Rage

Visually the game is excellent and after playing both Fallout and New Vegas, i had high hopes for Rage. Unfortunately i completed the game within 6 hours which is similar time it took to complete the last James Bond game (rubbish).
Purposely left a lot of the side missions till the end which was a mistake as when you complete the main game, the titles appear and the only option is to go back to the main screen. if like me you keep overwriting your previous saved game, you can only continue campaign from where you last left off (generally towards the very end) which means you have to start a complete new game again.
Wish i hadn't paid 38 quid for this and just rented it as it can easily be completed over a weekend.
On the up side, you do get a short time of excellence but it ain't close to Fallout.

Only seems like I just started playing this and its over. I got near the end and was thinking "right, this game is about to get really good now with whats going on", and the credits started rolling. Total rip off, do not buy this game, rent it if you want to play it. Also the discription mentions an "expansive world to explore", maybe I missed something because it didn't seem very expansive at all. It's certainly not an open world and you are very limited on where you can go, and even when you do get there, there's not much point of being there as there's barely anything to collect. I thought this game was going to be like Fallout, I played that for 72 hours and still haven't explored the whole map. I'm not really into the online multiplayer side of games, so spending close to 40 pounds on this has really anoyed me, especially since it's not the kind of game you can re-play over and over. Will be seeing if I can trade this in towards Resistance, wish I'd just bought that in the first place as I was originally going to do. I think I will steer clear of Bethesda games from now on.

This game is truly something to behold! The graphics are immense and not only is the story (so far!) pure class but the game engine is pin point accurate to tailor the needs of any Shooter fan! A must buy!

RAGE is finally here and boy what a game it is. After all the awards from various shows I was expecting great things and this game sure delivers. From Multiplayer car carnage to the epic single player campaign, there is something for everyone and it's a joy to play.

The multiplayer is based around vehicular rampages set in various different maps all of which are stunning to look at and provide a satisfying environment in which to go about your task, whether it be simply destroying your opponents in a free-for-all setting or collecting items. There is 4 game types to keep you interested, with emblems to unlock and show off as well as stats pages to see how you stack up against your friends. The online play is smooth and gets you into a game quickly with few 'host migration' problems. So far i've seen 1 migration and it just puts you right back into game, no booting to the lobby like in Black Ops!

The single player is immense, with sharp graphics and missions that keep you wanting more. Loads of jobs and side quests that add to the story rather than get in the way and characters that are engaging and interesting. The FPS side of things is very well done with the controls being familiar to those who play Battlefield and COD. The weaponry is limited at the start but you quickly uncover upgrades and better ammo and if you have the anarchy edition you get the double barrel shotty...that thing is packin' some serious heat!!

Overall I would highly recommend this game with its crazy cool car combat and fantastic FPS elements and graphics. Great fun! 10/10

Rage made Doom, Quake & Wolfenstein. Classic on any console. Bethesda made Fallout, Elder Scrolls etc. Again, amazing games. What the hell went wrong here? Whilst the game look fantastic, and for the short duration plays ok. The problem? It's far too short and far from original. We've seen it done before. And a million times better. It's like a jumped up little upstart to the immensity that was Borderlands. For me this game failed on all expectations. Bring on Borderlands 2!
