Rat Bag Games

Playstation IGN has a preview of Ratbag's Powerslide: Slipstream, the sequel to their successful Powerslide game from 5 years ago. Some great looking pictures of the game there, and you can also download movies too. I did notice the Sydney Luna Park smily entry face in one of the pictures :)

Gamespy has a new review of World of Outlaws Sprint Cars, by Adelaide developers, Ratbag. Good comments on the believable physics, fantastic career mode, and deserving a score of 84 out of 100, but the reviewer couldn't help but feel that they've seen it all before..

World of Outlaws Sprint Cars was released March 2002, but those Ratbag developers have just released another one called World of Outlaws Sprint Cars..

Gamenation reports a new show on computer and console games is set to appear on our tvs, starting this Sunday. Ratbag will also be making an appearance in there! It's only half an hour long, and there are only two shows mentioned, but hey, it's better than nothing..

If you're a keen to see what Ratbag are up to and you're in Adelaide, then jot down the 28th of February, 2003 as the date to be at the Adelaide International Film Festival.

Thanks to Daemin for giving us the report in the forum that Ratbag are hiring!

Gamespot has reviewed Dirt Track Racing 2 by Ratbag, and summarises the title with..

"Dirt Track Racing 2 has its share of high and low points, same as any game, but the most important complaint you can raise against it is that it's essentially the same game Ratbag has been making for years now...

..If, on the other hand, you've never played any Ratbag games and are looking for a solid racer with an unusual subject and unusual quality for a budget game, Dirt Track Racing 2 is well worth trying out. "
