Rampage is the story of humans turned into giant monsters.  The options are Izzy, similar to Godzilla, and a King Kong character, of which name means nothing.You roam the city, destroying buildings, helicopters, bridges, trains, police cars, tanks, trunks, and eating people.  This sounds fun but the repetition quickly slows the game down.  There are in the neighborhood of 126 levels, all of which are similar except the occasional bridge or background change.Graphics: Decent.  The game has bombs, bullets, thunderbolts, and big guns shots at the monsters.  Buildings have nice texture and brick buildings V's. Steel buildings look good.  The animation is decent and open windows in buildings contain good and bad treasures.  You can eat people in the shower, eat coffee, get points, or get electrocuted or poisoned.  For the time, the graphics were great.  The game has not aged well and is dated.Sound: Weak.  The sound is repetitive and the same noises and cues are used throughout the game.  There is nothing special and the sound is the same the whole game.  Music is even worse.  Addictiveness: Me.  The game is fun and you smash things but after the first ten levels it becomes tedious.  The only real goal at the end is to finish the map and destroy the United States.  Outside of that, the game quickly slows down and turns into a grind with no real rewards or changes of scenery.  Story: Not great.  The story doesn't advance and there's no more plot line than something cooked up by 8 year oldies who wanted an excuse to knock down buildings and destroy things.Depth: Punch, jump, climb, eat, repeat.  That's it.  You can either punch or jump or eat things.  There is no depth and the first two minutes of the game are exactly the same as two hours into the game at the end.  Nothing is exciting and nothing really keeps a story moving.  It is superficial.Difficulty: Simple, unless you want to do it without dying at all.  You get unlimited lives so blast away and get killed over and over.  You can keep coming back until the mess is seen through.This game was fun as a kid.  All kids want to be huge and destroy cities.  It's what kids are made to do.  I enjoyed it when I was young and I spent time playing it.  Now, it's aged poorly, it's dated, and it's the same thing over and over.  Try it out, get a few laughs, and keep things moving.  The end isn't worth the time spent on it.
