Summary

For many years we have had games that are influenced or ripped off from Rampage, the hit game where you pick a creature and destroy cities whilst eating people, you know the score, video games! Here we have another attempt and the funny thing is, Terror Of Hemasaurus takes the game, shows love to it, and then adds in many layers whilst wrapping it up in an accessible bow meaning anyone can jump in and play. I instantly fell in love with the graphics and Carnage as I made buildings topple into each other, watching cars fly off trampolines and hitting air balloons whilst munching on people. It’s a feel-good game and one that you play and loses track of time, you can forget all the shit that is going on in the world and just have good old fun, plus you can have up to 3 friends join you and that is just mental! Fans of the original Rampage will appreciate amd love this game whereas new players to the genre get to play a far more superior version of a classic.
