Rampage World Tour review on the nintendo 64. Recorded using a dazzle and on original real console hardware and game cartridge.

[@gregoryberrycone]

i always loved the visual style of this game, nothing looks quite like it. definitely one of the top 10 most classic n64 games for me

[@theatom7264]

I think the graphics were meant to look dated to give it that retro arcade look. Rampage is a childhood favorite of mine. Universal tour was fun to.

[@cannedpainter9542]

Years later I still love this game in spite of those glaring flaws. I remember playing this when I was maybe six and I’m almost 30 and still think this game is awesome.

[@ImperatorScab]

Yes, this game isn't pretty to look at and yes, the sound is lacking. But man, this game is fun! This is a game that sits proudly in my collection and I still play it from time to time. (Yeah, in short bursts.) Now that I have kids of my own, it's a game we come back to often, actually. It's simplicity and instant action is appealing to my children, and I'm just happy to see them enjoy older games.

[@n64glennplant]

ImperatorScab its just a shame they didnt add 4 player support for this release, a 3 player game is odd on a console which has so many awesome 4 player games

[@ImperatorScab]

Totally agree!

[@demoh2o]

On this aspect, I give the developers some slack simply because there are only 3 monsters. Now maybe if they created a 4th monster for the console version that would made sense.

[@Immorpher]

Indeed it is very fun. My wife and I beat this on co-op.

[@tomatkinson4880]

Midway is the king of 4 player arcade couch gameplay.

[@craigjuan5744]

One of my friends who used to live next door, had Rampage: World Tour and that was one of our go to games for multiplayer fun. I remember my brother and I would go to our friends house, and spend about almost an hour playing it. We would kick each other in the nuts, just to mess with one another (in the game, of course) before seriously wrecking buildings and eating people. It's been almost 20 years since we last saw him. But man, this game brought forth so many wonderful memories. This is another game to add to my collection.

[@upthecatters86]

The nurse in this game was a constant source of sexual frustration for me at 12 years old

[@OscarR2D2]

I had this game back when it was out and I never had a problem with the graphics. I actually thought they were nice enough and it was good to see a 2D game when 3D was all the rage

[@thecosmicentity5597]

Man this was my childhood played this all the time

[@rmgb-tv]

I discovered your channel yesterday, and I'm gradually binge watching all of your reviews. Excellent stuff, just the sort of thing I look for in quality KZbin channel.

[@kazuhirala]

Friday night, lunchboxes, THIS GAME!!!

[@macAaronE]

This game was the perfect rental title. You knew exactly what you were going to get, and if you got bored with it you weren't out the full price of a game. Also, you didn't have to drop coin after coin after coin in the arcades to keep playing. I love Rampage.

[@VenusHeadTrap2]

I remember being in the living room with my brother and a friend and rampaging our way through the whole game in one sitting! Whenever I see this in the arcade I always play it for a short burst

[@n64glennplant]

Yeah it’s always great fir a retro nostalgia kick

[@Ivander85]

I love your content. The N64 is a big part of my childhood/youth and I recently fell in love with it again and I started collecting some more games. Your channel is just what I need. Too bad I picked probably the worst moment ever to add to my library. Corona has f'ed up the prices, damn...

[@WhatAboutTheGame]

I used to play this with my friends as a kid, it was pretty fun at a young age.

[@grand_wasabi5669]

This game was a reoccurring rental. I remember getting a kick out of the monsters making that silly smile and looking directly into the camera before running off into the level.

[@Mystemo]

I love this game and think the visuals have aged way better than most 3D games from this generation.

[@Peedos101]

I remember playing this game as a child with my brother, man did we have a blast every time we played it. It was a classic then, it's a classic now. It's on my list of memorable games

[@AEproductions89]

I played this game around the time it was originally released. I had never played or knew about the arcade machine. It was always a favourite of mine and even to this day I have memories of thinking the graphics were quite good! Love this game.

[@Davidovar34]

I loved playing as V.E.R.N. :D

[@mrGlitch2000]

I remember playing this game as a kid. Still got the cartridge and I remember playing the Arcade version in Spain too. Years ago, I sat down and completed the game on my own. All 120 days including some of the bonus levels without stopping except for the occasional breaks. The bonus levels are kick-ass in design when compared to the regular cities.

[@cyberkillerrr]

Looooooove this game! Me and my bro played this all weekends!

[@mikecrites8058]

I have this on a Gamecube Midway Arcade Classics Compilation.

[@kaidose]

Good game to play high or drunk with your friends.

[@cinnamondan4984]

My brother and I had been obsessed with this game for some reason

Looks beautiful, thanks Glenn

enjoyable review Glenn, loved the original in the arcades!

[@thatonesnake8102]

oh my god me and my friend would play this all day no worries at all

[@kameleonls1]

Hey glenn. This was a very fair review of this game. I enjoy the rampage games especially the NES version, being I grew up with it.

[@HarenchiFairy]

While game refuge develops the arcade, the PS1 version was handled by Midway Studios San Diego, and the n64 was handled by Saffire

[@brett6239]

Great version of this game. Played through it recently and really enjoyed it. Great game for just chilling out.

[@nocturned85]

bought it when it first came out, beat it once and didn't feel like going through it again with another character

[@rajindersingh8730]

Unbelievable! I use to play this on my Amstrad 464 back in the days! That is when you had to load it with a tape. I need to grab this!

[@n64glennplant]

+ImmaLittlePip indeed! Welcome

[@deathjoker666]

I remember playing this in arcades. Then when it came to the N64 I wanted this game. I like destroying buildings. The biggest flaw is the continues are infinite compared to the arcade version where you need quarters to continue but I got this on my N64 part of my retro collection.

[@DudeRetro]

I miss these games so much! I really wish they would remake this game

[@jorgedanielaguiar2936]

I remember that i played the NES rampage when i was a kid, i had fun and so. Many years later, when this game came out, i was quite excited about it, since in my previous experience i was very happy. While i did enjoy this game, i found it rather simple, too simple, like just renting a couple of days and forget about it. It was a nice video, congrats.

[@stephenmartinez1]

I used to play this game with my brothers years ago when we were just kids. It was awesome I remember

[@shaggymcdaniel3216]

I had lots of fun with this game on the N64 when me and my friends played together. I’m now interested in picking up a copy for the Sega Saturn. Too bad it’s only 2 player and not 3, like on the N64.

[@britforte3427]

I loved this game. Still do to this very day. I was always Ralph the wolf. Once in a blue I was lizzie or George

[@MetroidFREAK21]

I have the game on the Sega Saturn. I love this franchise. yes it does get a bit repetitive, but what game doesn't? I enjoy the mindless fun. The sequel is better in my opinion however

[@rajeshkhalanda4278]

Complete game in the Netherlands is for sale for about 20/30 euro's, not with the extra's but just the complete game with box etc.

[@n64glennplant]

cool to know thanks for sharing

[@OldsXCool]

I've always loved Rampage. It was the game I always ran to first in the arcade. I spent hours playing the great Sega Master System version back when I had one. When I found World Tour a few years ago, I was happy as a clam. The graphics look great to me :D I chose the PS1 version of World Tour due to better sound and I like the crispy look of the PS1 sprites. However Universal Tour on N64 is awesome and I want to get it. IMO it beats the pants of the PS1 version just for the music alone.

[@Digiflower5]

My dad would rent this for us at hollywood video. Good stuff :D

[@n64glennplant]

Great times

[@Digiflower5]

@@n64glennplant mhm I was like 6 too so I would try to tell my dad the game was fine even though it was T XD

[@mre2495]

The original NES Rampage is still my #1 betting item. If someone wants to bet me and they lose, they have to play the game from beginning to end. No bathroom breaks or anything till its over. There are things worse than death, this fits the criteria . The person having to play it becomes an interesting character plot study. Its like the game starts to become to painful to play. When givin the alternative of dragging your sack across a mile of hot coals and broken glass starts to become the better option, you know you've found the ultimate form of torture. I've damn near pissed myself laughing at the poor bastards having to do this. Good times...Hmm, might make a good you tube video.

[@Monhamd1000]

Surprisingly accurate to the arcade!

[@matthewsanders7470]

I grew up playing this game at my grandmas house so I'm biased but this games was fun when I was younger I love this game

[@71dembonesTV]

This was one of the first games I specifically looked for once I started collecting games again 7 or so years ago. We rented it a few times when I was a kid and it really stuck out

[@n64glennplant]

and now you have the movie to look forward too :)

[@71dembonesTV]

N64 Glenn Plant yeah I just heard about that. I don't have high hopes as it seems most movies that come out nowadays are trash. But maybe it will surprise me

[@user-account-not-found]

This is one of the best games ever made during this generation.

[@masonbaker2377]

I think it looks amazing!

[@sheckylee5760]

Good game, I remember playing co-op with my bro and going over day 100! It does get pretty repetitive, but still a fun N64 novelty i'd say :)

[@Bladeslingersgamepreserve]

One of my favorites as a kid. It was a good rental but not strong enough for a purchase. Though these days I do plan to pick it up.

[@n64glennplant]

yeah its the perfect friday night sleepover game when i was a kid, turn it on and then switch your mind off :)

[@Bladeslingersgamepreserve]

Back in my day, this was one of the most popular rentals me and my brothers would pick up for the weekend and that's how I think the game is best played. In a small session, saturday night, with all of your buddies as a warm up for the heavy hitters like Goldeneye and Smash Bros. I give it a 6 out of 10. Slightly above average.

[@flymeetspaddle]

used to rent it from blockbuster all the time when i was a kid

[@josephchaparro1037]

I rented it from Blockbuster back on the day it was a fun game but I've never owned it.

[@Guido-vj7so]

This was awesome, played this game a lot. Is there a modern version of this?

[@jes2276]

i enjoyed this game. It was an upgrade for me because I had been playing Rampage on the commodore before this.

[@TheRepoMan360]

This was a sleepover must. It was a fun game that didn't get too competitive. Would you consider reviewing the N64 Passport Plus III? It's seems like a great solution for anyone that wants to play import games and I'd love to see what you think.

[@goon5544]

I got rampage for nes and felt that even as an nes game it was repetitive and got bored with it quick so knew to pass on it when it was on the 64. I was actually surprised they were still releasing games with that low depth by the time of nintendo 64. Kind of want to give it a shot now but know its entertainment value will be short lived.

[@n64glennplant]

That’s completely true

[@lachygonzalez]

I love the soundtrack to this game!

[@NeoGeo1983]

Hey Glenn, who does your motion graphics? They're pretty awesome.

[@DeadOmega]

Game is great with a friend or two. Many chortles occurred when eating a friend that reverted back to human form. This is one of the rare co-op / competitive games out there.

[@FlyingV555]

I played this game at a neighbor's house two years ago and I thought it was awesome and no one can say otherwise.

[@thechosen1992]

Memories

[@n64glennplant]

yeah remember that time the rock showed up.... :D

[@MadPanicGaming]

I'd actually played the PS1 version when I was maybe 13 years old, I enjoyed it, though it only held my attention for a few hours before I moved onto something else.

[@masterroshi4750]

i feel sad that people have forgotten about this awsome game

[@SuperDavidBrothers]

At first when I have heard of this game, I honestly thought that this was a 3D platformer instead of a boring looking 2D game and a violent 2D game also. I have never once played or heard of this game at all until a few years ago when the movie came out with Dwayne Johnson and man is the movie so so much better than the game here. Not only does it have Dwayne Johnson, but it has the gorilla smashing buildings in live-action form and the military is trying to stop him from doing so. Not to mention in this game (or at least in this review of the game) I didn't see a single sign of the wolf or crocodile like in the arcade version or even the movie so again the movie wins between both the arcade game and the N64 game because it's live-action violence, there's no lag or boredom (because it's a movie and not a game), and it has Dwayne the Rock Johnson who used to be a wrestler!

[@xPORTALWALKERx]

.......I think this game looks good

[@lurkerrekrul]

I've always liked the Rampage games, but I don't last very long at them. In particular, I have trouble attaching to buildings when I want to and I can never seem to keep my health up. I had some fun with the N64 games. I've never played the arcade versions of any Rampage game, so I had no expectation as to the graphics. I thought that they were OK, especially considering that I've only played home versions of the original game before. One thing though; Sometimes I'd be on the side of a building, a human would pop up in a window on that side and start shooting me, but even though they're in the window closest to me, they'd be on the far side of the window and I wouldn't be able to reach them. So I'd just have to ignore them and let them keep shooting me, with no way to get rid of them. I found that kind of unfair. EDIT: Maybe that happened in the second game. They've kind of blurred together in my memory.

[@ViniVHSoares1993]

This game is repetitive really repetitive, but it's so simple and straight forward that is addictive just like the arcade games at the time the first rampage was released, plus it's always fun to destroy everything in your sight and the multiplayer it's another strong point to this game.

[@Xanatos21]

This game was awesome! Granted, the graphics and sounds have not aged well, but for what it is, it is very fun! I also love the sequel, "Rampage: Universal Tour".

[@ConkerTheCat]

I had this game on my N64 as a kid, I never played the arcade game. I didnt need to, as I loved thios game. It was mindless fun, every time I smashed a window I wondered what would be in there for my char to eat or smash, as the lvls went on I loved seeing the new things trying to kill me. I liked playing with another friend but I perfed to play alone sometimes just so I could smash everything. This game is good old fashion mindless fun, and I love it. I would suggest this game for ANYONE who wants to have a good time destroying the world :3

[@n64glennplant]

Great points it's all about mindless fun!

i just hate when they give you infinite continues in games. it completely takes away the need to constantly improve, making it a little further each time you play. i was kind of excited to try this out until i heard him say infinite continues.

[@puflio1]

awesome

[@chrisbg99]

Yeah by time the 32/64 bit era started I don't think people were all that keen on arcade ports without much more to offer outside of the main game. Well other than fighters. But yet trying to update the game could have (and judging by most previous attempts would have) ended up with a game that only somewhat resembles Rampage. Kind of a pickle I must say.

[@HagenFlachmann]

I actually really like the game but singleplayer is really a no go. Does anybody remember Rampage: Total Destruction on the Gamecube? That one was quite fun too and it even included arcade versions of the original and world tour.

[@yuripetrovic7606]

I traded a friend at school a game that was way, waaaaay better than Ramoage simply because I had the same 2 or so games for years and needed something new. I remember instantly realizing the game wasn't as good but by then you have to deal with it. I alsj remember ot being better and better and better rhe more I found myself playing it and uncovering all the little easter eggs and mastering strategies until I beat it. Very solid game, but not something you should compare to Mario 64, Starfox 64, Kirby 64, etc.
