Rampage Total Destruction is one of those games that just seem right. But sadly, most people don't seem to think that.
Destroy, eat, unlock monster, complete challenges, upgrade monsters, beat up monsters, compete with monsters, all that stuff. The gameplay is very fun and simple. There's 32 monsters for you to unlock. You start out with 8 monsters, so that means there's 40 monsters you can play as. It's the apocalypse as we know it!
Controls 9/10
The controls are amazingly easy to use, but only if you have a nunchuck. The reason why the controls didn't get a 10 is because there are two things that could of been used differently. And those things are: The roar attack. You have to press A and B simutatiosly, and that usually leads you to ether jumping or punching, instead of roaring. They could of made it so that you could roar by pressing the Z or C button. The other thing is kicking. (while on the ground) they could of made it so you could press the Z or C button, but instead you have to hold down on the control stick and press A, which works, except for the fact that you cant aim where you want to kick easily.
Graphics 10/10
The graphics have truly been improved from the gamecube version. The graphics are very believable, and there the best graphics from any Rampage game.
Music 8/10
Yes, we all miss the old menu and block completion music from the GC version, but I guess the song was a little out of the style of the music. But other than that, the music is very well done, and there all really easy to remember.
Sound effects 9/10
The sound effects are what you could expect in a game where you can play as monsters. Burps, farts, crumbling, people screaming ect. ect.
Plot 4/10
Well, the plot is good at first, but once you beat it, it's like Midway just stuck a big middle finger right at you. I wont tell you the ending, but I assure you, you wont be happy.
Replay Value 10/10
You will be playing this game for days. Beating this game with 100% completion is a challenge, but you will have a heck of a time.
Extras 7/10
The extras are the original Rampage and Rampage World Tour arcade ports. As good as the games are, they were badly ported over. The sound effects sound hollow, and sometimes go directly to a bunch of glitchy sounds, and when you're done playing them, there's no music. The music is shut off in the game, no matter how much you toggle with the volume, the music is off. The only way to fix this is to reset the game. Another thnig that dissapoints me about the arcade ports is the fact you cant save your high scores. Of course, you could just make a score sheet and wright them down like I do.
Rent or buy?
Buy, definitely buy. Renting it would be a big waste of time and money. So just spend 30$ on the game, and own it. Once you buy this game, it will be one less thing that could possibly lead to a mid-life crisis.
