Rampage World Tour

"Oh joy! I can finnaly destroy Burbank!"

Rampage World Tour, a classic arcade game.

Gameplay 8/10
Destroy, eat, Destroy, eat, Destroy eat. Like all Rampage games, that's what you do. But I will describe the gameplay more deeply....well....sorda. You destroy buildings in a city, and once you destroy all of the buildings in that city, you advance to the next city. You can also eat things in the buildings, such as food. But be careful while eating stuff, allot things are harmful to your monster, such as Gasoline containers. Oh, and another thing you can do is choose between your 3 favorite monsters! George the ape, Lizzie the lizard, (Dinosaur?) and Ralph the Wolf. I think there's 128 cities that you can destroy. When you get to a ScumLabs level that you reach from a world tour, you can eat this purple toxic waste and turn into V.E.R.N.

Controls 9/10
Simple, very very simple. Use the control stick or the control pad to move (preferably the control pad) press the A button to jump, press the B button to punch, and press the Down C button to kick. When playing as V.E.R.N, use the control stick or control pad to fly where ever you want, press the Punch button to hit things, and press the kick button to shoot out fire.

Graphics 7/10
Well, these graphics are MUCH more understandable for an ol' arcade game, but not for a console capable of 3D graphics. The graphics are 2D, except for the monsters, they are a little 3D, but only a little.

Music 8/10
There isn't much, but they're pretty good. There's........5 tunes in the whole game I think. A majority of the music is ROCK N' ROLL.

Sound Effects 7/10
The sound effects fit the game, but there a little crappy sounding. The sound effects are: Monsters making noises, a women talking, large crowds of people screaming, a man or a women falling from a building, a building being punched, puking, a Robot walking, a giant pig with no legs hoping around, and the sound of the monster eating something. Of course there many other sounds, but that's most of them.

Plot 7/10
Three employees of a company called ScumLabs, have an accident with certain chemicals, and mutate into gigantic monsters, and want to get revenge on ScumLabs, so the trio decide to destroy city after city trying to find ScumLabs buildings.

Replay Value 7/10
If you're a Rampage fan like I am, then you will probably play this game more often. But this game is much more fun with more people.

Extras 0/10
What extras?

Rent or buy?
It's your choice, but I would buy it. Just paying a few dollars once instead of renting for a few dollars several times is allot less money to spend.
