Rampage, Midway Games

The results are interesting, and the additions to the story are welcomed, as it adds an interesting bit of story to a game that had very little, if no plot at all.

Check out the first trailer for the game below:

The first trailer is loaded with he usual tropes: what is happening, and how is it going to affect the star. But this trailer is so much more.

Rampage stars Johnson as Davis Okoye, a sensitive primatologist who rescues an albino silverback gorilla named George because he just gets animals. He just gets them, ya know. Then, thanks to science, George becomes a 30-foot monstrosity smashing his way through Chicago, with other huge animals (including one big-ass crocodile) on his heels. Also, a giant wolf jumps into a helicopter.

There is no reason given for the evil corporation that is messing with radical genetic experiments in nature. But should a movie like this really have a reason? Check out the second trailer for a bit more footage, and a flying 30-ft.-wolf:

Rampage hits theaters on April 20.
