RAGE (PS3)

if you have never play this game on the ps3 you are going to want to.

Rage is a lot of fun, although being 4 years old now its beginning to show its age. The graphics are still good, but the expansive world actually doesn't seem that big to me. It is story driven and the concept of free roaming is there but its limited. I've only been playing it for 4 days now, in single player mode and have a feeling that I'm not that far from the end of the game. Admittedly I'm only playing it at normal level, but I'm not particularly good; being quite old! The array of weapons you get to use and the driving are fun. For large parts of the game you are in a special ark suit, which has a unique quality and allows you to effectively recharge yourself, and any enemies (who may think you are dead) get zapped when you miraculously come back to life! So overall its showing its age now, but its still fun, and good value for money as you can get it very cheap now.

The Price says it all really, It is very cheap, and because it is genuinely not that good, but had the potential to be so much more!

Rage was such and interesting game. There is something in it for everyone be it racing to shooting. I found it fun filled and interesting. It was great value for money too. The graphics and sounds effects were great too. It is an all round 5 star game. Glad I looked twice at it and decided to buy. It is the first game I bothered with the multiplayer/online options that is how good it was cause it left me wanting more!!

Really rubbish game played it for 15mins and then left it i knew i should've checked it out on YouTube before i bought it but the game condition and that was fine no hate to the seller just hated the game

At its core Rage is what id Software do best - a visceral shooter with spot-on movement and controls and just the right amount of fear factor to keep you on your toes. But when playing it I was constantly nagged by the thought "I'm glad I didn't pay the release price for this..." because it just doesn't deliver in all the areas it tries to. People have suggested that in its combination of genres - shooter, open-world RPG, and even driving game - Rage is the Icarus of this generation, reaching just too high and falling short. I'd say that was true of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, but definitely not of Rage, a game that half-heartedly dips its toes into several areas with little success: a jack of all trades, and master of none. In terms of environment, Rage uses the well-trodden post-apocalyptic setting seen in Fallout or Borderlands, but with none of the expansive scale of these titles. You'll see glimpses of a wrecked city from afar, but once you get there it turns out to be a series of corridors - and I mean that quite literally: the 'Dead City' section consisted almost entirely of corridors. This kind of linearity has a time and a place, and can work well in some shooters, but when Rage offers players such a tantalising glimpse of a huge, desolated world, only to say "no, sorry, you're back playing Quake again", you can't help but feel a bit cheated. Whether it's driving back and forth through the same narrow canyons, or repeating the same areas again and again on different missions, Rage just feels too small and never delivers on its promises. This sense of an opportunity missed applies to the visuals too. Rage could have been the new visual benchmark for consoles, but just like with the setting, it lets you down. The texture pop-in genuinely affects how you play the game (some particularly 'busy' scenes just don't load up at all until you zoom in, leaving you to peer at a muggy haze of blurred detail), but besides this much-publicised issue there is the really criminal fact that some textures are generations behind. I know that sounds ridiculous, but in some areas it really is that bad, even after the pop-in has finished. Remember that green/grey/brown pixelated mush from PS1 days? It's back. I appreciate that Rage's developers have been incredibly ambitious and were faced with the limitations of the current generation of consoles, but when titles like Killzone 3 and Crysis 2 show what's possible on consoles, Rage's faults seem that much more unforgivable. But the boring setting and irritating visual flaws could be forgiven if the gameplay was inspirational. After all, Fallout 3 and New Vegas are pretty hideous to look at, but nobody complains because we're all so engrossed. This never happens with Rage, because the developers compromised too much and it's painfully obvious. The technical elements of the shooter gameplay are excellent: fantastic AI that dodges, dives and uses cover intelligently; fluid but tight movement; and a decent assortment of weapons. But without believable characters and a living, breathing world, you're just left thinking "Why?" The driving battles almost feel tacked-on as a distraction from the fact that you're making another 1-minute journey between barely-populated settlements just so you can shoot a few people and drive straight back. Of course, this mission structure forms the basis of most of Rockstar's games, particularly GTA and Red Dead Redemption, but the vitality of these games is totally lacking from Rage - I remember one mission when you're sent to rescue someone, only to find they've been killed. When you return, the reaction from the woman who sent you is basically "Oh well." This kind of throwaway remark summed up what disappointed me about Rage: it's a series of fairly good (but never excellent) action sequences strung together by quests that you don't really care about, and in a setting that the developers hoped might instill some pathos.

Rage 3 for PS3 is an excellent game. Great game play and graphics. My daughter also likes this and enjoyed the features. Would not recommend for under twelves.

im still in the initial phase of this game but i have already noticed some issues like the attack padrons of the enemies, some glitches like infinite respawn and for me one of the major ones is the trophy system, sure this is not a problem for all people but a game that is rated 5/10 to achieve platinum sure it got a lot of glitches. Apart of that it has a good exploration mode, the weapons are very cool and the graphics too, with some rage scenes i gave it 4 stars for the price and i am not regreted for buying it.

i also like the different charackter models :) driving sequences are cool (mad max style) five stars for pure happiness.

Buen juego a un precio muy bajo. Lo compré sin conocer demasiado la saga y bueno... no está mal, aunque se le ve algo desfasado ya.

Das Spiel läuft super flüssig mit 60 FPS, was ein großes Plus ist. Hier muss man die Entwickler loben, 60 FPS müssten Standard für Shooter sein. Die Waffen sind gelungen, die Steuerung schön direkt, die Spielmechaniken funktionieren sehr gut. Die Grafik ist schick, bis auf einige absolut unterirdische Texturen und Verzögerungen beim Laden von Umgebungstexturen. Die Charaktere sehen sehr gut aus und sind gut animiert, auch die "Städte" sind attraktiv und atmosphärisch. LEIDER ziehen das Spiel einige Sachen runter: Die Story ist.... fast nicht existent und völlig langweilig, der eigene Charakter hat keinen Charakter. Die Kämpfe sind völlig anspruchslos, ich habe auf dem höchsten Schwierigkeitsgrad gespielt und war nicht gefordert. Und dann das Ende.... das letzte Level und das Ende gehören zu den schlechtesten der Geschichte. Ich saß vor dem TV und dachte mir nur "Huch... wie, schon vorbei?". Kein Endgegner, kein großer Endkampf, ich habe die BFG (stärkste Waffe im Spiel, bekommt man im letzten Level) nicht ein mal abgefeuert, weil ich sie für das Ende aufheben wollte... und dann war das Spiel vorbei. Es gab keine Auflösung der Geschichte, lediglich eine nichts-sagende Videosequenz. Fazit: Als Shooterfan kann man es spielen, weil die Mechaniken passen und es gut funktioniert. Man verpasst aber auch nichts, wenn man es nicht tut.

Netter, nicht-linearer Shooter mit packenden Kämpfen, witzigen Rennspieleinlagen und hervorragender Grafik. Multiplayer lediglich im Rennspielpart, was den Gesamteindruck minimal trübt.
