What surprised me was how much it actually feels like the show. The sprites are colorful and chunky, and you’ve got all the signature moves—like Jen’s pink energy blasts or Wes going full samurai mode. Some levels throw in time-travel gimmicks, like fighting robot dinosaurs in the past, which keeps it from feeling repetitive. Just don’t expect deep combat—it’s mostly button-mashing, but sometimes that’s exactly what you want from a Power Rangers game.

Fair warning: the difficulty spikes hard in later levels, especially against bosses. But hey, that’s what save states are for. If you’re into licensed games that don’t half-ass the fan service, this one’s a solid time capsule.
