Xboxer360: Rage Review

Xboxer360's Kris Wall writes: The front cover of RAGE states “From the creators of Doom and Quake”, which in gaming terms might as well be the equivalent of winning the Nobel peace price or a seat in the Oval Office, you’d be hard pushed to find a higher accolade bestowed upon a company. Since Wolfenstein 3d first hit in 1992, id Software have been considered the godfathers of the FPS genre. From their signature Doom series through to Quake which revolutionised online gaming, and finally with the pulp fiction of Return to Castle Wolfenstein, my favourite FPS of all time, id have constantly evolved and pushed the genre forwards, it’s entirely arguable (Because there’s always someone who likes to argue) that without id, there would be no Battlefield or Call of Duty, at least not in the capacity we have come to know them anyway. RAGE is id’s first new game for 14 years, teaming up with Bethesda Softworks (Fallout3 & Elder Scrolls) is surely one of gamings greatest collaborations, what happens when the masters of the FPS genre collide with the kings of open world RPG games? A hell of a lot of awesome, let me tell you why RAGE will leave you feeling anything but.
