Very fun and addictive game, not without control issues.

This game has been quite a fun play - but it is hard (read: impossible) to control your character without the nunchuk, even though the game says that it can support using only the wii remote without the nunchuk. I think that without a nunchuk the characters movement is controlled by how you tilt the wii remote - and when you're smacking it up and down to smash buildings there's a bit of additional movement there, so the monsters end up getting stuck in the corners and all that "fun" stuff. Once I got the nunchuk hooked up, everything was great - and I started having lots of fun playing the game.

The gameplay is fun, probably not as fun as the original, but then I'm not 12 anymore either. There are quite a few "unlockables" that will keep you busy for awhile.

Graphics - fine, nothing amazing - it'd be nice if they had done them slightly better, but nonetheless it didn't detract from the overall game experience.

I think that this is a very fun game, especially if you have multiple players - it's fun to watch people play it too.

Rampage for Wii's controls could perhaps be a little more intuitive, so there is a slight learning curve. However, it's really addictive. There's lots of strange new beasts and special moves to unlock. Most fun with all 4 players.

What a way to work off your frustration!!

I bought this game for my son to go with his new Wii. At first we tried playing with just the Wii-mote. It was difficult to get my monster to go where I wanted him to go. The we plugged in the nunchuk and the real fun began. Like in the original game, the monsters can climb buildings, jump, smash things, grab objects and people out of windows for a health boosting snack and pound away on each other. This was one of my favorite arcade games and with the motion sensing remote, the Wii has brought the arcade into my living room.

Not only was this game a lot of fun, it was also half the price of the other games available for the Wii.

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!

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.

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.

Old school game - new school smashy

Who doesn't love smashing cities and eating people and kicking cars?
Same old arcade game of getting shot and eating and distroying everything but now with the Wii remote you SMASH and SWIPE and DESTROY!

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.

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.

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.
