    The quarter crunching classic that has basically remained the same throughout the years finally changes just a Wii bit, but still not enough to draw in any new fans.

    There is still something incredibly satisfying about beating your buddy up until he shrinks down to a little naked person and then eating him for lunch.
  3. GameSpy

    It's not a triple-A title by any stretch -- with its gameplay quirks and audio that sounds recorded in a bus-station bathroom -- but it captures the sense of simple fun that Nintendo was shooting for with this new-fangled console.

    Shoehorning in the most basic of Wii motion-sensing controls isn't enough to make a clunky, repetitive game like Rampage fun--if anything, it just makes it more annoying.

    What's most disappointing, however, is how pitifully the game's "attitude" falls on its face. Every last unfunny quip issued by the traffic chopper, every painful Arnold Schwarzenegger impression, every ham-fisted racial stereotype is so poor that you can't help but wonder "what were they thinking?"
  6. DarkStation

    Midway tries to resurrect their fun Rampage franchise on the Wii and fails miserably. Get ready for some simplistic controls and extremely dated visuals.

    Rampage: Total Destruction is broken and a perfect example of how not to port a game to the Wii. (And then charge extra for it.)

The Wii version could have used a little more polish before it's release, but in my opinion, it fully captures the spirit of the old arcade classics. It's not for everyone, but if you need a quick dose of mindless destruction, this is your game.… Expand

    Without question, Midway could have done better. Total Destruction follows the Rampage pattern, letting you take out your bad day aggressionsWithout question, Midway could have done better. Total Destruction follows the Rampage pattern, letting you take out your bad day aggressions on all manner of architecture. The new gameplay mode is visually arresting and very engaging, but suffers from serious gameplay issues. The control schema applied to Total Destruction is sorely lacking in user friendliness; many moves require obscure button combinations or other movements, and the ability to tell the game exactly what you want to do is, in many cases, absent. The most you can do is suggest. Perhaps the most serious fault, however, lies in the game's "3D" depth-based game maps. Where previous versions of Rampage had one row of buildings in greater or lesser width, Total Destruction creates a three-dimensional "block" of buildings, with more buildings to destroy behind those in front. The problem comes in when you try to selectively attack structures; most of the time, you will not start climbing or beating on the right building. Similarly, attempting to counterattack when under fire from the military is haphazard at best. Now, on the plus side, someone at Midway was bright enough to include the previous versions of Rampage on the disc, and even the classic arcade Rampage looks and plays great on the Wii, even in multiplayer. In short, buy the game for the legacy versions, and give Total Destruction a try...just expect it to be more work and less entertaining than the installments you love from years gone by.… Expand
