This game was a major disappointment. You just stand there swatting flies with the remote and they bang and bang and bang some more. No thought process, no skill level needed. You might as well get newspaper and chase flying bugs, your sure to have a better time than playing this game.

Deplorable

This game has got to be one of the top 5 WORST games I've ever played. The pure loathing I have for this games stems from the completely ridiculous control scheme that seems to have been designed by a brain-dead ostrich. It's 100% unusable. And to boot, the game play is awful as well. You take a simple concept like Rampage, and throw it into a 3D space with mediocre graphics and terrible mechanics, and what you're left with is a bad taste in your mouth. I wish I could give this a 0.

dissapointment

I was a big fan of the early rampage games. so when i rented this game i had high hopes of swiing the wii remote and destroying cities. but instead i spent the entire time trying to figure out the controls. the maps have a bit of depth to them this time around.. which would have been a great idea, but the controls are so bungled up it really hurts the game. i could not consistantly get my monster to move foreward and backward, or punch out a window instead of climbing to the other side of the building, or kick a bystandard instead of swiping the air. after about an hour of frustrated playing because i could not get the monster to do exactly what i wanted him to do i gave up. you may find you have a better experience, but i myself could not get past the horrible controls. if you rent this game, good luck!

This game will cause early arthritis! I felt like I was going mental playing this game, or at least my girlfriend told me I looked mental playing this game. The game play is completely boring, and the controlls with the controller is just waiving your hand up, down, and to the side; thus cause carpal tunnel syndrome. Please avoid this game at all cost!

Terrible presentation, gameplay, and controls. The control is especially hard to figure out and not intuitive at all. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS GAME!!!

This game is not fun - poorly implemented and dumb

This game is not fun at all. If you have fond memories of the original Rampage(s), you will be sorely disappointed. This game simply stinks - the controls are cruddy and the Wiimote functionality is tacked on. Moving around and destroying stuff should be fun, instead it is a confusing chore. To add insult to injury, the sound loops are boring and extremely repetitive.

The only highlight is the broad number of playable characters and fun graphics - but the gameplay stinks soooo much, it doesn't matter at all.

AVOID.

The idea is great, remake a classic game, but if you think about the original it wasn't so insanely great either. This is fun for the first 4 or 5 stages but when you realize that the game ISN'T going to change AT ALL you feel cheated out of your money you spend to have this trash sent to you and then mail back when you could have had a decent game to play during that whole while...

Don't bother.

Where Did the Arcade Game Go?

posted by BpBarrick (LOS ANGELES, CA) Feb 22, 2007

Having a Wii has been a blast, but to this day the most enthralling game for it so far has been, without a doubt, Wii Sports. I do my fitness every day. Seriously. What makes it so great? The simplicity of play wrapped around a great employment of the physics of the genre inspiring controller.

That being said, ever game for the Wii has been scrambling to shove this new controller style into a game they probably already had three quarters of the way done. This just makes for sloppy/frustrating gameplay. Rampage: Total Destruction is no exception.

I love the Rampage series. It was a great arcade game; be a monster, eat stuff, destroy a city. Simple. Fun. Not anymore.

The controls were beyond comprehension. Trying to turn your monster by moving the WiiMote in three dimensions just didn't work. Good luck trying to climb a building, or facing one for that matter. My friends and I were so excited for this game and it just turned out to be a big disappointment. I would have given it a 1, but at least they named it "Rampage".

They should have just released the arcade game, let us flip our WiiMotes sideways, and play until or destructive needs are satiated.

Don't bother renting this. Just go bowling.

I was a huge fan of the original video game. I am not happy with the wii version. It has the potential to be really fun, but am having an impossible time controlling it. To go away from camera, move controller toward you???

I have always loved "rampage". It was one of my favorite Quarter games back in the days of playing video games at the yearly circus/carnival.

I actually downloaded the Original from Sony on my PS3.. the classic is still one of my favorites of all time.

This game for the Wii, however....

The controls require you to hold the wii-mote facing the screen and then pointing up and down to move your character to and from (3d maps) and pressing A & B to jump & attack...

Sounds easy enough, but the controls are anything but.. extremely frustrating (wigling the wii-mote around) to use.

The game would have been several times more entertaining if they had either made it so you turned the wii-mote to the side (typical remote style) or made it so movement was attained with the Nunchuk.

.. the game deffinately needs a rehaul.

The original Rampage was so much fun. Just chaotic destruction. This one, was a huge dissapointment. The graphics are bad, (even for the wii) and the controls....wow....the motion sensing was incorporated very poorly and it's hard to even get your guy to move the way you want him to. SO GLAD I rented this first as I was going to buy it.

Not Designed for the Wii

posted by Enwardo (INDIAN TRAIL, NC) Jan 18, 2007

To sum up this Wii game one would have to say "nice try." This game very obviously was designed for all the other consoles. The game looks very nice, but the controls are the exact same as they were in the original release of Rampage on the 1st Nintendo; 1 punch button, 1 jump button. The guys at Nintendo tried to bring some Wiiness to the game by adding some Slash and Smash functionality by swinging the Wiimote, but it is buggy at best. Although this game does not work for the Wii, it was promising enough for me to add it back in my que for the PS3.

Very hard to move around, you tilt the Wiimote but it doesn't respond well, when I was having trouble with the controls I looked them up but even knowing the controls, and combos, doesn't make the game all that fun.

My boyfriend had played the arcade game and was very excited when we got this in the mail, but it didn't meet his expectations either. Would rather play it online for free.

Rampage. . .

What I didn't like at all about this game was; if you play one rampage game, you've played them all. Nothing is new in this game except a bad storyline and worse gameplay. Even with a large supply of 40 monsters, the game was weak.

This game was fun 20 years ago when I played it but not much has changed with the game while technology has made advances by leaps and bounds. Translation...step your game up.

Sloppy controls ruin otherwise good game

posted by DarkPope (SACRAMENTO, CA) Jul 8, 2007

While smashing buildings sounds like an excellent
way to work out some frustration, I finished this
game more stressed than when I began. Graphics are
good, sounds are all right and at times a little
amusing. Controls are awkward, counter-intuitive
and under-responsive. It is impossible to anything
with precision in this game; the sheer frustration
of just trying to move about the screen is enough
to drain any fun this game might otherwise offer.

I loved this game in the arcade, but very disappointed at the Wii version. The controls were awful, could barely control the character. I found myself playing the old versions that are found on the disc. I hope this is better on a better system. It could be so cool.

This game COULD have been fun if it didn't use the Wii controls and instead just stuck with classic controls.
Waving your arms around for every game just isn't necessary. And this is one game that doesn't do it right.

The game looks really good actually and I really did want it to be fun because I loved the old Rampage. But by the end I was just waiving my arm around frantically just to get it to do something.

Hampered by the controls

Many many years ago I enjoyed Rampage in the arcades. The makers of this game had the opportunity to update it and make it fun again.

They almost made it, but the controls completely hosed the game. I played the Wii version of this game and it was terrible. Some games translate well to the Wii controller, but this game did not. It's a pain to get anything done.

The single-player game is repetitive and boring, but (if the controls were better) I could see it being a lot of fun in multi-player.

Try this game on another system and in multiplayer. It could be a good party game.

This game is very similar to the original game in the sense that it is extremely repetative.
