Opening Snide Remarks: Well, it is I, "RAPIDFIRE," back for another reader
review.  DMG may not know me, maybe because my browser doesn't run their
chat for some reason, but that won't stop my whirling winds of reviewing
skills.  Okay, now I will review Rats, a game most of you probably never
heard of, and with good reason!  I bought it when I bought my color game boy
because it was there and it was 12.99 and it was in color.  If it were
anymore, I would of just stuck with my old copy of Zelda for a while.

Gameplay: Well, it's as if someone went back into the past of Atari, added
some crappy graphics, frustrating gameplay, and useless color.  Yes, I do
believe this is Back to the Future 2 and 3 for Nintendo, minus all those
cool Load Runner-type levels.  In fact, this game has nothing to do with
Back to the Future, except maybe the rat you contol looks like Biff.  Make
like a tree and get out of here, silly Biff, book learning did him no good:)
Wait, I'm not reviewing Back to the Future, I'm reviewing Rats.  Okay, Rats
is everything you hated about every game you hated put into a black case.

Graphics: Well, I use to draw better Rats when I was five.  And where the
hell does a Rat get a gun with unlimited ammo.  And why does he have to
collect crappy cliche food to advance to the next level where he just does
the same thing again.  And why is everything either blue or brown?  And why
do I continue to waste my time playing this game with bad graphics when I
could be watching Back to the Future?

Sound: Well, a gun shot sounds like a person banging on a trash can, and a
shot hitting a bad guy sounds like a beep, 'nuff said.

Music: If you remember the first Wrestlemania game for Nintendo, you must
remember the crappy 50s music they played for the Honky Tonk Man.  Its that
same song, only it has no reason to be in this game and it is repeated until
you pray for a reunion of Color Me Badd just to occupy your eardrums.

Play Control: When you hit jump, your silly ugly rat looks at you and
sternly stays still until you either a. die because you were hit by an enemy
or b. you jump after hitting the button about 18 times.

Final Analysis: Take the money you would of spent on this game, go buy a
used Nintendo and Back to the Future 2 and 3 and WWF Wrestlemania.  It will
give you more exciting play than this tiny crap game could.  Thank god I
only wasted 12 dollars on it.  I would of jumped out of an office window if
I paid more:)

If you play this game long enough, you will learn the true meaning of life,
but first you have to remember a 18 digit password and collect 12 pieces of
food.
