Retro Ad Replay: Rage 10th Anniversary

It’s time for another Retro Ad Replay article! This is the series where we head backward in time to reminisce and celebrate the anniversary of some of the most significant moments in gaming. If you find yourself wanting more content like this, be sure to visit Mandatory.com.

In this October 4 edition of Retro Ad Replay, we’re traveling back 10 years in time to when Rage first launched on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. That’s October 4, 2011. Developed by id Software and published by Bethesda Softworks, this post-apocalyptic game gave players a ton of guns, some awesome vehicles, and let them loose on the open world. Players were invited to go on their own Mad Max-style adventure.

GameRevolution awarded Rage a 7/10 in our review, praising the “best in first-person shooting” gameplay, the “excellent car combat,” good “enemy AI,” “guns, guns, guns,” and more.

You should play RAGE. With a never-ending list of distractions and a fully realized post-apocalyptic world to explore, ID SOFTWARE’s latest feels more like RED DEAD REDEMPTION than FALLOUT 3. The shame is that it never reaches the heights those two titles have, instead relegating itself to a litany of annoying fetch quests interspersed with breathtaking first-person shooter action.

At its best, RAGE is the most varied and engaging experience id Software has ever developed. At its worst, it feels like MOWING THE LAWN after Saturday morning cartoons. There is so much to love in the wasteland, but quests feel like they took a backseat to the engine. Games shouldn’t focus so exclusively on graphics anymore; dedicated design work, not merely a pretty face, can yield an engaging experience for players moment to moment. Regardless, RAGE represents the most exciting first-person shooting in gaming bar none. If you’ve got a small dose of patience and a willingness to explore, you’ve got to play this game.
