What is this TV show?

I saw it in Toronto, Canada about ~8 years ago, on YTV (I think it was
YTV, the main TV station for kids/teens.)

This show is NOT animted - it is 'real' (all of it). The show is about
a bunch of regular teenagers who go into one of their basement, and
then get sucked into a computer 'game', where they drive
transformer-like vehicles, and can also merge them all together to
form a larger unit (just like in transformers.) They constantly battle
enemies like giant Godzilla-like villans in the 'arena' (it's like a
building with circuits running all throughout it.)

Thanks in advance! If you need any more details, then please just ask
and I will happily give them to you if I remember them!

I have been wondering what this show was called for many, MANY years now.

Thanks!

Could the show be ReBoot? ( ReBoot is animated though)

Could it be the (Mighty Morphin) Power Rangers?

"Often, before a monster is defeated, a monster will grow into
gigantic proportions, forcing the Power Rangers to use gigantic
(bio)mechanical machines known as Zords. In many cases, these Zords
can be combined to form a more advanced (and humanlike) machine, known
as a Megazord."

Not Power Rangers, and not Reboot (although I used to watch both, though.)

The show that I speak of is definitely much lesser known, otherwise I
would have already figured it out. Shows such as Power Rangers and
Reboot are fairly well known so I know them much better and therefore
remember them well; also, just like Beast Wars, etc.

Well, Code Lyoko is kinda like this, but it isn't live action...
http://www.tvtome.com/CodeLyoko/guide.html
Premiered in Canada on "YTV" on Saturday: September 11, 2004 at 8:30 A.M.

It's kinda a 2D cartoon with 3D digitizing affects... 

Well, that isn't 8 years ago. 

Other robot things are Voltron, but ... 8 years ago digitizing?
1997... This would probably be ahead of its time...

Animorphs is likely (1998)
http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/EpisodeGuideSummary/showid-3249/Animorphs/

websearch of: ytv 1997 site:www.tvtome.com
 is inconclusive.

This is a free comment.

I'm not 100% if it is 1997, though.

It's not precisely digitizing, either. I believe the effects were
similar to the ones in Power Rangers during the same period.

The show you are thinking of is called "Superhuman Samurai Cyber Squad"
