“This is the first step for NAMCO BANDAI Games to create a new series of home console games based on the Power Rangers Samurai series controlled by Saban Brands. Power Rangers Samurai follows a new generation of five Rangers who must master the ancient Samurai Symbols of Power, which give them control over the elements of Fire, Water, Sky, Forest and Earth. Under the guidance of their all-knowing Samurai mentor, Ji, and with the aid of their devoted animal Zords (Lion, Dragon, Ape, Turtle and Bear), they battle to save Earth from the dark forces of the Netherworld led by the evil Master Xandred. “
Any video game that is born from the TV shows that my son watches is an instant like. I was thrilled to see the Power Rangers come back as I knew my older nephews had been fans, I was happy my son got to enjoy this updated version. The video game affords him the opportunity to become the ranger of his choice, something he does at home anyway. This is available for the Nintendo DS and Wii.
You can use your Samuraizer (DS Stylus, Wii Remote) to master the symbols and morph into your Ranger, then use that Ranger’s weapon to battle monsters. You can work with others to learn the basics of friendship and responsibility to overcome the tough challenges in the game – every parent loves those lessons for their kids!
The boys will love unlocking secret passageways and access secret levers to defeat the enemy and gain Megazord combinations – we have had several Megazords in our home toy collection, it is sure fun to get one in a video game!
My son thoroughly enjoyed this video game even though it is rated E 10 and he is 8 1/2. Again, playing a game with characters he knows is a plus for him and Power Rangers are a part of everyone’s youth. Recommended for all Power Ranger and martial arts fans!
Disclosure: We received this video game for review. All opinions are 100% our own and honest.
I think my son-in-law would love this. Thanks for the info!
