Do you feel games similar to Fallout 3 are a little too open-ended? Or maybe Call of Duty is too linear? Well, Rage is some kind of happy medium between the two and it’s unlike anything id has done before.<\/em> Read more <\/a><\/p>\n Gametrailers <\/strong>9\/10<\/p>\n We never imagined that the RPG elements would be so vast or deftly handled, resulting in a pleasant surprise. A near-perfect mix of first-person shooting and role-playing, it’s a nice fit for those who felt too detached from the gun play in Fallout 3 or Mass Effect. <\/em>Read more <\/a><\/p>\n CVG<\/strong> 8.9\/10<\/p>\n The house of Doom delivers a masterful single-player shooter with top notch gunplay, let down by a disappointing final third.<\/em> Read more <\/a><\/p>\n IGN<\/strong> 8.5\/10<\/p>\n The great controls and useful weapon upgrades help make Rage’s shooting parts a lot of fun, but the storyline fails to create any real tension and the game’s characters, friendly and hostile, never do or say anything memorable. <\/em>Read more <\/a><\/p>\n Eurogamer<\/strong> 8\/10<\/p>\n Judged on game design and content, then, it’s slightly anachronistic, but as a toy box full of things you can only do in games, Rage is warm-hearted and refreshing.
