The game features 13 missions, played across 20 levels. MegaZord levels allow the player to customize the ThunderSaurus MegaZord with auxiliary Zords obtained from the puzzle levels. MegaZord battles also occur whenever an enemy enlarges to giant size. The player fights enemies as the three core rangers while meeting goals, such as finding and rescuing humans or defeating a number of monsters while the Black Ranger solves puzzles to free captured Zords.
Five characters are featured in the rangwr. An Xbox version was planned, but was cancelled during a E3 presentation.
