PoV: Rage impressions

id Software and Bethesda's latest title, Rage, came out this week. How does the game hold up early on?

Rage feels very much like a Fallout title. The world has been largely destroyed due to an asteroid impact on Earth, resulting in a wasteland (cleverly named the Wasteland) being controlled by rogue gangs and bandits.

The gameplay itself feels like a recent Fallout title, only without the RPG elements. First person gunfights feel much more natural and fluid, and the game's visuals are pretty fantastic despite an incredibly bland and boring setting. One major issue with the visuals, however, are with texture rendering. Textures will oftentimes be slow to render, resulting in muddy surfaces suddenly becoming detailed.

Rage features vehicles in the form of an ATV and a buggy, making traveling from location to location a painless procedure.

Expect a full review in the coming days. For now, what do you think of Rage? Let us know in the comments section below and be sure to continue the discussion on our community forums.

I wasn't too thrilled with this game when I first started playing it. I am starting to become a fan more and more as the game progresses, but yes it is really similar to the Fallout series and even has a few Oblivion aspects throw in there as well (character voice, picking up plants, jump with Y). I however just played through the Dead City mission and it was fantastic and I'm really looking forward to the rest of the game. I won't ruin why I think that specific mission was good, but it brought much more of the Doom type feel back to the shooter aspect of the game, and the scenery was specatularly disgusting. It's not a 10 out of 10 for me, but a good game nonetheless.

But I am going to return it based on feedback from friends that have played it. A good me too fps but nothing great. Will pick it up next year.
