Tried out the Rage demo they put on Xbox Live. Overall, it feels like a game that tries to do too many things without excelling at any of them. Im not entirely sure what the point of having towns is, since I just seem to run back and forth between people, something that's not really worthwhile. It also seems you can carry infinite loot, which is sort of cool, but there doesn't seem to be much to do with it.
I suppose it is a design choice to have it be a linear shooter at its core, but I really don't have a taste for this type of gameplay anymore. 5 enemies rushing me while I can barely move because the environment is too small while having to deal with cumbersome controls is not my idea of fun.
Graphics look good though.
