Rampage: Total Destruction - Trailer [Nintendo Wii]
The big beatdown
Mutant mayhem hits the world's metropolises in the newest Rampage
The monsters of Midway are back, and they're more than a little cranky.
Features
- 40 unlockable monsters ready to destroy seven cities
- Includes classics Rampage and Rampage World Tour
- Four destructive game modes
Rampage: Total Destruction doesn't stray to far from the arcade monster that made the series popular: eat people and smash stuff.
Virtually everything in the Rampage: Total Destruction environments can be damaged, broken, and utterly destroyed.
Players move using the Control Stick on the Nunchuk controller.
The B Button makes your monsters jump, and you'll punch via the A Button. The Wii Remote controller's motion-sensing capabilities come into play for monster smashes, swings and combos. To smash cars, people and the ground or pound buildings with the monster's feet, flick the Wii Remote downward. Swiping across with the Wii Remote lets your monsters pick up cars or people on the road or mega-punch buildings.
Aided by power-ups, all monsters are capable of acquiring a number of upgrades throughout the course of a single campaign. In each city, you can earn special combo moves by completing objectives such as eating 10 mimes or finding certain food items in building windows.
Rampage: Total Destruction allows multiple players to compete or cooperate in all four game modes. Two can cooperate in the story mode Campaign, and up to four players can take part in Timed Run, King of the City and King of the World competitions. In each of the competitive modes, you can set that second player to be a computer opponent.
Bottom Line
Much of the gameplay in Rampage: Total Destruction is repetitive in nature (destroying stuff) with the difficulty changing as you progress. Smashing and swinging with movement of the Wii Remote controller, however, adds a fun twist to the arcade formula.
Released on November 14th 2006, this was a Nintendo Wii launch game. Published by Midway and developed by Pipeworks Software Inc.
