The idea was to keep the gameplay in its classic design, so players won't be able to walk around the back of buildings or free-roam through cities. Characters can walk into the street to pick up cars or traverse into the background in a very minimal amount to interact with buildings, which really is the extent of the 3D level design. All in all it seems like a perfect equation for a solid arcade title, though the entire package is crippled with some of the most clunky gameplay the series has yet to see.įor starters, Total Destruction continues to bank on the classic 2D feel of the original arcade, incorporating the 3D environments in levels that scroll primarily left and right, with only a small amount of depth to explore. In fact, the game's environments do the series justice as well, offering seven different major cities, teamed with fully destructible 3-D environments. Each character can also be upgraded, offering different skills that can be used in the Campaign mode, vs battle or various multiplayer scenarios. In fact, Rampage: Total Destruction includes an unprecedented cast of characters, headlining with the original stars of George, Lizzie and Ralph, along with more than 25 others to unlock. For Total Destruction, Midway tried to elaborate on what made Rampage a hit, banking on fully destructible environments, busy city streets ripe for the wrecking and above all else, monsters with serious attitude. Rampage: Total Destruction follows a similar formula to the original arcade classic, attempting to keep solid in its roots and progress on the somewhat basic gameplay of the 80's masterpiece. In the end, though, it just isn't worth the investment. It may be 3D, it may have over 25 characters, hell it's even $20.
While Rampage: Total Destruction has stuck to its side-scroller roots, it offers little to progress the series while managing to break a few high points along the way. Dozens of iterations swarmed the shelves, but nothing could hold up to the original mayhem of classic Rampage. As the industry evolved, however, Rampage didn't stand the test of time. It was basic, but it was a hell of a good time. Two monsters would enter an area, wreak havoc on an area, and move onto the next helpless city. The original arcade production gave gamers a platform for uninterrupted mindless destruction. The Rampage license has been a bit of a lost sheep over the last few generations of gaming.
