RAGE 2 Standard Edition - Xbox One

My review is based on about 4-5 hours of play and from what I've seen so far the game is better than I expected. It's a little slow at first but gets better as you acquire more powerful weapons, abilities and powers. It does require a bit of searching to find all the good stuff but is worth it making the game more enjoyable. The graphics and sound are excellent but the characters look a little cartoony when seen up-close. The weapons are varied and have a nice feel while the driving is more than adequate for it's intended purpose. All in all, a good shooter to hold me over until Doom Eternal arrives.

The shooting in Rage 2 is like a slightly wacky version of any one of the more recent Id Software titles, so it's exceptional. The driving is a bit slow, but also feels fun throughout the game. Graphically, the game is impressive on an Xbox One X, but only runs at 30fps on the S or original (as opposed to 60fps/1080p on the X). Its gameplay loop is most like a Far Cry, but I'm not sure the structure is as polished—but who cares? The shooting is what you're here for, and I'd compare it to Doom or Wolfenstein II in terms of overall quality and fun factor.

Fun FPS/Open World game. Set in a Mad Max -esqe style world, fun gunplay and world design. The game can get stale after a while, kind of reminds me of Borderlands...similar tasks, repetitive gameplay. If you like that type of gameplay, you might take it as a huge plus. Solid game overall.

I really enjoyed my time with Rage. The game play reminds me a lot of Doom but in an open world with vehicles and a lot of missions. The missions are fun but there is not a lot of variety to them. The weapons and powers are the real treat for the game and feel great. It is really fun to take out a base camp full of enemies. Overall the story is okay for what it is, I wasn't expecting much so I enjoyed most of the story and game play loop.

I loved the first Rage game back on Xbox 361, the great visuals and open world were fun and exciting to explore. Rage 2 take it's up a notch offer better visuals, a larger open world and more to do in the world. The shooting is excellent and the enemies are fun to shoot at. Only downfall is some of the world feels empty for no reason but to just exist but maybe that will be fixed with future updates. Definitely worth a look!

This is a good game, especially for fans of the first Rage. I was able to get this one on sale at a good price, so that definitely bumped up my rating. For the price, you can't go wrong here. The gameplay is fun, and the graphics/art style are quite nice. I recommend this one to fans of over-the-top FPS games. They, like me, will likely have a good time with this one.

The shooting is tight and responsive similar to the Doom game that came out a few years ago. But the open world is empty and the driving doesn't even seem necessary. Dont expect a great story and some of the NPCs are cringe inducing. Still the shooting is great I'll give it 4 stars for that alone.
