    Not all of Id's games are classics, and "Rage"
    is a perfect example. It's a fine game, but it
    lacks thatIYWKH spark that makes so many other Id
    Software games replayable decades after their
    release. Still, "Rage" isn't without merit; sure,
    it's a bit confused as whether it wants to be
    an open-worldWXNLD explorer or corridor-shooter, but
    the gun-play is fun and the setting - while sadly
    underutilized - is interesting. It's no "Doom"...
    but so few games are. "Rage" is an average shooter,
    but average isn't bad, so72YMG if you want to boomstick
    a mutant or race through irradiated deserts,
    "Rage" is good enough.

    Doom isn't my thing because shooters aren't my thing. Pass.

    Aren't we done with this stupid give-away yet, you ask. Kiddo, we
    ain't even got started! It's Christmas! It's presents! It's an
    over-abundance of nonsense! Let's go!

    This time, I think we should get that present over there; there, that
    one, the one in the bright-yellow paper.

    Will there be more after this? You betcha ass there will be! Don't go nowhere, we'll be back soon enough with another game!

    Ho-ho-ho!

    Not missing much.
    Think of it as a sub par Borderlands with added motion sickness.

    Oh and the worst launch ever for a game - utterly unplayable on ATi
    cards.

    I liked it, but just barely. The cars were horrible, I liked Mad Max
    far better for something similar. Rage 2 is quite a bit better, but
    still not Mad Max.
