George Orwell's 1984, Animal Farm, and Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago: three "groundbreaking" works of literature characterizing and exposing the so called "atrocities" and "shortcomings" of the Marxist Soviet Union during the mid-20th Century.

Bad Rats pushes the envelope, hoping to change the world's perception of Communism, tarnished by these fictitious and blatantly duplicitous stacks of toilet paper. From start to finish, your worldview is consistently challenged in a way that could only be rivaled by years of intense psychotherapy and subliminal brainwashing. The game's depiction of the Archetypal hero is sublime; rivaled only by such masterfully written characters as the Quran's Muhammad and Rango. This encourages the player to reinforce a new, corrected ethical code; sacrifice many to save the important few.

Whatever your prior convictions might have been of Communist ideologies, Bad Rats is sure to deliver you a world-shattering paradigm shift which you've only envisioned in your most horrific nightmares.

11/10

HAVE PLAYED SEVERAL HUNDRED HOURS! While slow at times, this game's multiple story possibilities still holds replay value even several years after release. It is challenging to any player with any level of skill, and will have RPG players coming back for more.
