AMAZING game. I'm only playing on 360 and it's beautiful. You've got to install it to get the most out of it, takes 10-20 minutes to install all three discs, but it's worth it. Hours have been ticking away like minutes since I started playing!

lol, how the hell would you get it for free? It just came out today!  :rofl

Sorry. Anyway, no. I don't even think this game is going to get a price drop to $50 or $40 until Summer 2012 (I am not citing anything I'm just guessing). If it goes Platinum during the Holiday you might be able to get a deal early next year, but free ain't happening for more than a decade, dude. Unless you steal/torrent it.  :aok

Everything about PS3 is slower, slower installations because of Bluray, and slower updates for God knows what reason (updates on 360 games are less than 30 seconds). Its multiplayer service is laughably inferior (The price of one game a year to triple the value of every SP&MP game in your library? Bargain!), and graphical quality between the multiplatform games (read: most games) is negligibly different but often favors the 360 (Rage, for example). The only thing I envy of Sony customers is some of the software they get that I'll never play; Uncharted, Metal Gear, Gran Turismo, inFamous, SOCOM, God of War... but I'll live. The whole console fanboy argument is moot anyway because we all know the 5-6 year old consoles are jokes compared to PC.

Anyway, Rage is not a Fallout knock-off, it's more comparable to Borderlands but that's still stretching. The games been in development for 5 years, only first demoing 2 or 3 years ago. The gunplay is classic id FPS action the way they've always done but revamped with wicked AI that features the best and most unpredictable animations I've ever seen. The only real RPG element is inventory management by trading at stores (selling loot and buying ammo), using loot to craft items like turrets, and upgrading your vehicle... not really in-depth at all. The vehicle gameplay is surprisingly fun but it's inconsequential to the game, you only really NEED your vehicle for crossing the Wasteland (so far there doesn't seem to be a fast-travel system), all the vehicle combat is just a way to have fun en route.

Well Bethesda did help them with it, but if you did your research you would know that.

(Question: Can you get different vehicles?)

Yes, you start with an ATV (non-upgradable), then you get a Buggy that you can earn upgrades for by racing, and the same for the Cuprino (basically a rally racing truck). That's it. You don't find vehicles and steal them, the vehicles you earn are the ones you get and are all you've got. The ATV is unarmed, the Buggy can carry rockets OR guns, and the Cuprino can be up-armored and carry rockets AND guns. There are also different "Mario Kart" style weapons and stuff you can deploy from your vehicle, such as mines or bombs that will follow and escort you, there are also shields and a repair tool that you can use while your moving during combat.

I must say the controls are awesome for the 360, driving is a blast with the controller and the gunplay doesn't feel hindered at all by the analog sticks. There are some sniping sidequest missions though that are REALLY difficult even with the CoD style aim-assist that you can enable, I'm sure they're much more enjoyable with a mouse. Weapon, ammo, and gadget selection on the controller are fluid but you do have to stop moving to change your weapon because it uses dual radial menus.

When you hold down RB/R1 you use the right stick to select your weapon and the left stick to select the kind of ammo to load into it. LB/L1 deploys your gadget whether it be a grenade, RC bomb car, turret, wingstick, or personal bandage and that gadget is selected by the D-pad. It's a little easier to drop a turret, chuck a grenade, and heal yourself than it is to snipe someone and switch to your shotgun if somebody sneaks up on you, but that's just what you have to deal with using an inferior control scheme to mouse+keyboard combo. You just gotta' be mindful to switch weapons from behind cover really, it's not that big of a deal.

Sprint is on the left stick and melee is on the right stick, CoD style. Connecting a melee hit is kind of hard though (I'm playing on Hard), the enemy doesn't just sit still when you run up on them. It's more of a defensive move if you're reloading or have the wrong weapon in your hands imo.

One cool feature that I want to make sure I don't forget to mention is the defibrillator mini-game. If your defibrillator is charged (seems to take about 5 minutes, which is a pretty long time for a firefight) you can perform a quick-time event style mini-game if you're killed and depending on how well you do you are revived with more health and any enemy within about 2 yards is stunned/killed by the static charge. It's a really cool way to keep on slugging on without Bioshock style vita-chambers or having to go back to your last save (there is no checkpoint system, you want to manually save often).

It's actually about 20GB, it's a big game. You definitely want to install, especially if you're loading off of a Blu-ray.

Well Bethesda did help them with it, but if you did your research you would know that.

Bethesda is just the publisher, and I don't think id needs any help, especially from the likes of Bethesda's development house *yuck*.

Hmm Rage has been getting absolutely crush reviews on PC side. Glitching and sucky textures.
