Short And Sweet Review: RAGE

As soon as you jump into Rage you’ll notice the beautiful environments accompanied with art and technical prowess that looks almost as good as anything else out there. To wreak havoc in this post-apocalyptic wasteland you will have a very diverse weapon layout that controls very well and feels downright satisfying. To move from objective to objective there are vehicular combat sections that provide a very unique feel and also break up the pace in between missions. These vehicle sections were very fun and I liked them just as much as the regular shoot-outs. The only real drawbacks to Rage in the single-player campaign is that despite the very interesting and talented voice acted characters; surprisingly the story plain and simple, just isn’t very good. This is a letdown because if they had made good use of a very rich setting, interesting locals, and remarkable visuals, this game could have been one of the best games this year. Instead it remains a great and very different first person shooter set in a post-apocalyptic world with not very much else to explore or immerse you into this beautiful game.
