So the PSX version of Rampage 2 has some notable differences compared to the N64 version. Besides obviously sharper graphics, the PSX version also has unique music for the European and Asian levels whereas the N64 version just re-uses the same music from the America levels. Lastly, the PSX version features a bunch of FMV’s that the N64 wasn’t capable of due to the storage size of the cartridges. Overall I’d say the PSX version is the winner here. As for the game itself, it’s very similar to the first Rampage title but one important difference is the limited lives in this sequel. Fortunately the healing items have also been buffed by a lot so it’s actually worthwhile to regain health. The mini-games should also be played as successfully as possible because you’re gonna need the extra lives
Also added was the Special Attack gauge...which I didn't see you use, for some reason. Bit of an odd choice, given that Boris in particular will ram into any size building and utterly destroy it in one hit with his attack.
I always loved rampage world tour on N64, but never got around to watching much of universal tour. Looks like more of the same great game generally speaking. Awesome. And yeah the PSX version's got better graphics!
Ah, got sent down memory lane just in time to catch this a few months late. I remember that USA cutscene so clearly, playin' as Ruby while my best friend played Boris. We did inevitable stop playing around like Jupiter as it just got too repetitive by that point. Go figure we'd quit right at the end.
Rampage has some of the most repetitive gameplay ever made. You can click almost anywhere on this video and in 10 seconds you've seen 99% of whats in the rest of it.
Even after rescuing my beloved George, Lizzie and Ralph (and Myukus too), I just had to continue playing (and trying to beat) Universal Tour with Ruby. "Dance with the one who brung ya," right? 🤗
And it took me far too long to realize that the city names on Orapheus are just weirdified versions of some of our own! Skinsonati = Cincinnati, Les Vegees = Las Vegas, Housteenk = Houston, Uranelphia = the worst city in the USA.... 😛 Aliens are such copycats. That's probably why you can go to _their_ planet, punch open _their_ buildings and still find _our_ food!
