I'm sorry if you felt depressed after stanley parable Davey. However, you need not release this wholely insubstantial, pseudo-philosophical, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cash in. If you want something entertaining to play, look elsewhere. If you want some trite mild mental masturbation for an hour pick this up (but only on sale). Disappointing.

Bad Rats: The Rats' Revenge truly pushes the envelope in terms of what we have come to expect from the contemporary physics puzzle genre.

Revolutionary developing house Invent4 Entertainment presents a game furnished with richly drawn characters such as 'Fat Rat' and 'Bomber Rat' who interact to produce a beguiling plot that is both compelling and surprisingly profound. Bad rats depicts the perennial struggle between cat and rat; black and white; good and evil. Since time immemorial thinkers, metaphysicians and philosophers have sought to express the subleties and nuances of morality and ethics and in a way similar to John Locke's An Essay Concerning Human Understanding, Bad Rats provides a discourse on these topics from which we all must draw our own conclusions. This discourse is presented through the conciet of a series of increasingly contrived and complex puzzles - the ultimate aim of which is to destroy the lone cat. The graphic destruction of the cat through this means is not unlike the murder of Alyona Ivanovna in Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment - we take the place of Raskolnikov in that the death of the cat by our hand is, to us, predestined. To play is to kill. We acquiesce to the attivistic vice of violence. But more than this, we do not kill only once. We kill and kill again. The player undergoes Pavlovian conditioning to kill as efficiently as possible in order to maximise 'score' - perhaps hinting at undertones of dehumanisation for arbitrary or solely percieved gain. This too underscores the theme of futility that runs throughout this work. On the completion of a puzzle the player is simply presented with another, time after time. No progress is ever made. We tread the murky waters of languor through the repetition of this ultimately fruitless process.

The hallmark of a truly great work of art is one that can invoke the profound in a way that is accessable to the masses. Bad Rats: The Rats' Revenge does this through the study of concepts in 'game' form yielding a superb commentary on metaphisics in this medium. To simply 'rate' or 'recommend' this 'game' is to wholely trivialise it. This work must be experienced first hand.



Many and sharp the num'rous ills
Inwoven with our frame!
More pointed still we make ourselves
Regret, remorse, and shame!
And man, whose heav'n-erected face
The smiles of love adorn, -
Man's inhumanity to man
Makes countless thousands mourn!

A++ Would play again.
