Wreck and ride in a visceral and ground-breaking evolution of the 2.5D action arcade genre, fusing destructive, octane-fueled, motorbike combat and death-defying stunt gameplay, set in a visually stylized retro future world. Switch between 4 characters, each with unique abilities, as you wreak havoc fighting deadly Junkbots! Skillfully wreck havoc as you master the realistic physics based controls of your sweet ride. Destroy Junkbots with a barrage of special abilities and weaponry like wheel-mounted saw blades, harpoon guns, handlebar mounted mini guns or flame spewing exhausts. The more creative the destruction the better, ride up walls, backflip of the side of buildings and crush some Junkbots mid-air whilst riding upside down.

Just recently played it. I found the concept exciting - I love bikes and games, and together they are just great, the style is cool, but controls really need more simplicity, or an optional arcade mode in settings.
What comes to my mind is a combined keys for an action, e.g.: ASD - turns you around. A/D for speed/slow, W for jumps, S for actions.

Pros: Awesome game with superb new concept, good graphics n visuals, cool bikes n characters, and great fun mechanics/stunts. Missions/Levels are well designed with high replay value. Game is very addictive and super fun once you get hold onto the controls.
Cons: Playing with keyboard is hard and clunky. Though you can configure keys to your liking still it is not as friendly as a Controller. It takes time to get used to the game control scheme. Even with a Controller, at times, it gets clunky and frustrating. I wish I could reconfigure buttons on Controller as well. I also notice frequent lag on few levels. Sometimes key presses won't register and miss your actions.

It has something going for it. But the controls are bad and the story is not that great. Cookie cutter characters. "The fearless leader", "'The boy genius".

Whilst Steel Rats certainly has it's share of jank level design and questionable design choices, it still has enough original ideas to make it worth trying. At sale price, it's $1, and it's not hard to get your money's worth at that price.

A side-scroller platformer with a bike. That's how cool this game is.
The controls are a bit daunting at first, but after you get used to them, you'll be literaly flying with the bike. Just controlling the bike is incredibly rewarding and fun. Once you started sawing enemy bots in half... damn!
