My Take on the Game
I had the opportunity to review both the Nintendo WII and DS versions of this game and I have to tell you that if you are a Power Rangers fan, you will love these games. In both games the main objective is the same and many of the main features are the same. There are some differences in regards to overall graphics, but functionality and game play remain similar throughout. As you would guess one of the things that the WII does allow that the DS does not is the ability to play two players. This option is nice in my home where my kids always want to get in on the game play. My daughter really liked the fact that you could choose which Power Ranger that you wanted to be. Outside of this though the graphics were great in both versions. The WII captures some of the intricate nature of the graphics due to its ability to be on a larger screen format, but the DS holds its own as well. The music is fun and is a great backdrop for the gameplay and the levels and game itself was engaging and overall a ton of fun to play. This has provided my family with hours of fun already and we have only had it for a short period of time and I know that you will find this to be the same as well.
