Rampage 2 Universal Tour - Nintendo 64 Review - HD

[@HagenFlachmann]

Rampage is always fun with some beer and a few friends.

[@TekMoliGy]

The rampage games are always fun for like 10 minutes and then it gets super boring because its the same thing over and over.

[@joselcontreras4574]

I never played the first one as a kid. R2 was my first Rampage experience. I actually think its great. I played this for years alone and with others. Fun times…

[@butterman0007]

Love the N64, thank you for showing us all the cool stuff you do.

[@MetroidFREAK21]

I absolutely love this franchise. Especially World Tour and Universal Tour. I own World Tour on my Sega Saturn, and I just bought Universal Tour for my N64 for less than $8 :)

[@MadMax052]

why...

[@MetroidFREAK21]

MadMax052 Because I grew up on these games. They are mindless fun and are so enjoyable :)

[@SqubaSquid]

This game brings back memories of my and my neighborhood friends all getting together on Saturday afternoons at one of our houses and playing 4 player N64 games. Goldeneye, Mario Party, Mario Kart, WCW vs. NWO and Rampage 2. Such good fucking times that even to this day, I still remember! I still have my N64 and I need to dust it off and get it working so I can have it for the drunken party nights.

[@ShaolinViolin]

I am a huge fanboy of the series and your criticism was 100% bang on

[@n64glennplant]

I’d still like to see an unreal engine 5 remake of this series - the physics and damage would be off the charts

[@NicoletteandEmma]

So...THIS is the game hollywood decided to make a movie about?

[@deathjoker666]

I enjoyed this game I only rented though. I collect retro games, I may get this. I already have World tour for the N64.

[@Jaceluyah442]

Shoutout to the background music which is from saltwater sport fishing lol

[@Harp00nX]

I've never been keen on this series, it's one i'm amazed escaped the 16 bit era as it's so simplistic, still each to their own I guess.

[@Rountree1985]

I wish they made a violent M rated Rampage game.

[@Bladeslingersgamepreserve]

If you remember correctly Glenn, the original Rampage World Tour was a popular rental for me and the bros, so when we discovered the sequel at the local video store, we instantly begged our mother to rent it for us.....and then we never rented it again. Even though the game was still the same bit of fun the original offered, me and the bros just couldn't get over the fact that you can't play as the original 3 monsters unless you unlock them. It was like not being about to play as DK or Diddy in DKC3. I did end up purchasing this title for my N64 but only because I still haven't found a copy of World Tour, which I still find odd since nearly every one of my friends as a kid had a copy of that game.

[@SpicyKarlAssessment]

Excellent stuff as always Glenn.

[@DevinGarrow]

I played this as a kid, and now I'm trying to get it on my gameboy color. I'm still willing to play this, and it's by far my personal favorite game for console. Can't wait to try the gameboy color version!

[@CPS2]

Didn't play that many console games then, no?

[@macAaronE]

With a little TLC this game could've been truly great. The concept is fun and engaging, but they really didn't do anything in the sequel outside of what feels like a re-skin. You're spot on here with the review.

[@hotdoggington6962]

Loved these games as a kid but I agree they don't hold up (besides the fantastic art by Brian Colin). They really should've been budget titles. You're so lumbering that there's no avoiding getting damage chipped away at you, and there's no variety in strategy. Would've been a million times better with more variety, different strategies for taking down different types of buildings the quickest, and better movement options to be able to potentially avoid damage.

[@kitsunemetal]

I thought this was a fun multiplayer game but I agree with you it wasn't worth the full retail price great review glenn ^_^

[@316whatupz]

My cousin and I used to play this back in the day. It is okay. I like World Tour more. Nice review, Glenn.

[@spidertaz82]

I played the original Rampage on Midway Arcade Origins and I didn't really care for the game very much. It was the same thing over and over again.

[@ThatBrunetteFromCali]

Looooooved this game as kid. Such a fun game

[@rajindersingh8730]

Jessica Cortez Totally

[@louschenn1798]

Loved the review very nostalgic! Was wanting to pick this up again for the memories but I think i'll pass. Great review i'll stick with my world tour! Cheers

[@superbroly64DS]

I think this game is pretty cool

[@jameshollingshead6492]

Curious. your opinion on the evercade system?

[@n64glennplant]

Never had one so can’t really comment my friend

[@davidclough5031]

I don't know why Midway doesn't approve four players when it comes to these games on N64 now if you look at a game like rampage total destruction for the GameCube and Wii that's the only rampage game that I know that has four player modes. Anyway great review man

[@RichtersShadow]

Nice review! Whatever happened to your top 5 videos, by the way?

[@ONormanO]

loved this game as a kid

[@InterbeingArt]

I'm surprised you didn't mention they go to space! Universal Tour is the best Rampage title imo. The one for GC rlly sucked, tho the animation sequences were dope.

[@BazTheStoryteller]

I remember Nintendo Official Magazine gave this a bad review. It only scored a 51% and the review said "The first Rampage was bad, this is worse!"

[@Larry]

Wasn't htere a third one through time as well? or wasn't that released on the N64. But these 90s Rampage games were made by Game Refuge who made stuff like General Chaos. They also did a kickstarter for a General Chaos sequel last year, but it failed. :( Shame really as they do have a unique style to their games.

[@davidclough5031]

You know I think the third one that you may be referring to as far as rampage I think that was for the PlayStation 1 I'm not quite sure but I think

[@thehorrorhound6575]

Larry Bundy Jr you’re thinking of rampage through time on the Ps1 and yeah it was pretty fun, I punched Pegasus out of the sky once. They would make another one called rampage total destruction which I had on the GameCube and like all the others it was fun with friends but you didn’t really wanna play alone but total destruction and through time saw a much larger roster. Trough time saw you being able to use 8 playable monsters, and total destruction had 40

[@JaredLowry]

Do you think there's another room on screen for four playable character? The original arcade had and three and that's just dumb reasoning on their part if they want ed it to be only three players. I agree with you there should have been more players on screen.

[@CrazyMetroid]

Nice vid, may I get the name of the song that you used in the intro to this video?

[@16BitBrothers]

Great review Glenn :-) sounds like full retail was overpriced !

[@NplhUk]

I got this and enjoyed it, but mainly because it had co-op mode. I would buy almost any game that was co-op on the N64 I am afraid!

[@thehorrorhound6575]

I’m a little disappointed you didn’t point out that there’s a 7th character in this game beside the 3 new ones and the 3 originals, and didn’t mention the alien invasion, the trip to the moon, the destruction of planets, the romance between Lizzie and myukus, I guess you didn’t get that far to see there’s actually a story this time eh?

[@n64glennplant]

I got to the bit with the guy from mars attacks who brings the mutant cattle which you need to eat in order to one hit take down any building in the game. then I quit

[@thehorrorhound6575]

N64 Glenn Plant damn. Well myukus was a fun character to play as. His special is he pops his eye out and throws it and it explodes lol

[@thehorrorhound6575]

N64 Glenn Plant also just wanna say it’s so cool you took time out of your day to reply to a comment on a video this old thank you 😊

[@n64glennplant]

no problem Cody, I try to respond to everyone where possible :)

[@thehorrorhound6575]

N64 Glenn Plant I discovered your videos last night and since I still have my n64 (I just so happened to be pulling an all nighter in space station Silicon Valley and super smash bros) I started binge watching as many as I could about games I own/ used to own or am curious about playing someday 👍🏻

[@st3vie91]

And now there gonna be a movie about the game. I really happy. Play this as child. I feel really old😂

[@n64glennplant]

Makes me feel old too!

[@oblivion8910]

just played this a while ago with a couple of friends its pretty good if u dont play for too long

[@Ernesto87]

At least it had some good cheat codes. There is one where you can play as Myukus and Purple Myukus

[@n64glennplant]

How amazingly big would it be if there was a secret “the rock” code the devs put in secretly all those years ago 😂

[@TrickyMist]

now they just gotta bring it on to xbox one as a backward compatible game. they brought the original version of rampage back.

[@jhereklast7851]

definitely seems like a cash grab. i never played this game but i played world tour... and it seems exactly the same. just with different skins ! thanks for these glenn

[@deathjoker666]

Today you can get it cheap. Amazon not including shipping used starting at $14.

[@316whatupz]

***** Even cheaper if you get Midway Arcade Treasures 2 for Gamecube, Xbox, and PS2....and it's the arcade one.

[@deathjoker666]

***** Yeah but I rather have it on the N64 though.

[@DreadclawDragodon]

Still better than Pokétrash

[@MrRetrostage]

Single player: Just boring. Multiplayer (3 player): very funny for an hour or so! I like to return to the game with my friends and because of the easy controls and the simple gameplay, you can't go wrong if you like "party games".

[@no64dd56]

I remember getting this game that came with a rolled up t-shirt with it. If you weren't a girl or a small child, it wouldn't fit!! They were all super small and now go for stupid money.

[@willman85]

I never played the arcade, but the gameplay looks so tedious and limited. What's the appeal?

[@TheCodedtestament]

Its fun for about an hour then you want to chuck it out the window.

[@purrelthehelper9215]

I remember playing this game when I was a 6-7 and now I'm 20 shet

[@DudeRetro]

Man you are really harsh on these games

[@J.Crooner]

This game looks like something that would of been on the Atari Jaguar vs the N64 from a visual standpoint. The arcade version is cool but I'd prefer Neo Geo's King of the Monsters series myself and not the SNES or Genesis ports only the Neo Geo home and arcade ports. Nothing is better than that when it comes to the fight of the millennium with the ultimate gargantuans that ever walked the earth. 💪😎💪

[@SuperDavidBrothers]

Again, much like the 1st game, I was expecting this game to be a 3D action packed game and not a bland average game (much blander than the 1st game). Also, I don't think it was worth it for Midway to translate an arcade game to a successful hardware console known for popular 3D games like Mario 64 and Banjo Kazooie all because it just translates terribly. Both of these games just shouldn't have been a thing at all.

[@mysteriosupafan]

Why is the white house in the snow haha confused lol

You're too crucial on this one... Sheesh... Did you have fun?...OHKAY...

Its a shame that the Rampage series is doomed to remain fun ...... in short bursts and short bursts only .

I bet they pissed off the programmers who made this game, so they werent able to really figure out the code and get 4 player support.

Sol Luna there’s more important things in life than getting worked up about old games that few people are bothered about these days 👍

Very disappointing sequel to awesome N64 game.

[@ashcomer5095]

Hard to see this as anything other than a cash grab. Back then we probably would have been pissed to buy this and find out it wasn't much of an expansion let alone a new game. Good vid btw.
