Picked this up last night at a Babbages (surprisingly, they didn't
overprice it too badly ;). Good God is this game ever fun!

It might not be the flashiest game in existence, but there's nothing
quite as fun as just completely destroying city after city, eating
their inhabitants, etc.

Here's my take: 1 (worst) - 10 (best)

Graphics: 8
The graphics do their job, and do it well. The PlayStation runs this
arcade translation _perfectly_ in the graphics department. Colors are
vibrant and well used, and the tile-based buildings and backgrounds
are diverse enough to keep the visuals interesting. Kicking a building
while holding on to it makes it wobble around, a quite cool effect.
Punching electrified things makes your character's skeleton glow just
like in cartoons. The slapstick humor of this game really shines
through in its graphics.

Sound: 7
The sounds from the arcade are all here (I think ;), but they seem to
be resampled at a slightly lower rate (particularly the narrative
woman's voice -- way too downsampled; sounds like she's in a can). The
music came with the arcade translation, too, and it's just like the
arcade's music. One thing that confuses me about Midway: these people
never seem to be able to figure out the audio portion of their game
discs right. If you put in the Williams/Midway arcade classics
collection (I think Volume 1, but it might be the Atari one), you get
the "Kabal Wins!...Jax Wins!...Sonya Wins!..." track from Mortal
Kombat Trilogy of all things! On Rampage World Tour's disc, there are
two audio tracks. Both are identical, and are the music played on the
first level of the game. Go fig.

Gameplay: 10
This plays just like the arcade game does, and the arcade game plays
amazingly well. This game is just fun. Even after playing twenty three
levels, I still found myself chuckling and laughing as tanks hit
George so hard the shot knocked him on his ass. There's enough variety
and hidden stuff in this game to keep one amused for many many hours
of play. Replay value? It's Rampage. It just gets harder as you go,
but even on level 1 it's still a blast to trash stuff.

Annoyances:
- Load time: Not bad, but not good either ;) Between configuration and
title screens there's a bit of a load, but it's not too bad. Loading
each level, though, is a bit long. And if you have auto-saving turned
on (to save your progress), it gets saved before loading starts, so
there's almost a thirty second wait from when the city's (level's)
name shows up to when the game actually starts. Ugh.

- Auto-save: By the way, how exactly do you resume a game on a higher
level later on? Auto-save saves stuff before each level, but when you
start a game it doesn't load off the card again. Ugh.

- Those crappy tanks!!! They're funny, but they're annoying at the
same time. You get hit _once_ by the things and you get sent flying
away. It's a _real_ pain in the butt to get close enough to those
little bastards to kill them, and even that takes three hits.

On the plus side, there appears to be no limit to how many times you
can continue. Heh-heh. If you wanna see the end of the game, you just
have to trash hundreds of cities, but it'll let you do it ;)

On the whole, this game is a blast. Check it out! But rent it before
you buy it -- I knew I'd like this game because I loved Rampage and
Rampage World Tour in the arcades and wanted the game at home ;)
