Review by IGN

“…Despite the lack of genuinely exciting context, all the content packed into Rage is still a blast to play, including the surprisingly entertaining car combat mode and co-operative challenges. Rage isn’t revolutionary, but is an expertly crafted, beautiful shooter.” 8.5/10

Review by Gamespot

“Rage creates an engrossing world full of dazzling detail and entertaining shooter action.”
THE GOOD – Remarkable visual design, A host of charismatic characters, Enjoyable array of weapons and items, Speedy and gratifying vehicular action.
THE BAD – Story isn't strong enough to make you care about the primary conflict, You must remember to save manually or risk losing significant progress.

“…the lengthy campaign can last upward of 20 hours for avid racers and diligent questers. Though the story gets a bit too cliched, there is a robust amount of adventuring to be done in a world that rewards you for your attentions. Rage is a beautiful game that looks equally stunning with or without the hefty installation (which reduces the load times and is optional on the 360 but required on the PS3), so regardless of which platform you play on, you'll find a rich and rewarding adventure that sets a new visual standard for the postapocalyptic wasteland.” 8/10
