"Rage marries long standing FPS controls with a imperceptible amount of RPG elements, that tangentially rides the line between fun and tedious."

- Ernest Cook

A great deal of time has passed since we witnessed the intellect of John Carmack gracing our computer screens. The innovators behind such classics as Quake and Doom, id Software rise again to bring forth their latest creation since Doom 3. Rage is an apocalyptic tale of humanities struggle to survive an insurmountable force hellbent on reshaping the earth into a “Wasteland” of human refuge. As a planned survivor of the asteroid that wipes out most life on the planet, you begin your journey as the sole progenitor of your Ark, and proceed to free various towns from the reigns of the “Authority.” Throughout this adventure you will take on various tasks that require a point-to-point adventure in your vehicle of choice in order to arrive at and complete your objectives. Sporting brand new technology held inside id Tech 5, we are treated to a pleasant canvas of environments, stock full of items, sounds and people that give the game a unique spin from past id projects.
