PS3's Episodic Comedy Rat Race Falls Short of Funny

We thought the idea for Rat Race—an episodic comedy adventure game for the PS3–was brilliant. There just seems to be one small problem: it’s not actually funny, at least judging by this brief vignette. We, optimists that we are, still have hope that the gameplay will rescue the lame attempt at humor, or that perhaps this video isn’t representative of Rat Race‘s comedy.
