Gameplay
[edit] Game modes
Total Destruction features four main game modes. The first is a Campaign Mode, where one or two players work to progressively take out cities around the world. In each city, the players destroy the city, unlock new characters and unlock the four special abilities for each monster currently being used. The four special abilities are the same for each monster.
King of the City and King of the World are competitive modes where up to four players compete. In King of the City, players strive to rule a city by dominating the most districts. King of the World is a series of King of the City competitions across various cities. The fourth mode is a time trial where the player tries to complete all the districts of a city in an allotted amount of time.
[edit] New features
This game is in 3-D but with a 2-D perspective, similar to that of Viewtiful Joe. Players are still able to destroy cities and eat people but can now also pick up and throw cars to cause more damage. Some buildings are now behind other buildings so after destroying the first one the next building must also be destroyed. Buildings may now be climbed on from the front face of the building, not just the sides. The people now have new dialogue to add to the experience of the game, such as the grenade-tossing soldiers who do a Conan O'Brien-style impression of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Throughout the game, additional challenges arise that offer bonus points and monster upgrades. Completing these challenges are not necessary to finish the level. There is also a gauge that gradually fills up allowing character to utilize special abilities such as Rampage mode or the Roar power. Three other super moves and other standard moves have been added to the game, such as the multi-spin attack. In the Wii version, punches can be performed by punching at the screen with the Wii Remote.
[edit] Bonus content
Total Destruction features two bonus items which come with the game already unlocked. These are ports of the original Rampage and Rampage World Tour. The Nintendo Wii version also has a clip from the Cartoon Network TV Series, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy.
In addition to the Cartoon Network clip, the Nintendo Wii version also features another city, Dallas, ten more monsters (Fifi, Cyril, Plucky, Squirmy, Fabio, Sarah, Brian, V.E.R.N., Boris and Ruby), and a fifth upgrade (Super Jump).
[edit] Cities

[edit] Bosses
The one boss in the game is named Doctor Vector. He appears after the player has destroyed all but one of the blocks of the current city. Vector has many weapons in his arsenal such as a flying saucer, a water tank, a flying ship, a giant leaping spider, and on the final stage a gigantic blimp. While it is not necessary to beat the Doctor, the player must destroy the blimp to complete all the levels. The destruction of the boss vehicle is a bonus task for the level, which awards 5,000 points upon completion.
Here is a list of bosses:
- Scum carbonator
