Rampage (franchise)
Rampage is a series of video games released by Midway (1986–2009) and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment (2009–present) for the arcade and various consoles. The basic premise of the games is that, due to experiment-related accidents, the player controls a human transformed into a giant monster. The gameplay revolves around the player using their chosen monster to destroy cities around the world while attacking or avoiding police and military forces. A film adaptation was released in 2018. Premise. Humans have been undergoing strange transformations into giant animalistic kaijus due to experiments conducted by the evil and corrupt  Scumlabs. These monsters proceed to travel through the United States, around the globe, into space and eventually through time itself destroying (and occasionally devouring) everything in sight. Heavy inspiration is drawn from various monster movies such as "King Kong" and "20 Million Miles to Earth". George was turned into a giant King Kong-type gorilla, Lizzie was turned into a giant reptile-like monster, and Ralph was turned into a giant bipedal wolf. Film adaptation. A live-action film adaptation was released on April 13, 2018, directed by Brad Peyton and starring Dwayne Johnson. The film features the classic trio  of George, Lizzie and Ralph, this time as mutated animals rather than transformed humans. To tie into the film four separate video games were created. One is an arcade game created exclusively for "Dave & Buster's" who co-created the game alongside Adrenaline Amusements for their restaurant chain, another is an app called "RAMPAGE: AR Unleashed", while the third is a free-to-play browser game called "Rampage City Smash". The fourth is a virtual reality game called "Project Rampage VR".
