About Rampage 2: Universal Tour
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.

A chaotic monster-smashing sequel that critics found improved but repetitive, with a big-box edition that sells for far more than a standard copy.
This is the Nintendo 64 version of Rampage 2: Universal Tour, the third game in the Rampage series and a sequel to Rampage World Tour. Avalanche Software developed it and Midway published it, with North America getting it on March 31, 1999 and Europe in May. Compared with the PlayStation version, the N64 game drops the full-motion-video cutscenes, and it reuses the North American levels' music for the European and Asian levels.
Electronic Gaming Monthly's review in May 1999 called the N64 version an improvement on older Rampage games, while admitting it keeps some of the repetitive play the series is known for.
What the press said at the time
| Game Informer Issue 72 | April 1999 | Overall: 4.75 / 5 / 5 |
| Electronic Gaming Monthly Issue 118 | May 1999 | Visuals 6 / Sound 5 / Ingenuity 3 / Replay 5 |
| GameRevolution | D | |
| GameSpot | 4.2/10 | |
| IGN | 5.3/10 | |
| Nintendo Power | 7.4/10 | |
| GameRankings (aggregate) | 57% |
“Rampage 2 has come up with some decent new features, but overall this game has lost its luster and may need to think about retirement. Rampage 2 is fine for novice gamers and the multiplayer battles can be entertaining, but otherwise it's too simple and repetitive.”
“Like its PlayStation cousin, the N64 version of Rampage 2 is an improvement over older Rampage titles. … These relatively small additions add up to make this version of Rampage stand out moreso than previous versions”
“Rampage's appeal has always been its multiplayer contests, but UT's gameplay quickly becomes monotonous after you tire of pounding everything in sight.”
“Rampage 2 is one of them — a dated, unnecessary sequel to a dated, unnecessary original, and a total waste of time and money.”
Electronic Gaming Monthly's average rating is the mean of its Review Crew's scores, each given on a 1 to 10 scale "in relation to other titles available for the same system." Undated scores are from the review table in the game's Wikipedia article, limited to reviews of the Nintendo 64 version.

Before you buy
The US cartridge sits above the library median and the fake risk is low. The game saves to a Controller Pak, not to the cartridge, so budget for one; the Rumble Pak is optional. A big box edition costs far more than a standard complete copy. PAL copies cost noticeably more than US ones, and the gap is largest for complete copies. Sealed copies sell for several times the complete price.
