    Steel Rats is an awesome 2.5D platformer that makes great use of motorcycle based combat. The team of four bikers are badass and unique, prompting you to try them all out, and being able to switch between them on the fly keeps gameplay fresh.

    It's not perfect - a clumsy button lay-out and some weird physics definitely hold the game back at times - but Steel Rats still manages to combine different genres in a surprising and consistently fun way.

    Steel Rats is a title that we want to promote, thanks to a successful hybridization of playing styles that are not too simple to match and an immediate, amusing and at the same time varied and satisfying play structure. The smudging of the title is mainly linked to an excessively minimal narrative segment and to a sometimes ineffective sense of progression. Nonetheless, these are rather marginal aspects in the calculation of such an immediate, frenetic and enjoyable experience.

    If you wish Trials games had more killer robots and allowed you to move in a third dimension then Steel Rats is definitely worth playing.

    Steel Rats tries to combine so many seemingly incompatible elements both aesthetically and mechanically, that it actually shouldn’t work. But surprisingly, it does, and aside from the overleaden controls you’ll start to enjoy most of the elements that Tate Interactive integrated.

    A highly enjoyable and polished if relatively unambitious bike-fueled action romp, fans of high-octane action platforming will be served very well by Steel Rats.

    This is a really nice game for a really reasonable price. Motorbikes, robots and survival struggles given in good style.

It's something innovative and new. Very cool mixing platformer, bike and actions elements. Additionally there is a story behind it which adds depth to it. Art, locations and audio are simply beautiful. There are some minor issues and game can be improved but it's really enjoyable and relaxing experience.… Full Review »
