Become Megazord!

You can already be a Japanese superhero with Kinect, and Ubisoft's PowerUp Heroes will transform your Avatar in a super being, but neither can quite quench the desire to become a Power Ranger. Perhaps Power Rangers: Samurai will do the trick.

Spotted at GAME and Play.com, the game is listed as 'Kinect compatible' so could be a sensor-exclusive title or simply 'Better with Kinect'. All we have to go on so far is Play.com's product description, which reads like this:

Power Rangers: Samurai brings a new generation of Rangers to life, as players utilize teamwork and the ancient Samurai Symbols of Power to battle the evil forces of the netherworld.

Based on Saban Brands' incredibly popular "Power Rangers Samurai", television programme, players of all ages will finally be able to join the Rangers as they physically immerse themselves into the morphing action of the iconic team of heroes.

Power Rangers: Samurai will let fans wield the Samuraizer to master the mystical elements of Fire, Water, Sky, Forest, and Earth as they morph into Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, or Pink Rangers. Martial arts training and fitness combined with team based battles teach the importance of working together, friendship, and responsibility to battle hordes of Nighlok monsters. Players can also unlock secret passageways, access hidden levels, and get hints on how to defeat the armies of evil while collecting enough Zords to gain the Samurai Megazord needed to take down the MegaMonster once and for all.

I would definitely get this if it was the original rangers with Tommy, green or white, either would work.
