Shooter in the upper middle

Lasted little has however due to some negatives (see below), but first just the positives:

Rage is more or less a classic shooter. One can tinker as the game of cars and new weapons and in most various types of ammunition find / build, as well as all sorts of other mostly technical ingredients, but a "real character development" such as. The Bethesda-Stall own Fallout is not it. However, the weapons are quite cool, well not necessarily overpowered.

The game world is an individual linear teiweise is also trying to make OpenWorld moderate the game, you can sometimes also take long and wide through the area, but completely free you can not move. The graphics (especially on PS3 ratios) partly very presentable, but as always, of course, there's also times muddy textures.

The missions are all quite simple, you have here and there and meet anyone, give something or get. The different levels are designed abwechlungsreich, background sound good - comes quite mood. Well done are also the enemies, because they very often but are "unfamiliar" lively and sometimes arrive very artistic delivered hops / climbed a / sprinting, which knows how to reduce the accuracy quite ^^

Also nice are the minigames and side quests, both felt make up roughly one to two dozen. What also is great fun and Rage is different from other shooters, are the car racing phases / games, the control will be indeed learned, but then cool stunts and rocket or Minigunschlachten are implemented already full of action.

The missions in split-screen are found to be also OK, but shooter in its purest form, ie almost act with nothing, only ammunition and shoot down everything. Negative but falls here much weight that you can not save and there are no checkpoints, which is hard tedious, if both players are killed shortly before the end of a (long) mission and you have to play everything again ...

For multiplayer I can not say anything because I almost never play in MP, here we refer to other reviewers.

Basically following negative things I noticed:

The nachladenden textures - much discussed, one learns to live with it, but sometimes nervts already and other publishers (Ubisoft - FarCry 3) the men can be better.

Furthermore, the opponent could still be a bit of different types (although there are mutants, bandits and robot soldiers etc, but look at it with each other very similar) ...

Very bad however is the end, because it is as well known:

[Caution if necessary. Spoiler]
You press a few buttons, no bosses, no epic battle with the Arks against the Authority's henchmen, but simply Extro and from the mouse ...

This is bad. Of course it does not have to always be the CINEMATIC story, but there already shooters like COD series or Crysis are better implemented. That was also the reason why I have put away selbiges to 85% of the game for three months, the tension is simply too flat and the end as I said even flatter.

In summary:
RAGE can even gamble sometimes in co-op, if it were me have been too expensive for 60 EUR, but whosoever gets to 20-30 EUR and for the shooter genre which has left can be accessed safely. Also yes there on Youtube now all walkthrougs the net, because you get NEN good impression.
