RAGE is a groundbreaking first-person shooter set in the not-too-distant future after an asteroid impacts Earth, leaving a ravaged world behind. You emerge into this vast wasteland to discover humanity working to rebuild itself against such forces as bandit gangs, mutants, and the Authority – an oppressive government regime that has a special interest in you in particular. Featuring intense first-person shooter action, breakneck vehicle combat, an expansive world to explore and jaw-dropping graphics powered by id’s revolutionary id Tech® 5 technology, RAGE promises an experience like no other.
Fearing a planet-wide extinction from a massive asteroid headed towards Earth, world leaders are faced with the inexorable task of ensuring human survival. Left with few alternatives, life-sustaining pods filled with select people are buried deep beneath the earth’s surface. You are one of the chosen members of these modern day arks and abruptly enter the RAGE universe after surfacing alone. Leaving you to your own devices to stay alive in a world filled with those who prefer you dead, RAGE combines powerful storytelling with heart-pounding action.
Key Features:
Visceral 1st-person gunplay and exploration – Take on bandit gangs and hordes of mutants using an arsenal of exotic weapons and special items, such as Wingsticks, personal turrets, sentry bots, and remote-controlled bomb cars. Frenetic 3rd-person vehicular mayhem – Burn rubber across the wasteland in your very own super buggy! Upgrade and customize your car with special parts, paint jobs and weapons, then test your skills as you battle four-wheeling bandit clans and participate in deadly races. An expansive experience – Beyond the first-person action and vehicle combat, RAGE offers a world open to explore, with unique characters, side quests, and a compelling storyline. Graphics that have to be seen to be believed – Powered by id’s cutting-edge new id Tech® 5 engine, new Megatexture technology brings the vast wasteland to life in never-before- possible detail with action running at an astounding 60 frames per second. Three ways to play for non-stop action - Immerse yourself in a rich single-player story, exclusive co-op modes, or intense on-line car combat

For anyone wanting this game on XBox 360 or XBox One (it's backwards Compatible), it's very cheap at Music Magpie - £1.89
Well worth it. Great game. And with a bit of John Goodman to help you out. :smiley:

It's certainly good enough to take a punt at that price, for anyone in doubt

Underrated. It's better than Doom 4 in some ways.

I wouldn't go that far, its heavily dated from what I remember playing it a few months ago - its an amazing game, and for little over £2 definitely worth a play.
Two completely different games regardless though.

I played Rage last year and I'm in the middle of Doom now.
Rage has more interesting environments, and there's more variety in the things you have to do. (Heck, there's even a pretty decent racing section thrown in!)
I'd say that Doom's combat has much in common with Rage's: they both involve frantic combat against rabid, highly agile enemies, every weapon is useful, and meleeing is crucial.

Remember getting this at launch, played it a bit and just when I thought the game was going to open up it finished. But it was good while it lasted.

Can't tell from the page if this is the Anarchy Edition or not - in my opinion essential since the bonus gun in that package is a double barrel shotgun that's ludicrously fun to use. Had a blast playing this game - the combat is terrific - my only complaint was I wanted more of it and to have no downtime driving around to get to it! Also it takes a bit of tweaking to fix some residual bugs with the texture streaming (the game fails to generate the folder for the temp texture cache, iirc). Much of the character modelling is really great, too, along with the animation, especially in hit detection and death animations. Blapping muties with both barrels is ace.

You probably wouldn't find out until you redeemed the code sadly.
