I Bought RAGE on it's release day because id Software. I'm still a fan of theirs after over 20 years. Don't know why exactly all the time, but yet I am.
I was somewhat disappointed with RAGE. Sure, it looks nice at times, but for all the hype and fervor preceding the launch, it was a rather big let down on the overall gaming experience.
If you are a fan of id Software's games, I do recommend RAGE. It's not a greatest game out there, but it has it's moments. If, on the other hand you are short of time and crave for some truly great entertainment, there are better options.
Pros:
- The action, at times
- The idea and potential for the story
- Pretty post apocalyptic scenery and semi-comic imagery
Cons:
- The, oh, so very static world. Not a cloud moves in the sky.
- Race grinding.
- Was there a main story? I can't remember. If there was, it was really unremarkable and bland. (Oh, wait, I am mistaken. I do remember the story. It really is unremarkable and bland.)
- The sounds and overall feeling of the weapons. Since the Doom 3 failure, why cannot they get those right? (This is a minor issue though.)
