    I first played rage 4 years ago when i bought it used, and at the time i thought it was the best that console games could get, a visually stunning game that ran butter smooth, yeah right, not so much the best, but rage was and still is a solid game with a lot to offer, despite a few flaws, the visuals are some of the most stunning to have come from id software, id tech 5 really steals theI first played rage 4 years ago when i bought it used, and at the time i thought it was the best that console games could get, a visually stunning game that ran butter smooth, yeah right, not so much the best, but rage was and still is a solid game with a lot to offer, despite a few flaws, the visuals are some of the most stunning to have come from id software, id tech 5 really steals the show here, there is some noticeable texture pop in in some places but it doesnt affect the overall experience, and despite what some have said, i never noticed any screen tearing, framerate is buttery smooth even on the consoles, and rarely drops no matter whats happening on screen, gameplay is fast paced fun shooting action as you would expect from the company that pioneered the fps genre, and the ai is actually surprisingly intelligent, running for cover when they see you, fighting you if you get close to them, even flanking you and trying to outsmart you at some points, adding some challenge and variety to the straightforward shooting, environments, settlements and towns are also fun to explore, and meeting new people in the game can be pretty good as well, but the game has some problems, the characters and the story are forgettable, emotionless at best, the story not being hugely important considering id software made this game, but i should bring it up, but the ending just feels extremely rushed, the wasteland itself is also largeley uninteresting and lacks much to do, and the game just feels like its suffering from an identity crisis, one half is trying to be a kickass id software game, and the other half is trying to be the next fallout/borderlands killer but just falls short to both said games, but what is there is a solid game with a world and story that just is just begging to be expanded upon, its just a shame the sequel will probably never see the light of day

    If you have played borderlands or fallout and are expecting an rpg with story and compelling characters, i probably would NOT recommend rage, because you will be disapointed with the forgettable story and somewhat forgettable characters, but if you are a fan of id software games, or if you enjoyed doom 2016 or wolfenstein the new order, i wholeheartedly recommend rage, because the gameplay and shooting is what makes this game worth it, i must have played and completed it several times over the years and it never gets old, it may not be the fallout killer it wanted to be, but rage is a game that i would recommend to any fps game fan,    … Expand

    Rage is a very solid first-person shooter.

    Being developed by id Software,the creators of the fps genre,the game has that spark that many modern fps lack. The gameplay is quality,with smart AI,and balanced weapons,with tons of different types of ammo.You can also loot enemies for money and items which can be sold for money or used to craft useful items.You use money to buy weapons    Rage is a very solid first-person shooter.

    The graphics and framerate are solid

    Soundtrack and sound design aren't very good though.

    Overall though,Rage is a well-made,solid first-person shooter that is well worth playing through.    … Expand

    The first part of the game, in my opinion 8 and over, it is very well made and structured, but the second part (the part that is on disk 2 ), I found it too fast, dispersed and with a final TERRIBLE, that leaves you speechless, and not for beauty or ugliness, but for the way it comes.

    I have started going through all the id games in my collection, and Rage is the first one I have chosen to play. Having completed it back in 2012 I was happy to give it another spin. All these years later it is still a blast, although minor problems do shine through.

Having completed it back in 2012 I was happy to give it another spin. All these years later it is still a blast, although minor problems do shine through.

    Pros-
    Lovely graphics/cloud detail
    Loud audio on gun shots
    Desolate game world (I like it a lot)
    Weapons pack a nice punch
    Enemy AI
    Nice and simple vehicle combat
    Variety of gadgets/upgrades is sweet
    Wasteland sewers/scorchers dlc
    Subway Town is nicely detailed

    Cons-
    No timescale/night cycle/weather
    Where are the female bandits/authority?
    A lame story line and horrible ending (possibly the worst in the history of gaming)
    Didn't quite nail the horror aspect
    Where are the mutant animals or variety of opponents?
    Reused too many locations in the missions
    Not enough indoor locations

    Rage это игра, которую я начал ждать как только увидел геймплей с E3. Не знаю почему, но была в этом какая-то магия, для меня схожая с Bioshock, просто очень захотелось окунуться в эту атмосферу.
    И моё предчувствие меня не подвело, почти.

Не знаю почему, но была в этом какая-то магия, для меня схожая с Bioshock, просто очень захотелось окунуться в эту атмосферу.
    И моё предчувствие меня не подвело, почти.
    Почему, почти. Да по тому, что вся "шутерная", так сказать, часть игры пропитана невероятно густой и притягательной атмосферой: метро, гараж, поселение мародеров, ну а мёртвый город это выше всех похвал, кто играл поймёт. Но вот вся эта прелесть разбавлена ужасающими, корявыми, абсолютно не нужными покатушками на машинках (ненавижу покатушки). Зачем, кому это понадобилось, ощущение такое, что эти покатушки засунули в игру за месяц до релиза. Абсолютно ненужный, раздражающий элемент.
    Хочу добавить, что оружие в игре, просто великолепно. В игре очень приятно стрелять, да ещё разнообразные виды боеприпасов к этому оружию, добавляет радости.
    Сюжет в игре, звёзд с неба не хватает, всё по заветам Кармака, но вполне обеспечивает интересное прохождение, почти, до конца. Почему почти, потому, что во второй половине, игра начинает провисать, как геймплейно, так и атмосферно. Враги из зомбей и мародеров превращаются в спецназ, как то не очень!
    Хочу сказать про графон. И он великолепен для 2011 года. Если не ошибаюсь это первая игра на id Tech 5, поэтому у меня, я думаю как и у многих, на РС возникла проблема с подгрузкой текстур. Они грузились так медленно, что это просто резало глаз. Так, что проходил я игру на Xbox 360, на которой, как не странно, подобного казуса не было.
    Резюмирую. Если отбросить все покатушки, не заострять на них внимания, то я увидел просто великолепную, сюжетную, красивую игру, чего, к сожалению, нельзя сказать про сиквел, Rage 2.    … Expand

    Loved this despite the rushed ending. Nice graphics and gameplay - would pay for a remaster on PS4

    Shooter fans will like RAGE, but it's lack of story or really innovative elements won't attract new players that didn't love other id games. I hoped for more, guys.

    As a fun and frenetic FPS, Rage delivers in spades. That the same can't be said for the game's story is a real shame. It's especially disappointing as Rage feels like it's building to a strong crescendo, before fizzling out like a damp firework. Rage veers incredibly close to greatness then, but ultimately fails to win itself a cigar.

    While its other elements hep create atmosphere, they aren't as polished as its peerless gunplay. [Issue#77, p.82]
