Dexter's Laboratory: Robot Rampage

"Calling it the first Cartoon Network game is a little bit dubious."

- Cartoon Reviewer Dexter's Laboratory: Robot Rampage is a 2000 action game developed by Taito in association with Altron and published by Bay Area Multimedia for the mh:awesomegames:Game Boy Color only in North American regions. This is actually a reskin of Elevator Action EX, which was also developed by Altron on the same year as this game.

Why It Sucks
Note: A few of these points also apply to Elevator Action EX and the original Elevator Action.
 * 1) The music in this game feels rather generic and doesn't feel like it's from the TV show that this game is based on.
 * 2) The levels in this game just revolve around taking elevators up and down and taking the stairs, and it gets extremely boring quickly.
 * 3) The robot enemies are all the same with different paint jobs.
 * 4) All you do in the levels are just opening up doors to get as many points as possible, making it similar to Hotel Mario in a way.
 * 5) Cheap deaths and instant game-overs. Plus, Mandark's evil smile in the Game Over screen is pretty creepy to some extent.
 * 6) Really bad storyline: Mandark reprograms Dexter's robots, and all you need to do is search the lab for "secret codes".
 * 7) Similar to Dexter's Laboratory: Deesaster Strikes, you can't really run at all.
 * 8) As mentioned above, the game is a reskin of Elevator Action EX, which was also released in the same year.
 * 9) When you lose a life, Dexter ends up in his underwear, which is very bizarre for a death animation.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The idea of having Mandark as the villain is still true to the original show despite how generic he is in this game.
 * 2) The graphics are nice for its time on the Game Boy Color.
