Rampage was originally released in 1986 and put you in control of one of three monsters as they "rampaged" about the country smashing buildings or eating people. Rampage World Tour was released in 1997 and let you do the same thing, as did 2006's Rampage: Total Destruction. If you somehow haven't gotten your fill of smashing buildings, Midway has brought Rampage World Tour to the PlayStation Store for $4.99. It's still an enjoyable game when played with friends, but the fun will be short-lived because the game's formula has gotten old, and Midway has done little with this version to keep it fresh.

History shows again and again how nature points up the folly of men.

Rampage World Tour is a faithful port of the arcade game. You and up to two other people can play as humans-turned-monsters George (a giant ape), Ralph (a giant werewolf), or Lizzie (a giant lizard). It's nearly impossible to follow the story, but all you need to know is that you'll want to smash the labs that were responsible for your transformation. While you're at it, you'll destroy just about every major city on the globe: Chicago, Madrid, San Francisco, Rome, Budapest...nobody is safe.

The goal of each level is to destroy everything in it. You do this by climbing buildings and punching or kicking them as you climb. You can also jump up and down on top of a building to bring it down. Hidden in each building are power-ups, as well as hazards. You can chomp on some turkey to get your health back, but you might not want to punch that toilet unless you want to get sprayed in the face. You'll also want to be careful when punching signs--they'll give you a painful shock. People can also be eaten, which is great fun. Needless to say the residents in the cities aren't thrilled about you wreaking havoc. Helicopters, planes, and jets will all do their best to take you down from the sky while tanks, police, robots, and soldiers with rocket launchers will let you have it from the ground. Fortunately for you, they can all be destroyed with a quick punch or kick.
