Publisher: Activision
Released: 1989
Rampage is an action game that was first released in the Arcade in 1986.
+ Stage structure is divided into different cities to aid progression, and the two-player mode is a fun high score battle.+ Includes all three monsters from the Arcade, and recognising what items harm or heal you requires quick thinking.
+ Graphics are a huge step up from the NES (1988) and Atari 7800 (1989) ports, with large sprites and great use of colour.
- Gameplay is mind-numbingly repetitive and there's barely anything new that gets introduced to keep you engrossed.
- Despite taking place in various cities, everything looks the same and the game offers little in the way of scenic variety.
- Grabbing onto buildings isn't always reliable and you need to be positioned perfectly in order to bash them.
- Only a single music track which is ill-fitting, and it's a shame more songs weren't written to compliment the locales.
