If you were worried about RAGE being not all that great, go ahead and breathe a sigh of relief. EGM has their review up of the latest offering from id Software and it's looking to be well worth everyone's hard earned dollar. The digital magazine issued the game a 9.5 out of 10 score.
In the end, it’s this desire to differentiate that takes Rage from the realm of everyday shooter and into something much more rewarding. Not exactly a traditional id aim-and-shoot, just shy of exactly an RPG, and just a few features short of a full-blown car-combat simulator, Rage is a little of all these things—and, as a result, something much greater than the sum of its parts. Though it’s not without its faults, it’s a game that immediately struck me as a new high-water mark for the folks at id, and while its apparent desire to set itself up for a sequel kept it from finishing on as high a note as I would’ve liked, Rage is, without question, the most polished, engrossing id title to date, and it’s a must-play for FPS fans looking for the Next Big Thing in action gaming.
THE GOOD: Stellar shooting, addictive multiplayer, RPG elements
THE BAD: Lackluster ending, no FPS multiplayer, occasional design hiccups
THE UGLY: Not even the apocalypse can stamp out evil corporations...
