Hilarious monsters and lots of cities to flatten. View larger.

corporation (operating under the guise of a harmless soft drink company). Your goal is to progress through a series of cities around the glove, and in the process, destroy as much of the cities as possible in an effort to locate all the other captive monsters. If that seems like too much to handle, first try the included bonus content that contains the original Rampage, and Rampage World Tour games.

Gameplay
Rampage Total Destruction features four main game modes. The first, is a campaign mode, where one or two players work to progressively take out cities around the world. In each city, the players destroy the city, unlock new characters, and unlock the four special abilities for each monster.

The second and third modes, King of the City, and King of the World, are competitive modes where up to four players compete. In King of the City, players strive to rule a city by dominating the most districts. King of the World is a series of King of the City competitions across various cities. Finally, the fourth mode, a time trial mode, exists where a player tries to destroy all the districts of a city in an allotted amount of time.

Rampage Total Destruction capitalizes on the previous Rampage releases by allowing you to play 30 different monsters, each with their own unique destructive attributes. When you feel the need to exercise those destructive tendencies, just choose one of the characters, proceed to roam through 7 major cities around the globe, and destroy everything in your path.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very fun and addictive game, not without control issues., December 26, 2006

This review is from: Rampage: Total Destruction (Video Game)

This game has been quite a fun play - but it is hard (read: impossible) to control your character without the nunchuk, even though the game says that it can support using only the wii remote without the nunchuk. I think that without a nunchuk the characters movement is controlled by how you tilt the wii remote - and when you're smacking it up and down to smash buildings there's a bit of additional movement there, so the monsters end up getting stuck in the corners and all that "fun" stuff. Once I got the nunchuk hooked up, everything was great - and I started having lots of fun playing the game.

The gameplay is fun, probably not as fun as the original, but then I'm not 12 anymore either. There are quite a few "unlockables" that will keep you busy for awhile.

Graphics - fine, nothing amazing - it'd be nice if they had done them slightly better, but nonetheless it didn't detract from the overall game experience.

I think that this is a very fun game, especially if you have multiple players - it's fun to watch people play it too.

This review is from: Rampage: Total Destruction (Video Game)

I bought this game for my son to go with his new Wii. At first we tried playing with just the Wii-mote. It was difficult to get my monster to go where I wanted him to go. The we plugged in the nunchuk and the real fun began. Like in the original game, the monsters can climb buildings, jump, smash things, grab objects and people out of windows for a health boosting snack and pound away on each other. This was one of my favorite arcade games and with the motion sensing remote, the Wii has brought the arcade into my living room.

Not only was this game a lot of fun, it was also half the price of the other games available for the Wii.

This review is from: Rampage: Total Destruction (Video Game)

Okay, lets get one thing out of the way right now. This is not a terribly engaging game and there's nothing overly impressive about it. You smash things, you eat people--that's about it. There is a little, but not much, variety throughout the game, and for the most part gameplay consists of just destroying various cities (which are, of course, different, but not overly so).

That having been said, this is quite an entertaining game. It's not something I'd play for hours on end and certainly more fun with another person, but it's great for releasing that pent-up aggression. And let's face it--part of the appeal of the Rampage franchise was always just the notion that you got to BE one of those huge monsters attacking a city.

The controls are adequate but not spectacular, though it's fun to swing the Wii remote around as you destroy helicopters and throw oil tankers into the side of buildings. I definitely wouldn't recommend it without the nunchuck, though--it's tough to control a monster's movement with the remote alone. There is kind of a weak story (with a very entertaining clip at the beginning) and objectives you have to meet in each city to beef up the gameplay a little, but mostly the game is just about breaking stuff. There are many new monsters to unlock as well, and I really enjoyed playings some of the new ones (read: giant chicken).

This game also has the classic Rampage and Rampage World Tour versions with it, so be prepared for a little nostalgia trip if you were into those games as well. In my opinion this is what a Wii game should be--a lot of fun without a huge time commitment or an overly detailed storyline.
