The new game is out! You can find it at just about any retailer that carries Game Boy Color games! Here is a review.

This game is pretty good, better than the Lightspeed Rescue game in some areas. The levels are filled with Cyclobots (who don't look like Cyclobots at all), other creatures, and traps that will make your journey through time harder. While fighting, you can punch, use your Chrono Saber, or use your Vortex Blaster to aid you. The Chrono Saber and Vortex Blaster require energy, which will replenish by time or by a lighting bolt item you can pick up. There is a 9 minute time limit to each level, and when you pick up a clock item, the timer goes back.

At the end of each level there is a boss, some from the show and others made up for the game. Once you defeat the boss, you need to shoot it with your Vortex Bazooka. In order to do this, wait till the moving target lies on the mutant, then fire. Most, not all, monsters require two hits to defeat them. After that, they will either shrink or grow to Zord size.

To fight the grown monster, choose either the Time Force Megazord mode Red or mode Blue. Mode Red has a shield to deflect attacks, but is much slower than the mode Blue. Your energy bar (not life bar) increases by time or when you delfect an attack. At the halfway mark and over on the energy bar you can fire an attack. If you cannot defeat a mutant after a few tries, you will be able to use either the Shadow Force Megazord mode Red or mode Blue.

The final villain is Ransik, who is modeled after the early "Morbus" designs.

Comparison

• Ranger levels: PRTF. The "rescue the people" idea for PRLR was good, but was too easy (though the hard part was getting that gold medal!). In the TF game, the problem is not being able to save all the people or destroy all the Batlings, it is trying to make it through the level without losing all of your Rangers. Weapons wise I would have to say TF. I liked the fact you could pull out the Chrono Saber or Vector Blaster without having to find it in some supposedly "hidden" place. I like the fact you had to destroy the monster yourself in the TF game; it is better than watching the Rangers do it themselves in the LR game.
• Zord fights: This is hard one, so I would call it a tie, a CLOSE one. I actually liked the fighting better in the LR game, but other than that I liked the TF game. The fact that the Time Shadow comes when you need it was a good idea, instead of waiting until you beat all of the levels with a gold medal on the LR game. The zord formation was better in the LR, but the final attack is a tie.

Features -15 levels of action -Power Ranger and Megazord levels -Password Save -Only for Game Boy Color

Seems the world's in trouble again – but this time, it's all about saving history before it's erased…or something. The new team of Power Rangers can now morph into action, and warp through periods of history to eliminate the evil forces. Of course, you'll launch into the future to save that period, too…

The latest Power Rangers game is again being developed by Natsume, who has been responsible for the past Power Rangers titles on the Game Boy Color. Just looking at the screens and you can see that the latest title is heavily based on the engine used in Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue. Which means you'll spend a lot of time wandering through levels in classic brawler fashion – with nifty giant Megazord battles at the end of each round. And who doesn't like giant beasts fighting in the middle of town, eh?

Power Rangers never say die! Actually, that's the Goonies. But if Mikey were in the Green Ranger outfit, that's what he'd say, and it would be true. Even though the Might Morphin Power Rangers seems to be slipping off the radar quickly, they will never quit the good fight until every hairbrush-turned-monster is vanquished from the earth.

And so again, the Power Rangers, who would be in their late 20s now if they were still the original teens, are out for another mission. Something is amiss in the sands of time, and it's up to the Rangers to travel back and clean up the mess. The game is based on the newest series of Power Rangers, debuting early this year.

Looking into the future, we see Power Rangers Time Force fist-fighting the evil villains across incredible historic worlds on the Game Boy Color. There may even be secret bonus levels to earn skill for the fight. Power Rangers Time Force will make their way onto the Game Boy Color this fall.
