I cannot get myself to really rate games like this, usually I just give them 5-stars. It's a part of video game history at it's rawest moment, and, obviously, compared to what we have now, they always feel rather mehhh, but people might had fun with it at the times

Adds a level of complexity between the multiplayer and avoidance mechanics but still gets repetitive quickly.

It can be fun and competitive, but unfortunately, the levels repeat quite a bit.

Well, not impossible to play by your lonesome considering it's still a challenge to try and get your rocket up screen against a fairly dense field of obstacles. But definitely not how it's meant to be played.
