    It's a decent game, but it tires quickly. After a while I just got bored of smashing buildings. I do like the new monsters and all the little "extras," but it would be more fun if there were specific powers for each monster. I do like being able to show my kids the original for kicks.

    This game is mindless fun. It's entire premise isn't complex, there's no deep storyline, it's 'smash things up', and there are plenty of times in life when you need such a game. It is great fun in multiplayer too. The graphics may be rather primitive and the gameplay repetitive, and it's not hard multiplayer either, but it certainly rates higher than This game is mindless fun.

Don't pay more than £20 for it - as I write this it is £18 in Asda, and £15 on Amazon. You'll get your money's worth, especially with a couple of mates around.… Expand

    Without 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.

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

    The game started out pretty fresh and fun, however it quickly turned into something rather boring. The game is repetitive at times and there is hardly any challenge at all. Nevertheless, while it lasts, the game is slightly enjoyable, just not anything you’d play for more than a couple of hours.

    I actually kind of like this game. It's not perfect by any stretch. It's repetitive and limited but I still kind of like it. It isn't great but it isn't terrible either. Do not buy this game just because of this review. There are many people who dislike this game. You might be one of them so make sure you figure it out before purchasing.

    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.

    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.
