My goodness, Rage was good ("in many ways")?!
I guess I'm somehow not of this planet.
Rage would have been good in the earliest years of 2000, maybe. If it wasn't for the vehicles I would've guessed the game didn't even have a proper physics engine -- corpses surely didn't!
The graphics looked horribly crap. Shadows looked moreso like ugly phlegms of green than actually shadows. And not to mention the texture pop-ups. Actually the entire game was a freaking insult to the entire PC platform.
Rage was good. Heh...
