Game concept
While id Software with the previous computer game Doom and Quake series developed pure first-person shooter genre and decisively coined in the 1990s, the development studio with Rage wanted by both the gameplay and the game world began a new path. Rage can also be assigned to the first-person shooter genre in essence, but it also contains combat vehicle, racing games and simple role-playing elements.
In contrast to the linear level design in recent FPS games often encountered Rage has a more open game design. The gameplay designed by side missions that can optionally be followed in addition to the main missions, not strictly linear. However, it is not a genuine open - world game and it was not planned by the developers as such. Also, interactions between the player character and non-player Charaktern are part of the gameplay. As usual with role-playing games, the player of different people can take against a certain reward jobs and the environment for Loot ( booty ) search. But the main thing is the fight in the first-person perspective against different types of opponents with a large number of different weapons in linear rather held game sections.
Multiplayer
Rage has two multiplayer modes: Road Rage and Legends of the Wasteland. With Road Rage occur up to four players in a free -for-all match. These matches will be conducted in arenas with vehicles. The objective is to collect as many points as possible by destroying an enemy vehicle and steals his points. Legends of the Wasteland comprises a series of two-player co -op missions based on the story of the single player campaign. In this game mode, there are a total of nine different missions.
