Smashing open windows one at a time is a safe bet and will allow you to snack on life-restoring goodies like hamburgers and doughnuts, but it also leaves your rump open to mortar rounds fired by the over-zealous soldiers below. You can destroy one in any number of ways. Whether you’ve chosen a giant chicken, mutated wolf, disgusting rat, a lizard, an ape or any number of other unlockable characters, you’ll need to follow the same basic strategy: beat up the buildings and scarf down their inhabitants while avoiding the threat local police and military forces provide.Ī building represents a challenge and it represents food. Pedestrians wander the streets beneath you (tasty and nutritious) while vehicles speed by and helicopters soar in the distance.

Rampage: Total Destruction was released several months back on the PlayStation 2 and GameCube platforms, but no one really seemed to notice.

That’s fun for a minute or two, and then you realize that just waving your arm up and down to keep doing the same thing mashing a button might have done isn’t particularly fun.
