Players choose one of the three original monsters to rescue. The player then uses the characters in the part of the world where the rescue is held. They work as a collective to break buildings, eat people, and destroy cars and this creates competition among players. When a player (literally) unlocks George, Lizzie, or Ralph, then they become playable characters. Once all the monsters are rescued, aliens begin to invade the earth, leaving the monsters the only ones who can save the planet they just helped partially destroy. After fending off the invasion on Earth, the monsters rescue Myukus (a cyclops-like alien) from Area 51 before chasing the aliens through space, destroying the aliens' bases throughout the Solar System and eventually rampaging through their homeworld.

Rampage 2: Universal Tour is a fun little romp where you have to destroy buildings in every city in order to rescue the protagonists from the original game, George, Lizzie and Ralph. Whether you decide to mash your buttons into mush or employ a specific strategy to finish the game, it's completely up to you. Either method is very much welcome.
Rampage really is one of those games with an "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" formula. I'm proud to say that's exactly what the developers did with this sequel, keeping everything fun about the original intact while adding their own wrinkle to it.
This is also one of the few games that allows 3 players but not four. Also this is the best rampage game. When you die you shrink down into a naked human which was hysterically funny for us as kids. We'd laugh tears and roll around on the floor. Then when the other player ate the naked guy we'd just lose it completely
In actuality, Rampage always feels like an arcade game in that it is extremely repetitive and probably best in small doses.
Unless, of course, it's a sleepover and you and your friends are determined to finish it TONIGHT, BEFORE MIDNIGHT, NO ONE SLEEPS UNTIL WE ARE DONE, GUYS
