Description

Rampage World Tour is a video game released in 1997 and is the second game in the Rampage series.

Rampage World Tour is a updated version of the classic Rampage. Rampage World Tour starts off at Scumlabs International where three lab technicians, George, Lizzy, and Ralph have mutated in an accident involving toxic waste. George has turned into a gigantic ape, Lizzy a gigantic lizard or dinosaur, and Ralph some sort of gigantic wolf. The three destroy the lab they previously worked at and then embark on a path of destruction encompassing the entire globe.

The player chooses one of these three characters and begins destroying buildings, eating civilians, knocking planes out of the sky, and stepping on tanks. The ultimate goal of the game is to rid the world of Scumlabs by traveling to the cities where they are located. Being creatures of such massive size, there are many cities that must be destroyed along the way. Scumlabs and the various militaries make it a priority to destroy you and optionally another player that can play simultaneously.

The graphics are worth noting as they are of a unique, colorful “cartoon” flavor. Gameplay includes players climb buildings while punching, kicking, and eating their inhabitants to destroy them. Once all the buildings for a particular stage have been destroyed, the stage is clear and players proceed to the next stage. Players can get many different kinds of power-ups that make them more powerful or restore health.

Rampage World Tour

Overview & History

Developed by Midway and released in 1997, Rampage World Tour revitalized the classic 1986 monster-smashing arcade formula with a comedic, globe-trotting narrative. Following the disastrous genetic experiments of the Scum Labs corporation, human test subjects George, Lizzie, and Ralph mutate into gargantuan beasts—a giant gorilla, a dinosaur-reptile, and a werewolf respectively. Unlike the original title, which looped through generic city levels, World Tour introduces a sprawling, non-linear campaign map. Players pilot their chosen monsters across the United States and eventually into international locations like London, Tokyo, and Moscow, obliterating Scum Labs facilities one crumbling skyscraper at a time while dodging military resistance, eating unfortunate pedestrians, and collecting junk food for health.

Gameplay Features & Mechanics

Retaining the signature side-scrolling, destructible 2D perspective, World Tour introduces expanded character movesets and interactive environmental hazards. Each monster features unique attributes: George delivers devastating punches, Lizzie excels with a crushing tail-sweep, and Ralph brings vicious claw-slashes and high-flying leaps. Players must completely demolish every building on a stage to progress, scaling facades to punch out windows, stomp roofs, and consume floating power-ups or unfortunate bystanders to replenish health. Military forces—ranging from standard infantry and tanks to helicopters and jet fighters—actively retaliate, firing endless projectiles that force players to dodge, catch thrown explosives, or duck into windows for cover. Hidden areas, bonus items, and specialized bosses add incredible depth, while the inclusion of frantic three-player simultaneous cooperative chaos makes destructive rampages uniquely rewarding.
