Rampage Coming Back

Classic arcade game being brought to the PS2 and Gamecube by Midway will add new monsters and allow for upgrades as the game progresses.

Remember that classic arcade game known as Rampage, where you controlled monsters that fought each other and destroyed buildings? It’s coming back in spring 2006 as a new video game on the PS2 and GameCube systems from Midway for $19.95.

Rampage: Total Destruction, said Midway, offers a new look at the old classic game featuring monsters George, Lizzie and Ralph. It brings in a variety of new monsters to collect and play. Almost everything in the playing environment can be destroyed and monsters can acquire upgrades throughout the course of a game. Players can go one or two as they destroy cities all over the world.

“Fans of the Rampage series are in for a whole new level of mayhem in Rampage: Total Destruction” said Steven Allison, chief marketing officer, Midway. “While the game retains the core elements that made the Rampage series so popular, new mechanics and play modes make Rampage: Total Destruction a unique game experience for a great price.”
