They really could have done more with this...

On the Plus Side:
It's $20, tops.
You do get to have a wide variety of monsters, and some of them have interesting quirks... you have to play it to see.
It takes the basic idea of the classic (which is included, along with the next generation world tour rampage, also a plus), and puts it into 21st century graphics, which are done well.
Control is pretty smooth. Nothing is worse than characters that are hard to control.
On the Minus Side:
This game has limited replay power. I really got bored before I completed the game (found all the monsters, etc.) The fundamental flaw to this game is they needed to put some more variety into the buildings, the enemies you face, even what your monsters do. At least with repetitive games like Ms Pac Man you cared about your score. I really didn't care after a while. Oh boy, another helicopter or tank to destroy, yawn.

In conclusion, I give it three stars because it's worth the twenty bucks, but you might just have enough fun renting it for a day, look online to get some hints on where to find the monsters, and smash some buildings up for the afternoon.

i was thinking to give four stars but...

Four stars could be the rate for this game, but i've played the original one in the arcades and i had it also the game that i used to play in my granpa's computer with my friend Dario, he always keep coming to play that game, that at that time rocked. Now the new and improved game is fantastic and the graphics, sound and gameplay is a blast, but is just the same kind of game from the late 80's, don't get me wrong the game is great, but the most incredible thing is that you can play the original one, the arcade version that looks incredibly great, but what made me put the fifth star (if it were possible i would have put the sixth one) was the possibility to play a new rampage that came after the original, that have incredible graphics, amazing for a "classic", and that you can look at it and think that this is a PS2 game on its own. If you like destruction and rampage, don't miss this game 'cause you'll love it but if you're a fan of the sims and you hate rampage and destruction maybe you'll like it after playing this title. The cutscenes, are made by the same people that made the incredibles, so it's like having the cutscenes from the world of the incredibles.

A Lot of Fun

My two boys (six and four)love this game. The graphics are great, and it's a lot of fun to be able to switch monsters and cities. It can get a bit monotonous after a while, though, and I'm not sure that kids much older would be too enthralled with it, since you're basically just knocking down building after building, over and over, although you can also do some other things, like destroy tanks, eat people, and knock down helicopters and planes. A fun diversion, but sort of simplistic.

Classic reinvented

Hmmm. A port from the 1980's. Avoid it like the plague, right? I thought so until I saw it demo'd at a video rental store.

The graphics are incredible! As buildings crumble, pillars become a bit misaligned, windows pop out of their frames, and debris crumbles in all directions. This is old school graphics. The animation stays crisp and cartoonishly awesome even in a blurry bitmapped polygon world.

Smashing buildings. Kicking tanks. Flinging helicopters from the sky. Eating policemen. Expect kids 6 to 12 to go Lord of the Flies for days.

Gameplay is simple if not a bit monotonous. Two player mode is available. There is a bit of frustration with the y and z dimensions. To kick a tank, for example, you have to be aligned just right on the street. This can be forgiven as a challenge of the game.

Overall, a massive improvement over the original. Definitely include it in your collection if you a fan of the 80's.

about as fun as twiddling your thumbs...

this game had great potential, i'm an old fan of the origonal, but it sucks big time. its mega boring and very one dimensional. the only good thing i can say about this game is that it costs about 20 bucks, which is a relative cheap mistake to make.

Repetitive

If you like the classic Rampage games then you'll love this one. They took Rampage to a higher level. It has some 3D look to it. Still not allowing you to Free Roam through a city like War of the Monsters does though, but it plays like the classics. Which is exactly what it was made to do. There are also 30 different monsters in the game. This is a great game to play and let out your rage. Why destroy something small in your house when you can put in Rampage and take out a whole city? I am a fan of the old Rampage games so I myself really enjoy this game.

Good game

For only [...] this game is a BARGAIN! I bought it for my 6 year old and he and I really enjoy this game. It's easy to learn and fun to play. You can collect a variety of monsters to play as and you can aquire different cities to roam and destroy things in (buildings, cars, helicopters, people, etc). I would definitely recommend this game. You'll love it, we did!

Rampage returns, better than ever. AND IT'S ONLY 20 BUCKS!

That's right, folks! This great game is only 20 bucks, which is amazing because it's a very good game. It has loads of personality, 30 giant monsters, and seven big cities to destroy. It's also the first Rampage in 3D. True, it's not a full scale environment, just a block at a time. But it's a very nice addition to the Rampage gameplay.

Since the game is only 20 dollars, you might think it's a throwaway. But actually, it's got surprising depth and flexibility. Each of the monsters handles much the same, except for slight variations that make them interesting. For instance, Leon the lion can really jump when he punches upward, so helicopters are easy prey. And Sheldon the turtle is slooow, but strong. Rojo the bull actually gets sick when he eats steak instead of getting back health.

The cities are varied in style and difficulty. Las Vegas is a cakewalk, but New York is tough to take down, what with tanks, bombers, and soldiers all over the place. Plus some huge buildings that can give even a monster a difficult time to smash. Gameplay has several modes. Campaign, King of the City, King of the World, and Timed.

An interesting aspect is the unlocking of power moves, monsters, and cities as you go. It gives the game a little more replayabililty, since you've got other things to think about than just smashing. An excellent game for the monster enthusiast and a great addition to the Rampage line.

Also, the game contains the original Rampage and Rampage: World Tour. So you're getting a lot for your money.

My only complaint: when you die and it's game over, it just stops. The game doesn't have you fall over or anything. It just flashes GAME OVER. Kind of anticlimactic, but hey, if that's the worst thing I can say, then I think we have a winner!

Pretty fun!

This is a fun mindless beat em' up game. You control giant monsters and destroy buildings, eat people, and smash vehicles. I'm glad Midway decided to remake this game with modern graphics. The graphics is nice and clean, the monsters moves and attacks with good animation effect. The sound effect is solid. Each monster(30 total) has a special attack too, mainly a 'roar' attack. You can climb the buildings from the front side, not just from the sides like old Rampage games.

One complaint I have is that some of the effects are too serious and not goofy and zany enough like old Rampage games. The humans that you eat lack that 'freaked out' face effect, when you die and shrink back to human form the 'embarrassed' face effect is lacking, etc....

The levels are pretty cool. As you progress to the next block/street of that level the building variety/difference is good enough to keep things fresh. This game is more fun with multi-players but single player is fun too. The original Rampage and Rampage World Tour game are included.

BTW if you use AV cable I recommend changing it to S-Video cable. It will make graphics MUCH sharper and better.

Overall a fun game and its twenty bucks.
