Do you realize it has been since 2004 since id Software has released a game?   Doom 3 was handled by the folks at id, but Quake IV and Enemy Territory: Quake Wars was handled by Raven and Splash Damage, respectively.  Doom 3 was very well received by the press and public alike.

Hyperbole is something that is generated quite a lot in the video game industry, arguably more so than the movie industry.  Rage was announced four years ago, resulting in an explosion of hype.

It does seem like Relentless Software are trying to extend to the Buzz template a little bit more with the user generated rounds and the Move controller mode, but they end up being under developed gimmicks.

Plenty of variation in the music trivia; The Paper Face feature is fun; if a little creepy; Well presented in its tongue-in-cheek way

You need to like and know about music; Move inclusion is a gimmick; Simply more of the same

You're told only that you and your fellow Ark survivors are "special." You're never quite told how, besides the fact that your body is coursing with nanotechnology that allows you to defibrillate yourself back to life if you die. But by the end of Rage, we'd figured it out.

+ Gorgeous graphics; + Satisfying weapons; combat; and controls

? When you click on some sewer areas in the Wasteland; you're told to buy DLC to unlock them?!?

Good beginning, brilliant middle, lousy end

Smooth shooting; Entertaining; Brilliant for around ten hours

Fuzzy close-up textures; Rushed ending

You'll be enRAGEd if you don't experience id's latest gaming opus

Fantastic shooting action that id software is famous for; great driving mechanics with a fully fledged racing game included; subtle RPG elements allow for character growth without being overwhelming; astounding graphics with buttery smooth frame rate; superb AI; excellent multiplayer

No map or customizable waypoint system; a few minor graphics glitches; open world isn't as large as others in the genre; no competitive FPS multiplayer; some long load times

I'm sorry id Software. I was wrong about you. When Bethesda gave me an opportunity to get hands-on with the first few hours of RAGE at QuakeCon, I walked away from the game unimpressed.

The postapocalyptic future looks better than ever. From the moment you step out under the brilliant, cloud-studded sky of a ruined world, Rage proclaims its technical and artistic mastery.

Remarkable visual design; A host of charismatic characters; Enjoyable array of weapons and items; Speedy and gratifying vehicular action

Story isn't strong enough to make you care about the primary conflict; You must remember to save manually or risk losing significant progress

Top Notch game all round A+, to install this game it will take 22gb of your hard drive as it has 3 discs to install.

Visiblement, le destin de notre héros du jour n'est pas des plus tendres. Seul survivant de son équipe, envoyée on ne sait pourquoi sur cette terre dévastée, notre héros est à peine remis sur ses deux jambes que le voilà attaqué par une bande de brigands.

Richesse du contenu; Immersion complète; Bande son; Prise en main rapide; Diversité des ennemis

Redondant sur l'enchaînement des missions; Un multi volontairement en retrait; Quelques défauts techniques
