Underrated Game, Phoned In "Port"
Rat Attack is, in my opinion, one of the most underrated games from the fifth generation of consoles. Unfortunately, it seems like there wasn't much care put into this re-release. The biggest issue is that you aren't allowed to map controls for more than 2 players, despite the multiplayer mode supporting up to 4 players. Another big problem is that there's no option for analog movement even though the original version had DualShock support. There are also a few minor issue such as random audio warbling, forced bilinear filtering, and a distracting border that can't be disabled in fullscreen mode. I'm also disappointed that they chose to use an open source emulator instead of making a native port, even though the source code is publicly available. Although Rat Attack is a fun game, I can't give this release a higher rating because of the technical issues. If any of these problems are fixed, I will update my review.
