Rampage: Total Destruction

Platform: GameCube, PlayStation 2
Publisher: Midway
Review Type: Looky
Version: Screenshot



Arcade updates rarely manage to recreate the magic of the original. But that doesn't keep us from hoping. Luckily for Midway, the Rampage formula isn't too hard to screw up. Rampage World Tour for the Nintendo 64 wasn't brilliant, but that didn't stop me and my college roommate from bashing buildings until dawn.

I initially panicked when I learned of the game's new playable characters -- fearing that the three classics Lizzie, George and Ralph had somehow been axed due to overzealous copyright enforcement. Luckily, this just isn't true. Faux-Godzilla, Pseudo-Kong return, in addition to the new mutants like Cal (seen above).

Fun fact: PlayStation 2 owners get the shaft on this bargain title. Only the GameCube release features a 4-player mode.
