  1. These rats love a few things. What are those things? Well, look at their tattoos! Mom, cheese, Lucy Liu's face. I don't know about you, but I would not get a tattoo of Lucy Liu's face on my face, covering it just perfectly so that it looks like I have transformed into some weird unflinching Lucy Liu zombie! A tattoo of a hairy mole somewhere where I might have a hairy mole could be very humorous. Maybe I could even get a tattoo of a big, hairy mole right next to a big, hairy mole on my arm or my something and whip it out and parties and have people try to guess which one is real. That would have to be a pretty realistic tattoo, though, or the game would not be much fun! To sum up, Bad Rats might be a video game, or it might be something totally unrelated, like a clown car driven by thousands of little green army men. Beef Jerky. Expand
  2. This game is just phenomenal. Really. There is so much to do, the concept is Aces High. Basically its all you could want in a spiritual successor to impossible machines and the like. Plus the theme is great. I mean you really, really feel for the rats. You feel their hatred for the dreaded cats. The Just Deserts are incredible. I say, it is quite the great thing. The price is astronomically low for the value of entertainment to be had. The team is great and I look forward to any and all future releases. This is a must buy for any serious gamer. Expand
  3. Derivative, filled to the brim with cliche, animated with lifeless graphics and utterly humorless. All of this would be tolerable if there were a competent physics based puzzle game at the core of the experience, and it almost delivers in this respect, except for one appalling thing: The physics are partly randomized. Even The Incredible Machine, a physics puzzler released almost two decades ago, managed to avoid this slip-up. Since Bad Rats is following in the footsteps of other such puzzlers, it would stand to reason that they would learn the appropriate lessons. Instead, you may end up reaching the solution for a puzzle, only to have to run it 10-15 times until you get the necessary combination of initial conditions to actually complete it. Expand
  4. I don't usually rate games as a one, but unfortunately I have to here.
    Bad Rats is what appears, at first, to be your bog-standard physics pu
    zzle game. It's not. Because the physics changes every time you attempt to solve the problem. Not only is it riddled with a horrific engine, but the visuals are terrifyingly ugly and the speak and spell voiceover verges on masochistic. I don't advise spending your hard-earned money on this awful game. Expand
