Feels like a mashup of some great games!
It feels to me like a modern version of DOOM but with some motorstorm and missions thrown in, the missions are very short and are done in a tony hawks underground style (which I love by the way) eg: the story a character is telling which will guide you into the mission they are about to give you wont make complete sense but they never take long getting to the punch line so you can be on your way.
The motorstorm type mechanics of the racing are actually far superior than motorstorm itself and the weapon mods for your vehicle can be alot of fun.
The graphics are very hit or miss with outstanding visuals and some obvious lazy detailing on unusable items lying around.
This ruins a games looks in my opinion as I would rather see a couple of smooth, well detailed items than 10 items that appear to have been rushed.
The games engine which introduces a new way of how textures are loaded has a bit of lag loading the textures during some fast scenes, this will really annoy some perfectionists but it didnt seem to bother me. As the game fails to impress with overall graphics I would have liked id to opt for a normal type of engine which would cut out the lag issues.
Even though RAGE does not stand out in any area there is still something very addictive about it and i'm sure I wont be playing another game until this one is finished, so overall if you have been a fan of id's shooters in the past, or if you are the impatient type that like's to get straight into the action RAGE is a worthy buy and will keep you enteratained for the duration of the game.
