Editorial Review

Rat Attack! takes the old game of cat-and-mouse into the digital age through a challenging series of 50 rodent-catching levels. With a hodgepodge of styles, this game enables players to choose from a group of furry feline scratch cats who look suspiciously like those popular kitty-head bumper stickers. Once the action starts, the spastic animation and angular artwork are enough to give anyone sore eyes. Nevertheless, the gameplay style and graphic design of Rat Attack! offers a welcome change from the usual video game fare.

The basic rat-catching technique consists of stretching an energy lasso (called an "eraticator") around a pest without running into it, then hopping onto a pad that destroys your catch. Cats can also use their claws to stun rats, or you can catch the rodents by using household items, such as a vacuum cleaner. Each level has a time limit, which contributes to the frantic pace of the game. While this game probably won't win any industry awards, it is a fresh and stylish alternative to the usual gaming fare. --Jeff Young

Pros:

• Unusual gameplay
• Great multiplayer options with 15 specific environments
• Long-lasting replay value with 50 levels

Cons:

• The animation is a bit jerky, which can make it hard to tell what is happening onscreen
• The game clock doesn't offer enough time to explore the 1-room levels

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! This game is so cool!!!, February 12, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Rat Attack! (Video Game)

This is the coolest game I have ever laid eyes upon. The characters and stuff may be a little bit blocky and sorta stiff-looking, but, heck, WHO CARES?! My fav Scratchcat is the way cool Hai Jinx, the Siamese Cat with the oh-so-cute face. Have I already mentioned this is a really cool game? Hey, I seriously reccommend it.
