Robot Rampage (iPhone)
Now, this I like!
The name is fairly descriptive. You’re a giant robot and you’re on a rampage. Or, more accurately, a Rampage. You see, this game is really quite reminiscient of that city-destroying coin-op classic. (Shut up. I liked it.)
Instead of climbing buildings, though, you lay waste to them with feet and fists and, mostly, a deadly laser beam that shoots out of your eyes. You stomp through randomly-generated city blocks, destroying the buildings and dealing with the assorted military units the game throws at you.
It’s very stylish, the controls are absolutely perfect, it’s great fun and you always have to pay attention – even a lone solider can do a lot of damage if you don’t deal with him quickly. This is what I want to see more of on the App Store – polished bite-sized games that play to the format’s strengths.
I’m not sure how long I’ll play before I get bored of it, but for a little over a quid, it doesn’t need to last forever. I’ve had enough fun from it already, given the price.
