Editorial Review: Rampage World Tour is a fun remake of the old 1980s arcade classic. You are a mutated human who has grown to colossal size by an experiment gone wrong at the highly dubious Scumlabs International. In your newly formed mutated state, you play the part of one of three Godzilla-size monsters: Lizzy the Dinosaur, Ralph the Wolfman, or George the Gorilla. Your task is to eat as many civilians and to destroy as many cities as possible while on a rampage of revenge against Scumlabs.
As you travel around the world, climbing and smashing buildings, leaving destruction and carnage in your wake, the only thing standing between you and a festival of urban demolition is a paltry bunch of tanks, rocket-pack soldiers, and police cars. Even if these guys manage to take you down, they pose no real threat--the game offers unlimited replays.
What makes Rampage World Tour so addictive is the fun of punching holes in buildings, downing planes with a single kick, and cannonballing though the roof of the local courthouse. In two-player mode, you can also fight other monsters, but the main fun of the game is still to be found in unrelenting destruction of high-rises, hot dog stands, hospitals, and every other kind of building imaginable. In short, the game revolves around quick-and-dirty mass carnage.
The graphics are true to the original game's style while being a strong improvement over previous versions. The game interface is easy to learn, and phony news reports and the antics of Scumlabs scientists provide a humorous intermission between levels. So if you have ever wanted to grind the major landmarks of the planet under your heel and stomp out to sea, Rampage World Tour is for you. Allen Stewart
Pros:
Fun, cartoony, movie monster mayhem
You can work with or against a friend
Unlimited replays keep the focus on just having fun--not on winning levels
Punch through a wall, and screaming occupants or other treats may be revealed
Cons:
Gameplay is very repetitive
The cities tend to look alike
Very little plot
Customer Reviews:
A fun game... for the first 20 minutes!, June 6, 2002
Reviewer: Daniel Garcia Montes from all parts of Earth
This game was quite... what's a nice word for it... bad. I don't completely remember, but I think this game was given to me for a birthday present or something, so I do feel bad for whoever it was who gave it to me... what a waste of good money. Sure, at times it could be addicting, but it's way too repetitive and too long.
I think I'll sell it the first chance I get. I don't care what kind of games you like, don't get this one at all.

Reviewer: A gamer from Jersey City, NJ United States
We got this game for our son when he was four years old. He wanted to play with his cousin who was ten. This was is a good starter game for a child who had never used Playstation before. Rampage was easy enough for him to learn without getting frustrated. The repetition helped him learn the controls, the "lives" are unlimited and the graphics kept him interested. Now that he is six he still enjoys the game and he now has the dexterity to play more intricate games.

For the first 20 levels the game is better fun. All you do is destory buildings and eat people. Its a good game to play with a friend. The bad part is the game has over 150 levels. So that can get boring if you don't have a menory card.
