Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue
Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue, développé par Natsume Co., Ltd. et édité par Fox Kids et THQ, est sorti le 26 juin 2000 sur Game Boy Color. Ce jeu de plates-formes en défilement latéral, mêlant également des éléments de hack 'n' slash et de beat 'em up, s'inspire de la série éponyme et propose les cinq Rangers comme personnages jouables, avec un système de sauvegarde par mot de passe. Les joueurs incarnent un membre de l'équipe Lightspeed Rescue, chargé de sauver des civils face à des monstres, de récupérer des power-ups et de piloter un Megazord, le tout à travers plusieurs modes et plus de vingt niveaux incluant de grands combats contre des créatures issues du show télévisé.
L'accueil critique fut mitigé, la presse soulignant par exemple chez Hot Games que le titre « may keep your little five-year old brother entertained », tandis que Da Gameboyz conseillait de le laisser sur l'étagère hors passion absolue pour la licence. De leur côté, certains joueurs sur Metacritic ont jugé l'expérience « very boring and very repetitive », ou l'ont qualifiée d'« amusingly awful official license cash-in » témoignant d'un manque d'effort de la part des développeurs.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« May keep your little five-year old brother entertained. »
« Unless you're a really hard-core Power Rangers' fan, I'd be leaving this game on the shelf. »
« Whether you're a 45 year-old rocket scientist or a five year-old monkey, this game sucks. »
« Don't buy this game for your children at Christmas! Instead, try buying something that is at once more fun and educational than Lightspeed Rescue, like a piece of driftwood or a bucket of small nails. »
« Atrociously inept, this is the perfect example to illustrate just how bad games can get. Utterly without merit. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« So just the little that i just not long played i can already tell you this game is very boring and very repetitive in ever way! The music isnt the best, the cutscenes are not at all interesting, the gameplay as far as i see is just basically the same (you do 2 missions where you run around and blast things with some attack you have and then the 3rd you do a boss battle with tank controls? This game is a hard pass for me! »
« Amusingly awful official license cash-in that the developers clearly assumed would sell thanks to the brand name and so made no effort whatsoever to create a playable game. Abysmal in every department. »
« So judging by the fact that the game is split into 3 different consoles with different developers, I'll have to rate each version of the game seperately. PS1 gets a 7, Game boy Color version gets a 6, while the N64 gets a 2. »
« This is the best game i've ever played IT IS FUN AND ENGAGING, its extremely good »
« La verdad que este juego me divirtió bastante y tiene un gameplay y gráficos aceptables. »
« I don't played but i know that a catastrophic game, its horrible, no hard work, only make and done, no love in production! »
« will save the world in the trash or I'll have to clear the zero challenge city gameplay and fought too worst game n64 losing to Superman 64 very scrotum game »
« Oh my god, Oh my god !!! What crap is this? this game was meant to be taken seriously? boogers ... goo ... only to see the title screen, you know the crap that comes around! this game only steals money from children! poor them ... »
