"Beautiful, but lacking"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Much hyped, but failed to deliver in the end. The graphics on the the PS3 are beautiful, but there is a definite lag with the textures.

Despite being supposedly open world, the game is still very linear without much scope for variation.

It borrows elements from Borderlands & Fallout, but both of these games provide so much more gameplay themselves. Rage's multiplayer is surprisingly vehicle-based only, given id's Doom background and FPS brilliance. The campaign is short-medium in length, but the ere is no replay value, with only one ending and one character to use. Even the weapons get stale after a while, as there is no real customisation options at all, and only a small arsenal (compared with either of the aforementioned better games).

Rage is a beautiful game visually, but does not tick enough of the boxes for me.

"Fantastic"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

~ EDIT ~

RAGE started off as a fantastic game, I found the controls easy to learn and the story mildly interesting. It's graphics on the PS3 are fantastic but lackluster compared to the PC. I didn't think much how the game ended and in fact I would go as far as saying the ending really let the entire game down. Originally I had this game at 5/5 stars now I've changed it to 3/5 stars because of what I just stated.

"Very Borderlands/ Fallout 3..."
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

It’s very Borderlands and Fallout 3, and even though RAGE has been in development for longer than both those two games have been available, you’ll recognize the underpinnings. Luckily, despite the fact that the single player campaign rarely evolves much beyond, “Drive to location, kill everything, return to base,” RAGE does manage to reproduce, again and again, some really fun battle situations. The game almost always makes you feel powerful, capable and in possession of overwhelming firepower, and the longer the campaign progresses, the more exciting it becomes. Though… the story is razor thin. The AI, though interesting to watch, quickly becomes predictable. The minigames, racing and driving are fairly minor diversions. The world isn’t really meant for you to explore. And in the end, it’s not a place you’ll need to live in: a visit is more than enough.

amazing to look at despite texture pop in. nice split screen and great feeling to the combat as you would expect from an ID game. well worth a look. Multiplayer is an aquired taste but fun nevertheless!

"Mind blowing Graphics"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Rage was an amazing game easy to get the hang off and also great interaction during the game play unlike most games. The graphics were amazing which made the game that little bit more addictive.Fun to watch or play and a lot more detail in the game which makes this game a lot more enjoyable and definitely defines where video games are heading.

"Disappointing"
2 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This game was a disappointment for me, I was expecting something more engaging and exciting from Bethesda (They made Fallout 3, Fallout NV and the Oblivion titles, which were awesome games). Gameplay quickly becomes boring, you spend the whole game shooting the same bandits or mutants. You will be sent into similar looking environments for each mission, and have to kill the inhabitants to achieve whatever you went there for. To get from A to B you drive buggys through the Wasteland, along the way some bandits in buggys will pop out of nowhere, after awhile it gets annoying constantly having to shoot exactly the same thing. It is a takeoff of the Fallout games, and poorly done takeoff. The only good thing that I found was that each bullet impact has an effect on the enemy, for example, a bullet from a pistol will stagger a bandit, or a blast from the shotgun will cause them to fall over if they are running at you.

"Yeah Nah, pretty bad"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Kinda like a try hard borderlands copy, didnt really do it for me, but for like $5 was alg.

"Fun first person shooter/driving game"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

While this is an interesting and fun game it does get a little bit tedious at times and while the driving sections can be fun they seem more of a reason just to get from A to B. Good selection of weapons and utilities as well as different types of enemies. As for the Anarchy Edition the sewers add on level is short and split into four different small levels and as for the extra's, the only item I used out of all these was the Armor as the normal dune buggy was a better vehicle, the shotgun chewed too much ammo and was too slow to load and it was better to use a weapon rather than take on the enemy hand to hand. In the end, it is still a fun game and if you like to complete and collect everything will keep you busy for about 24 hours.

Interesting plot,engaging characters and easy to pick up the control pattern.Would have given 5 stars but knowing how it ends and leaves you feeling,sadly it can only get 4.Yet in saying that the game does not loose anything in entertainment va­lue.

"Linear but charming"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This game is very much borderlands non-cellshaded, but that's not bad, decent guns, mutants to be beheaded by wingsticks and zooming about in a buggy is stocktrade in this fps but with a falloutesque atmosphere and plenty to destroy it's my cup of tea just be prepared to travel light, except for many guns

One of the best gun games I have played, lots to do on the game. Plus you can play 2 player co-op which is fun.
