RAGE

I liked it a lot to be honest, just like back in the day. Even though the story is just a very loose thread that connects the events, the characters and the environments are really believable and memorable. Visuals still hold on good and are very atmospheric. Game setting changes throughout the game and has a nice sense of progression and movement towards the "heart of darkness". Some areas are very memorable, like Wellspring, Dead City and entrance to the Jackal canyon. Shooting has a punch and gun options are very cool. There are few enemy types but somehow it's interesting all the way through. Driving is not really worth mentioning, i hated it, but at least it's not a big part of the game. Very cool old school shooter adventure!

Super

Heck yeah!

Overall, I give it an four out of five stars. I thought the storyline was okay but the game felt like it ended too abruptly.. I would have given it five stars, however, the inability to drive a vehicle with a keyboard and mouse cost it star. That has been remedied. Read on, my friends, read on. Even 15 years later, in my opinion, it aged well. I bought Rage! unaware that it required a gamepad if you want to actually drive a vehicle with any kind of coordination at all. That's my biggest gripe, but I guess that's my own fault for not paying attention. However, there's a way around everything if you try hard enough. Now, I know most of you would say, "just buy a gamepad." Nuh, uh. I made it my mission to drive the vehicles in the game using a keyboard and mouse or die trying. Since I'm here writing a review, I skipped the dying part. I'm not much of one for gamepads, I guess I'm just old school. In fact, I never really did much gaming at all until recently. So, I'm a rookie in that respect. Anyway, with a little work and just for the fun of it, I now have a functional, tunable script that let's me use a keyboard and mouse to steer the vehicles. It even has keyboard settings to select the tuning for the specific vehicle I'm driving and side mouse buttons that help me spin left or right, making easy to liquidate bandits and Authority thugs at will. Respect MY Authority! I turned a 01:31.184 on Dusty's 8. beating the 2:05 mark by 33.816 seconds. I think it works well enough. I would highly recommend RAGE ! if you like FPS and don't care that it's an older game. BUYER BEWARE! You must have a gamepad to play it unless you use a little ingenuity, or maybe a bit more than a little.

good fps

very fun
