In a review of the PlayStation version, "GamePro" was more undecided: "With plenty of special moves and power-ups to discover as you lay waste to more than 100 cities, the gameplay certainly lasts - just don't expect it to change much. Then again, sometimes it's good to turn off your brain and turn up the cosmic carnage." However, a different "GamePro" critic reviewed the Saturn version, and opined that the game's "utter failure to take advantage of new technology and add new elements to the original "Rampage" is inexcusable." "Next Generation" reviewed the Nintendo 64 version of the game, and stated that "Despite the three-player mode, no amount of graphic flash or nostalgia can improve a style of gameplay whose day has passed."
