Rage - PS3 Game (Retro Fam)

I didn't know what to expect with Rage, id Software's new game. When I'd first read the description of the game, I thought to myself, "How is this going to make for an interesting game?". Yet, after booting up Rage on my Playstation 3, I can see how it does. Straight from the get-go, Rage pulls you into its' story. It goes a little something like this: The world is nearly wiped out by an asteroid. You emerge from an underground vault, prematurely, to find a world that's not a very friendly place. Not very friendly to you, of course. Through a series of missions, side quests and whatnot; you find out why. Despite it's variety of missions and so on, Rage is primarily a traditional FPS.First thing you'll notice in the game is the detail to the graphics of the game. Everything loooks photo-realistic. Not only that but the areas you visit are brimming with life. NPCs and enemies react just as we would in real-life, according to the situations(That's something that made Rage all the more believable to me). If you come into Rage thinking it to be like past id Software games, you'll be pleasantly surprised to find out that things things are much different this time around. Enemies react accordingly when you fire at them or swing at them. The towns and areas you visit and do battle in actually feel inhabited and lived in. It's really hard to explain all the nuances about the game that draw you in but id has did so with this game. Course, six years in the making has really paid off wit.

Great game, I enjoyed it thoroughly! It's like Fallout on steroids! Except you CAN'T do as much exploring around. The graphics are unbelievable! Five stars!

The graphics are outstanding and the game play is fluid. RAGE is absolutely one of the most visually stunning games ever. The reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is the stories ending. Here you have this complex story, and side stories, and after days of investment the story just ends! It's almost like the developers couldn't figure out an ending so they stopped working on it. Very dissappointing.

good game

I do not buy the hype much these days, you get stung way to much. I rented this at redbox and decided to buy it. It started really slow and I kept plugging away and loved the way it developed. I decided to buy it and I found the anarchy edition at wally world, the spiffs are nice to have in the game and the gloves or blades work well if you are in a spot and need to punch it out. All I can say is I like it, Im having fun, Im grinding the hell out of it, doing all the side quests and races. I like the way the cars and weapons feel and sound, Im using the ps3 surround headphones and it sounds fantatstic. You need the surround to listen for the baddies. I have seen some great reviews here. This game works well, loads slow and holds its own. If you grind this game to extract your money worth there is no way you are going to find all the easter eggs and finnish in 13 hours. Im into it longer than that and Im just getting ready to leave wellspring to the next part. I still have races to do, two job board entries and 1 round of mail left.All I can say is that if you buy a game, start it on at least hard and do all the work before you write it off...This game was worth the money and looks great.. but the jury will not be out till the game is over...Ill do a couple of play throughs and trade it on dark souls... Ill have to look up any future DLC
