It's just what we were afraid of. You've been lied to. When you learned of upcoming PSN title Rat Race, you were told it was an episodic comedy/adventure game. The truth, as you can see in this clip and the others after the jump, is that it is an episodic adventure game that contains objects that are supposed to be jokes. Honestly, if there's any justice it won't even be episodic. It'll just be a really short game.
Let's put it this way. It's The Guy Game bad. ... No, it's worse. Rat Race is aspiring to that level. When Rat Race goes home to its four-post canopy bed, it has pictures of The Guy Game hanging on its wall. We're still hopeful for a glimmer of comedy, a smirk even. We just haven't seen it yet.
Sarah Silverman is one of those ungraceful ladies that depends on racy humor about sex and bathroom functions as the source of her humor. Like at the MTV video awards when she made some joke having to leave the stage because she had some bathroom problem.
First off, you know you're in trouble when your game completly sucks at one half of its own genre. And secondly, this is supposed to be on PS3? God, those visuals are pathetic.
I couldn't even listen to what the characters were saying because I was so distracted by the fact that they fidget and change position every two seconds. The guy in the first video uncrossed his arms then wiped his nose like five times in a row.
The sad part is, that was probably the funniest part of the game so far.
You know how you go and see a comedy, and you get pissed cuz the commercials you already saw were the funniest parts of the movie. Except you would never go see this movie based on that commercial, you would just laugh at any idiot that actually went to see it.
i actually have a porn called "Pulp Friction" lol.....but yea this game is going to be absolutely terrible. whoever green lighted this should be slapped in public.

Shmil @ Oct 18th 2007 8:28PM
one too many mads
LuigiHann @ Oct 18th 2007 8:41PM
What if I say "the God-awful movie looks funnier than this game"?
Shmil @ Oct 18th 2007 8:52PM
i'd agree its just the movie is another craptacular remake
why not the LS2LS7? @ Oct 19th 2007 12:12AM
Actually, two too many Mads.
PhydeWice @ Oct 19th 2007 12:50AM
It had Rowan Atkinson and John Cleese. In other words, Mr Bean and one of the founders of Monty Python. Living comedy legends, son.
Benny @ Oct 18th 2007 7:31PM
About as funny as an anal tumor.
kinshadow @ Oct 18th 2007 7:48PM
Well, it sounds like both will be a pain in the ass.
Jerk Face @ Oct 18th 2007 10:24PM
Kindshadow I seriously love you, ha ha!
Jerk Face @ Oct 18th 2007 10:25PM
Er, yeah. KINshadow. Damn it.
Mr Khan @ Oct 18th 2007 7:33PM
I thought, for a fleeting second, that you were dumping on the movie with Jon Lovitz, Seth Green, and Amy Smart
I would've gotten angry...
kennethrios @ Oct 18th 2007 7:36PM
Wipe me out.
I smiled during the second video. I do however still HATE Sarah Silverman.
plyx @ Oct 18th 2007 10:11PM
Call me ignorant, but what the Hell do any of those videos have to do with Sarah Silverman? (Who, by the way, is freaking rad.)

I meant the last video. The one with the woman.

How can you rip the Guy Game? Trivia and tits. It never claimed it was anything else.
plyx @ Oct 18th 2007 10:12PM
Because it took WAY too long to get to the tits.
PhydeWice @ Oct 19th 2007 12:50AM
And it's not as irreverant as You Don't Know Jack.
Sam @ Oct 18th 2007 7:54PM
I swear that as i watched those clips, i could literally feel my biological structure shift, as i lost at least 30-40 IQ points.

I could have told you this game was going to be garbage the moment Joystiq posted about it before... I should be an industry analyst.
Spooky @ Oct 18th 2007 8:04PM
Watching that hurt my Vagina! Did I mention I'm a dude?
I'm such a bad comedian I should work for them.
Kamizar @ Oct 18th 2007 8:07PM
These people need better writers, and new graphics, and more storyline, and some sort of gameplay...
Ape2020 @ Oct 18th 2007 10:01PM
No these people need an unemployment check.
Rob Accomando @ Oct 18th 2007 8:22PM
maybe if it had a laugh track it would give clues on what was supposed to be funny.
Negativecool @ Oct 18th 2007 8:24PM
Jeez...I at least give Sony props for taking a risk on something unusual.
It just would have been nice if they actually did their homework and realized how crappy this would turn out.
mafafu @ Oct 18th 2007 8:25PM
crap on a cracker
Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Oct 18th 2007 8:42PM
Hahahahhaa. I'm laughing. But for all the wrong reasons. Jesus christ that's horrible.

DaMan09 @ Oct 18th 2007 9:38PM
*Mr. Bean voice* You mean its NOT a race!
Deviation @ Oct 18th 2007 9:38PM
Wow, that was fucking horrible. That's what you get when you hire stand-up comedians to write your dialog instead of actual writers.
plyx @ Oct 18th 2007 10:07PM
This makes Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude look like Blazing Saddles.
Brice @ Oct 18th 2007 10:52PM
There is one video that is actually funny. Something to do with a pitch for insecticide.
blooh (CDF - Nipple Ring) @ Oct 18th 2007 10:53PM
very few women tell jokes like that these days

WiNG @ Oct 18th 2007 11:26PM
Fuck Little Big Planet. This title will save the PS3.
Carrie @ Oct 18th 2007 11:32PM
Wow. Just... wow. Do they expect to actually make money with this crap?
Rat Race the movie I enjoyed, this is just.... yeah. I can't even think of any adjectives bad enough to describe it. GG ps3.
why not the LS2LS7? @ Oct 19th 2007 12:13AM
This looks awful.
The unrelated movie of the same name was awesome.
muppetmeth @ Oct 19th 2007 12:20AM
He said "ass" : o
dillpunk @ Oct 19th 2007 4:53AM
Oooo... little cock doggys
hydralisk456 @ Oct 19th 2007 6:55AM
Ha! Called it! I knew this was gonna be crap and the videos proved it!
Redscare @ Oct 19th 2007 9:35AM
Jesus Christ Vampire Slayer the movie is funnier, much much funnier. And thats kind of scary.
Sean @ Oct 19th 2007 11:44AM
My friends and I rented Guy Game just to see how horrible it was. Boy, was it horrible.
WiFi Pirate @ Oct 22nd 2007 2:46PM
That game sucks on toast.
