RAMPAGE

This game is fun at first. Its exciting that they decided to bring back an old classic. Heres the problem. Its the same thing over and over and over and over and...... you get the point. I guess the problem is that I'm not 7 anymore so it takes a game with more depth to keep my interest.

Not great

I recomend buying this game for any of the other systems you may own. The Wii controls are a disaster and you'll find yourself flailing your arms and not getting anything accomplished.

I call this a pass.

This game is entertaining the first few times through but I can't image that this can be entertaining too many times through. Its the same smashing buildings until your face turns blue.

For the purest

No complex strategies, no game lore, nothing educational: just pure destruction. My 10 year old and his pals enjoyed it immensely. It is only cartoon violence of the Bugs Bunny/Road Runner variety, so don't worry about warping a kid's mind too much.

Rampage....repeat

This is a fun game. The real problem with it is in its ultra-repetitive nature. Crush buildings, then go and crush buildings, then after that, find some buildings to crush. For 20 bucks its plenty fun, but if i had paid the typical $50 price tag of wii games, id have been a sad panda.

ehhh

Rampage is fun, a little hard to get the hang of at first. Perhaps I am too old for it, but I lost interest pretty quickly.

Kids played it for a few hrs and lost interest, despite their love for destruction

The title says it all: crappy 2 dimensional gameplay, lack of purpose, too much repetition makes for a crappy game.
We gave it away after 2 weeks.

We love non-reality violence!

This is a family game. It is violent, don't get me wrong. You smash buildings, cars, people and objects, but it's non-reality based. It is quite addictive! You can get all your frustrations out on some sap in a building...Yum Yum!

Good Game

The Wii Rampage is more fun since you can use the controller to hit the buildings and to jump on them. The background has nicer graphics and is 3D. But the levels are too short and the game is finished very quickly.

Great casual fun

Okay, lets get one thing out of the way right now. This is not a terribly engaging game and there's nothing overly impressive about it. You smash things, you eat people--that's about it. There is a little, but not much, variety throughout the game, and for the most part gameplay consists of just destroying various cities (which are, of course, different, but not overly so).

That having been said, this is quite an entertaining game. It's not something I'd play for hours on end and certainly more fun with another person, but it's great for releasing that pent-up aggression. And let's face it--part of the appeal of the Rampage franchise was always just the notion that you got to BE one of those huge monsters attacking a city.

The controls are adequate but not spectacular, though it's fun to swing the Wii remote around as you destroy helicopters and throw oil tankers into the side of buildings. I definitely wouldn't recommend it without the nunchuck, though--it's tough to control a monster's movement with the remote alone. There is kind of a weak story (with a very entertaining clip at the beginning) and objectives you have to meet in each city to beef up the gameplay a little, but mostly the game is just about breaking stuff. There are many new monsters to unlock as well, and I really enjoyed playings some of the new ones (read: giant chicken).

This game also has the classic Rampage and Rampage World Tour versions with it, so be prepared for a little nostalgia trip if you were into those games as well. In my opinion this is what a Wii game should be--a lot of fun without a huge time commitment or an overly detailed storyline.
