While one of the best parts of the game, it’s also one of the smallest, unfortunately, as there only a handful of these missions currently. Sure, the spinning gorilla of death makes a return, but now there’s a room with giant electric pendulums. MBTV is bigger, better, and even more over the top. Rage 2, just like its predecessor, is at it’s best when it stops trying to take itself so seriously and just lets the player have fun blowing enemies up in creative ways. Mutant Bash TV, the murderous game show - a kind of Family Double Dare meets guns - makes a return and is still one of the best parts of the game. Here racing takes a back seat with events that seem few and far between spread out across the map. Racing was a big part of the first game, or at least it was one of the more enjoyable parts for me. Thankfully, there’s a flying vehicle you can unlock fairly early on in the game that makes flying in a straight line from point A to point B possible, cutting down the time it takes, but doing nothing to improve the excitement of travel. Apart from locations that specifically show up on your radar or map, the world is all twisty-and-turny roads that just aren’t fun to drive, and driving off-road is practically impossible thanks to all the garbage and debris spread about. but that doesn’t mean it’s fun or good. The open world feels like a mostly empty desert, which I suppose is the point since it’s called “the Wasteland” There’s loud engine sounds and practically no other audio while driving from location to location. ThereĪre so many open world games releasing these days and Rage 2 brings practically nothing new to the genre, nor does it doĪnything particularly well apart from the shooty bits.ĭriving in the original game was repetitive, sure, but here it is downright dull. Use, but that would oversell you, as RageĢ is easily one of the most forgettable games I’ve played this year. I could gush about how much fun each gun is to Rage 2 (Bethesda Stoftworks): Screenshot taken by the reviewer The assault rifle has little to no recoil and easily stun locks enemies while tearing off their armor. The combat shotgun rips enemies to shreds or has an alternate fire that can push enemies over edges to their demise, for instance. Pretty early on superpowers are unlocked that allow bolting around the battlefield, double jumping, and even floating a bit, all of which feels great, especially when paired with guns that feel as if they were basically ripped from Doom. The movement and gunplay here are fantastic, surely thanks in no small part to Id Software. Rage 2 does most everything a sequel should do, but still somehow feels dated and lacking any real stand out characteristics.
#RAGE 2 CO OP SOFTWARE#
8 years after the original Rage, we are getting a sequel co-developed by Id Software (of Doom fame), and Avalanche Studios, best known for the Just Cause series, Mad Max, and recent stinker Generation Zero.
