Oh Power Rangers what have they done to you?
Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue is of course based off the show of the same name, with the main campaign forcusing on the Rise of the Titanium Ranger, and with every boss monster you defeat they become unlocked in a fighting mode known as Megazord Arena, but that is were the similarities with the show end, along with anything decent about the game.
In previous Power Ranger games you were given the chance to choose your Ranger, but in this game you're assigned a Ranger automatically with each stage, and what's worse they don't even acknowledge Carter, Ryan, Dania, Kelsey, Chad and Joel by name I mean even in the original MMPR Beat-em-up for the Super Nintendo they at least acknowledged Jason, Kim, Trini, Billy and Zack by name in the character select screen and allowed you to play as their pre-morphed forms. But here the rangers are simply refured to by their colors, and never once do you see them outside of costumes.
The worst part of the game is figuring out what to do, with a game based on the Power Rangers you'd expect to be going around fighting alien foot soldiers, and then take on a boss monster in a Zord battle, guess what they got half of that right, you do go around fighting alien soldiers, but you also have to rescue civilians or destroy a certain object to beat the level. The Zord Battles are a joke, which is made all the worse by a horrific control sceme. Controlling the Zords in vehical mode is a challenge in and of itself due to the stearing controls being so loose. Once you get into the Megazord, the game suddenly changes to a First Person Shooter, along with the control sceme, which is mutalated.
The worst part of this game is of course the graphics, even by N64 stadards the graphics in Lightspeed Rescue are a joke, looking more like cardboard cutouts, and the worst are the cutscenes, which are nothing more then comic book panels, I mean come on the N64 was capable of a more versital graphics engine, look at Super Mario 64 or Doom 64 for example, the graphics are almost on par with the PS1.
In the end, Lightspeed Rescue 64 is one only for the most hardcore fans of Power Rangers, who have to have every game in their collection, however for other gamers, it would be better to play the PS1 verson of this disaster
