Rampage: Total Destruction


Oh. the good old days, with games like pac-man, super mario brothers, and, one of my personal favorites, Rampage. You all know Rampage, Eating, and destroying everything that comes in your path is fair game.
Well, Midway has now released the closest thing Rampage has to a sequel, and it is called Rampage: Total destruction. and the point of the game is, you guessed it, destroying entire citys. Unfortanetley this is the games low point as well as the highpoint. on one hand destroying blocks of building and streets full of cars and people as a choice of 30, yes 30 different monsters, is very and i repeat very satisfying. on the other hand, this play can get very and i repeat very repetitive. but it will take quite a while to get repetitive with the selection of citys and monsters to choose from.
now, everyone knows that one of the most important things in Rampage is your monster. and yes, the werewolf, ape, and lizard were good and all. they just weren't good enough. fans wanted more, and, while they had to wait a really long time, they got more, 27 more to be exact. the new rosters of monsters has 27 new and different creatures, and they are as follows. there is a Ram, blowfish, squid, crocodile, shark, rat, lion, cyclops, bull, echidna, warthog, tortoise, king cobra, plant, yeti (who is named harry, after the yeti in the movie Harry and the Hendersons, points for Midway!) Armadillo, Nautilus, rock thing, Wildman, Jackalope, Demon, Invader, bat, Jellyfish, Ungulate, Alien, and a blob. yes, the variety is amazing. and they all have slightly differing speed, strength and jump ability they are all generally the same. And what really stinks about this that there is only four special attacks. they aren't any different for any monster, all the exact same attack that looks exactly the same, and takes the exact same time to do, For EVERY monster. this may not be a big deal, but come on, the game is all about destroying. wouldn't you want more than four ways to do it?
While this game has some minor flaws, it is still an awesome time at the core.
