The object is still to destroy as many of Earth's cities as possible. The new mutants stomping the block--Curtis the rat, Boris the rhino, and Ruby the lobster--are every bit as hungry as their predecessors from the successful multiplatform Rampage series, and they're just as hacked off. In one-player mode, choose one of the mutants and devour your way through scores of Earth's most famous cities. Or link up with another Game Boy Color for an excellent two-player cooperative mode.

But beware while you're stomping buildings and cars and munching on the world's populace, because military forces are out to stop you. For extra points (and fun), smash the tanks, bombers, helicopters, and robots that come after you. The more people you snack on--soldiers and civilians alike--the healthier you'll stay. Mutants have to stick together, so rescue the aforementioned veteran monsters for special bonuses. --Bill Hutchens

Pros:

• Highly detailed cities
• Everything is breakable (which is a great stress reliever!)
• Lots of hidden surprises--be sure to smash and eat as much as possible

• 2-player mode is great, but arcade purists may miss the 3-way fun of the original version
