Red Ded Redemption + Bioshock + Fall Out = RAGE
9 of 11 found this helpful If you threw in a cup Red Dead Redemption, a dash of Bioshock, and a heap load of Fall Out into a blender and pressed "puree", the resulting goo would be RAGE.
The Ugly: Much like the well endowed blonde at your local bar, RAGE is a stunning game that is highly amusing for awhile, but the lack of overall depth causes you to quickly loose interest and move on to better things.
The Bad: If you're looking for an openworld game like Fall Out or Skyrim, look elsewhere. RAGE follows in Final Fantasy 13's ill placed footsteps by playing out as a "long, but pretty hallway". There is little in the way of sidequests--few that there are will have you playing fetch--and the main story arc is short lived and terribly understated. Answers to questions about the plot are sporadically thrown at you, and the "main bad guy" never evern makes it to the screen. The bulk of your gameplay will either be spent in the race circuit, earning certificates to bulk up your ride (which has a disappointingly small amount of options in the way of customization) or crusing the wasteland to your next mission.
The Good: While not having a terribly diverse group of bad guys, you're hard pressed to grow bored of slaughtering them. With explosive RC cars, killer boomerangs (wingsticks), and adorable freaking spider drones--to name a few-- there's always a new and clever way to desimate your enemy.
While the game is short-lived the graphics are stunning. The attention to detail in each town and environment is worthy of praise, and you never feel as though the "copy and paste" button was abused in the creation of RAGE.
Overall: If you want a game that's trigger happy and not storyline heavy then by all means, pick up a copy of RAGE. If you can grab a used copy at a decent price or borrow a friends, I would say , because this flawed gem deserves some acknowledgement. Just dont pay full price for a new copy like I did.
