Rage (Xbox 360, 2011)

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.

Most of these reviews on here really don't know what a good game is. RAGE doesn't have any relevance to Fallout, that game sucked. Red Dead Redemption doesn't have any relevance to this game either, so the review saying that these two games combined makes up the basis of RAGE is very inaccurate.

The graphics are great, the gameplay is easy, the storyline is not that short, but short enough to not lose players or confuse players.

There are plenty of weapons at your disposal, plus the ammo for these weapons can be upgraded. You can engineer your own weapons like a turret gun and RC car bombs.

The ability to have not only a first person shooter, but also incorporating vehicles to race as well as weapon attachments for these vehicles gives a player the best of both worlds. Destruction and survival are the basis of this game.

There are plenty of enemies all with different abilities, weapons and armor. The difference in the enemies abilities keeps the player more involved in the game and the storyline doesn't get boring.

I haven't played the multiplayer co-op or online yet, but I'm sure it's just as good as the campaign mode.

This is definitely a must have for the 360 and based on the prices that it is going for on Ebay, you are not wasting your money but making a good investment!

Fair Game NOTHING Like the HYPE.. I could have left if on ebay and spent money on something else. I played it and moved on up the stage of the game but not all that to me..

The Game was incredible. It is like a less complicated version of Fallout: New Vegas: Desert-like climate, Picking up things from junk to upgrades, and mediocre graphics. The 2 advantages to it is: you get to drive vehicles and it isn't so complicated or hard like Fallout: New Vegas. The only thing I Hated about the Game is the ending. Not only is it too short, but it also doesn't make much sense unless you think about it for a day or 2 (Which i did). If you are a Hardcore Player, this game isn't for ya. If you are a person who likes Sandbox games, go on ahead.

We have not played this yet but we just made sure the game was working and from what we can see the Graphics are **AWESOME**
