I'm playing Rage at the moment and I feel something is missing indeed, I'm not really having fun with it, sure its pretty, got weapons and good characters, but I think that YOUR character is the one that is wrong, he doesn't give me a RAGE drive to go on with the story and figure what's going on, also the story is weak as week and the flow of the combat feels terrible.
Ugh, I might return it tommorow because I can't find many things that I like with it, then I'll feel sorry for the rest of my Rage stuff. (Got a special edition from Eb Games from here in Aus and it gave me more stuff, including a wingstick, badges and a piece of art.
