When revived by Orochimaru, the First and Second were sent to fight the Third, however, we know today that: The First beat one of the most powerful ninjas in history (me), could heal himself without activating any special jutsu, could summon a freaking chakra sucking tree dragon. The Second had known (invented!!) Edo Tensei (meaning he could have broken free of Orochimaru's control), he also knew space-time ninjutsu. With those abilities, plus immortality, they couldn't have possibly lost against the Third at their full power. So in that case, why didn't they use their full power against the Third? Their emotions should have been completely erased, and made into a strict killing machine, and nothing more. Revived or not, they're still not the real deal.

Orochimaru surprisingly attacked Hidden Leaf while Chunin exams hold part in the village. He was disguised as Kazekage and his goal was to destroy the Leaf village. He ended up fighting his old master, the Third Hokage. Orochimaru managed to kill him but in return he lost both of his arms. That happened around episode 70 in Naruto(not shippuden). Third Hokage vs Orochimaru full fight Playing next. Naruto Shippuden 385-Orochimaru.
The Third was not fighting against the real Shodai and Nidaime. That would have been perhaps a completely different fight.

Besides, the fact that Orochimaru's Edo Tensei might not have been that perfect and powerful (perhaps less perfect than Kabuto's), makes me (and not just me) think he used it for the sentimental effect it would have had on the Third, i.e. Fighting against your predecessors, rather than actual relying on their (weakened) power only. I can think of two (2) theories about that:.
They could've kept some 'free will' to avoid using full force against a friendly, even though they were being controlled into. Perhaps their strength was enough to counter Orochimaru's control somewhat (but not enough to properly 'release' themselves from his control).
You see that, when summoned, one of the first things they did was 'ask for forgiveness' from Sarutobi, because they had to fight. It might be linked to the 'sacrificial bodies' Orochimaru used to summon them: By law of conservation, the 'package' cannot be forced to contain something that goes beyond their capacity, and thus limited the strength of First and Second. It was not a hard limit (the ninjas used were far inferior), but Orochimaru might be using THEIR full strength (but still be constraining First and Second's strength altogether). Suspension of Disbelief aside, it might be the reason 'why' they fought below their grade. That, or Sarutobi could manage both of them at once, but that's even more farfetched. For it to last 'forever', they must be involved in an 'non-stopping fight', and since dead people cannot feel pain, they might just be using all the chakra of the body, squeezing the muscles and bones out, until there is no more drop of it and, eventually, fall down, not because they are tired, but just because they cannot get any more chakra from the body (and begin 'draining' the summoner instead). It might take a lot of time, but perhaps if the fight drew longer, it could've happened.
