Rampage 2: Universal Tour

"Run for your lives!"

A little while ago I was bored, really bored, so I went down to blockbuster to rent a game. I was using my own money so I wanted to rent a really good game. All the games that got good reviews were gone so being the teenager that I am I decided to take a chance on Rampage 2. Are we teens cursed?

Graphics: It could of been done on the snes. The game could of been more fun if it wasn't a side scroller. The items and people are blurry and it's really hard to tell if the items are helpful or deadly. The cinematics with the news anchor were horrible and stupid considering we know what the N64 can do. Overall three out of ten.

Sound and music: There are only three options here, go deaf, listen to music, or just turn the volume off and listen to nothing. I said the graphics could be done on the snes, well the sound could be done on the nes! Overall four and a half out of ten.

Fun factor: It's fun for a little while because you think you're good a it, but it turns out anybody who played it would be good at it. Multiplayer is the exact same thing except another person can help you stomp on buildings. six and a half out of ten.

Difficulty: So easy that you could play it if you had no fingers. Plus if you have three people playing at the same time it makes it way too easier. You can change the difficulty, but that doesn't help much. Overall four out of ten.

Learning curve: Jump up and hold down to crush buildings. Press the b button to punch and grab people. How simple is that? It could of been more complicated. Much more complicated. Overall four out of ten.

Replay value: You'll probably bring it back for a refund right away or bring it back to the movie store and demand your money back. Overall three out of ten.

Graphics-3(horrible)
sound and music-4.5(bad)
fun factor-6.5(the best feature)
difficulty-4 out of ten(way too easy)
learning curve-4(barney could teach this)
replay value-3(you'll get bored easy)
overall-4(not very good)

buy or rent-don't think about either
