New hands-on impressions for RAGE

Just before QuakeCon, we took RAGE on the road to let journalist play the game — from the start — for a few hours. Coming off the tour, there’s tons of new previews to check out. Here’s the rundown…

• Destructoid — “It’s fun, there’s a lot to do, and the tech behind it is incredible.”
• Joystiq — “From what I played, Rage is a seemingly strange mix of ingredients that comes together well enough to remind you why first-person shooters can be so exciting.”
• 1Up –Rage may already be the best Id game ever.
• Kotaku — “RAGE is the id Software Comback I’ve Been Waiting For”
• PlayStation.Blog — “Rage is easily among the best-looking first-person shooters I’ve seen this console generation”
• Giant Bomb — “Fantastic lighting, richly detailed environments, and expressive, fully-realized characters exist within this world.”
• Cheat Code Central — “If the first three hours of RAGE are any indication, id Software has an addictive surefire hit on their hands.”
• RipTen — “After playing it – Bethesda was lucky they didn’t have to pry the controller from the palms of my sweaty nerdy hands.”
• GameXplain — “Bioshock meets Fallout 3”
• MTV Multiplayer — “An id Software that has more of a story to tell than just an amazing headshot.”
• Strategy Informer — “It’s definitely my tip for best FPS of 2011…”
• GameReactor — “We know we’ve only seen a small chunk thus far, but, racing aside, the separate gameplay factors alone are enough to excite, and together form a stunning FPS that we hope lives up to our renewed expectations.”
• PC Gamer — Interview with Tim Willits
• GamesRadar — “Five very important things we’ve learned from the opening two hours”
