    Come on guys whats with the bad reviews. Although, they game has a tendency to crash quite often, which caused me a lot of frustration. The ending is weak, and unsurprising. The opponent ai is almost of behavior of a regular human. To run this game you need to set graphics low, as it has a chance of crashing. So overall a seven.

    The game play and ambiance of the game is pretty good. The character models are great but the textures are terrible for high end gaming rigs. The voice over and sound fx are outstanding and sound great with a decent sound card. For high end machines just google rageconfig.cfg to get the best quality out of this game. The game is only about 10hrs long.

The movement and controls are quite good, combat is very fluid and the player is never left feeling out of control of the game avatar. The game looks very good as well, ever on my slightly outdated system.

    Vehicle combat and driving is very different then player control. It is clunky and the steering is either on or off. You are either turning or you are not. That makes the frequent racing and combat a chore rather than a joy.

    In this game you are able to upgrade and customize your weapons and vehicles........kind of at least. You are teased with a few tweaks for items that make you think that this game will have an RPG element to it but in reality the little that you are able to customize make almost no difference in gameplay or weapon efficiency. I spent much time racing and doing side quests to earn the "racing certs" or cash to upgrade my things, only to ultimately be very disappointed.

    Another problem I had with the game is the need to supply finite ammunition for your vehicles. When you make your way out into the larger (I use that word lightly) world, you find yourself in combat with other vehicles. You are able to shoot them and kill them, repair your damage or put up a shield or deploy an automated gun, all which sounds fun until you realize that everything you have is very limited which sucks because the baddies........are infinite in places. So you will discover that the solution, is to just speed by and get to where you are going as fast as you can, almost completely nulling a large portion of the game.

    Yet another few issues to mention, the UI is obviously made for a console (you can only scroll through 4 weapons at a time even though you can select any weapon with the appropriate number key. You can only have 4 special items equipped at a time even though you can carry hundreds of each one. Using special ammo requires using the mouse to select it from a diamond shaped, 4 quadrant menu that is brought up by holding a key and selecting it with the ENTIRELY WAY TO SENSITIVE mouse.

    In conclusion, this is a game worth playing IF you are able to get it for an affordable price. As a dollar value I would say this game is worth $15-$20.    … Expand

    Rather than write a review for Fallout 4, I thought I'd stop back and give a short review to Rage instead since it has reminded me alot of Rage in my experiences with it so far. The main differences being that Fallout 4 is more of a stat based shooter than just aim here and shoot there--but make no mistake, Fallout 4 is a shooter. Made me wish it had as good as controls as Rage does.

    I think Rage could have done with some better marketing and hiring lore guys to make up stories for the world based on the artists who went out of their way with details like sculptures and graffiti. This is a really long shooter, maybe 30-40 hours. I would have labeled it an adventure shooter rather than pushing it to be a shooter with rpg elements. It's better than a game like Borderlands, much better. I'd almost say it was like Zelda or Metroid aside from the fact that some of the things you acquire aren't necessarily require while some are. Yes, Metroid mixed with lore like Mass Effect would have been the perfect mix for this game.

    Here's hoping Rage gets a sequel as good as the first...or better taking real criticism to heart.    … Expand

Your weapons suck, they lack a killer punch, the car driving sucks and car battles are just tedious. The first person action is not very engaging and it becomes annoying very fast if you can't even jump on top of a box and invisible walls block you, sometimes in really stupid places for example you could slide down a slope early on then crawl back up it but despite being big and solid enough to hold you, the curse of the invisible force wall strikes, The graphic engine is not going to win any prizes any time soon. I am glad I picked this up in a sale and not full price. It frankly is just boring. Can I endorse this as a purchase to you? nope sorry, not even in the sales bucket.

This game is fast paced and brilliantly fun to play. id games have a certain feel to them that other shooters just cant match IMO.

Lots of people seem to complain about the graphics in the game for PC, but seriously easy to fix with a config file to change the textures to 4k, 8k or 16k textures. I ran the game with 8k textures and it looked amazing with my 7950 and it ran 40FPS+. The biggest issue with the graphics is texture quality when close to objects which is common but with stock graphics the textures are some of the worst ive seen up close in a while but the 8k "mod" fixes a lot of this. I know people **** saying well we shouldnt have to make a config file to up graphic quality, fact of the matter is people do this for all kinds of games and modding games is just part of PC gaming these days. id is old school and thats what i love about their games. They make their games linear which to me ups the fun, especially in frantic situations. nobody wants a open world doom game and i certainly dont want rage open world either. i recommend picking this up as far as i can tell there isnt many bugs in this game at all though i didnt go out of my way to find any either. Rage took me about 20 hours to beat (23 hours with the DLC) and that is completing all the little side missions and races. Which for a FPS this day and age is really good considering i beat most FPS games in 5-6 hours. There have been some patches that fixed a lot of the graphic options in the games settings so disregard older reviews of this game which state there are none. I loved how id stuck to their guns with this game and didnt conform it to more "modern" **** shooters that only let you carry 2 guns, carrying 9+ guns is just plain awesome. One feature i wish they would have left out was health regeneration but there are medpacks as well. Rage also includes very minor RPG elements as well that makes the game more interesting. You can craft things like turrets , rc car bombs medpacks, wingsticks are really fun to use decapitating enemies is just plain awesome. sure maybe the story is not up to par and the characters are uninteresting but when has id ever put a lot of stock into character development. This game is just plain fun up the difficulty though the normal setting seems more like very easy ramp it up to hard or higher.… Expand

Controls are easy to learn, and intuitive to any fps veteran. Combat is tough, dynamic and suspenseful. Different types of enemies provide a challenge, and an opportunity to creatively use all your fabricated weapons and explosive RC cars 8] . The characters models are fantastic and each one is different. The way they talk and the expressions they make are amazingly well made. I am so impressed with the attention to detail bethesda and id have taken in character personality. Back to killing - its just awesome. Shooting a guy in the ass makes him scream and pain and clutch his bum like its been bit by a ravenous donkey! Missions are engaging and entertaining - and usually provide some kind of perk or schematic for the players benefit. There are seemingly endless battles to be fought, and elixers to be made - boredom is a rarity. My few main gripes are this - The world has too many boundaries. Th player cant explore the cliffs or even jump over a car thats 2 ft off the ground - makes for an unrealistic restricted feel, which I dislike. Also, id has always made games with fun little secret doors, and locations for the true gamer who likes to explore. Rage provides little if anything like this. Overall, gameplay, gunplay, combat, the stories, and character modeling/ voice acting are all phenomenal, which is all I require to have a blast in any pc game. Enjoy it for everything it is!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm giving this game 1 point for living up to its name. By the time I was done I felt a bit of rage.
    Story/dialogue: Really weak. The mayor of "Subway Town" is supposed to be this big bad ass you have to impress to be able to stay around, then a couple missions later "The Authority" shows up and he is gone. No explanation, no resolution, he is just gone. I would assume he is dead, but the writers couldn't be bothered to actually write the story. Then the ending... wow such fail. Even though throughout the game you see the Arks as broken down and mostly full of dead people, the end of the game is when you make the rest of the Arks around the world surface. End scene. Really, look it up, it sucks. Even if we assume that the other Arks worked, why would they join the resistance against the stupid authority? Why does the game end without actually winning the war?
    Gameplay: Mostly boring. This is an area with so much missed potential. All of the different ammo types and little killing machines you can craft should have been awesome, but they just didn't work out. RC bombs always get shot before they reach their target, and the armor "effective" ammo is anything but. Also, why does it take precisely 2 perfectly aimed sniper headshots to kill a guy, when you clearly see a good liter of blood fly out of his head on the first one? Why does it take more than one point blank shotgun blast to the face to kill an un-armored human? This is what I call artificially inflating the difficulty and killing any possible fun. The lack of a map in towns is just ridiculous. I had a story mission to turn in to "Carlson" after taking a break from the game for a couple months, and with no map, no nav points, and no hints on where in town he would be I had to google it. Lame. Then later had to google where to find someone else. If the game wants me to literally make friends with the characters and remember their names, then they should at least have some personality or something.
    There is also a big chunk of racing mini games, but I was bored of them immediately and skipped it. Maybe that was the good part of the game.
    Graphics: Decent, as long as you don't turn your head. Textures pop in and out as you pan the view around. I don't play games for the graphics, but this was kind of annoying. I would rather just have lower res textures.

    Also, the comparisons to Borderlands should not be happening. This game is nothing like Borderlands. At all. If anything it was trying to be a Fallout clone, but it failed at that.    … Expand

    The worst FPS from id which I ever seen before. All in game are bad, especially shooter gameplay, where I don't feel my weapon, I didn't see any difference between pistol and assaul rifle, only numbers of bullets and damage.

    This is very good game . This game similar to Mad Max because In this game there are missions on Cars and this game Action and Shooter . This game has got good graphics and I played this game on Max Difficult (Nightmare) . Vehicle in this game this is ATV . Enemes in this game are people similar to Zombies . And I think about Rage even better than Mad Max .

    (Review from February of 2012, when Steam reviews were limited in length) RAGE is a damn good FPS. However, it is not without flaws.

And coming from any other developer, those flaws would have been expected, maybe even acceptable. But from the fathers of FPS gaming, Id Software, RAGE felt rather underwhelming in the end. There was enough distinctive elements (the ability to carry every weapon, for instance) that was undeniably an Id Software game, yet it is stained by present-day conventions. The relatively drab color scheme doesn't bother me, Id has always been known for such and in the old days, that wasn't an issue. I'm not even bothered by the glaring graphical problems. The issue is, RAGE tried to be two things it shouldn't have been, and I don't have enough room in this box to go in-depth as to why. One, it tried to be a console game. Console games have too many limitations. Two, it tried to be "Borderlands with plot." Borderlands doesn't have a have a lot of plot because it's about fun, cooperative gameplay. At least the cars and guns were fun.… Expand

    A pretty, fast and aggressive shooter, striving in vain to be something more. [December 2011, p.62]

    Far from perfect Rage somehow is has fun post-apocalyptic action where the principles are set –fortunately – bit different than in other games of FPS genre. [Nov 2011]

    It seems id Software is still living in its golden days and failed to notice that times have changed since Doom and Quake. Rage is just a decent, linear, old school shooter combined awkwardly with an arcade racing game. The world is only 'kinda openish' and the story must have been written by the coders while they were compiling the alpha version. The game looks great though – if you're lucky enough to have the it run smoothly and without technical issues that haunt the PC version. [November 2011, p.46]
