I'm gonna go ahead and be optimistic and go for a 5/5
Just created a thread for the first 20 minutes if your interested to get a better taste for it.
Rage
Game » consists of 18 releases. Released Oct 04, 2011
id Software's Rage combines first-person shooting, vehicular action, and "open but directed" exploration to tell the story of Earth's wretched civilization after a cataclysmic meteor strike. Militaristic authority figures, freedom-fighting rebels, criminal raiders, and twisted mutants battle each other for control of the barren wasteland Earth has become.
Let's play "Guess that Score!!!"
I think it's going to lose the point at the story. it's just fallout and I don't mean it's kinda like fall out, dude comes out a damn vault.Four out of five seems the most likely. As long as the shooting and gunplay is solid and the story beats stay high and interesting, it should be a good one.

Yeah, I'm not holding out great hope for Rage's storyline, but let's be fair, id has never relied heavily on story in the past. Gunplay looks really good but I personally put a lot of weight on story so I'll probably give it a pass. Still, I'd say a 4 or 5/5 seems likely.
Depends on who's reviewing it. If it's Brad probably 5/5 as I think he rates stuff higher, but defiantly nothing lower then a 4 from anybody else.
Id has always developed relatively straightforward plotlines, but what makes their games worth it is always an abundance of rich, periphery information about the world that really fleshes everything out. Combined with amazing set design, Id makes the world feel real.@kingzetta said:

It might also not be as broken as the recent Fallout games.
I've been expecting Rage to be the same thing, light on story but awesome on shooting, but I've learned that that's not what I want anymore out of a videogame. But that fact does not change my incredibly high opinion of id Software as a developer, or the products they make as high-quality games.

@Sackmanjones: what do you say? am I wrong? tell me why if I am wrong. gear of wars 3 is overrated. plus, not everybody likes GOW game. do you understand me? I guess you probably drunk.
He's probably referring to your broken english. Console is the suck? You not be right about any game! That is the story and how the crumbles of the cookie did fall!

90/100. no game is perfect. but Rage is very close. by the way, I don't know about gear of wars 3. it seems to overrate. it can't just get many perfect score. unreal. what am I care? I don't have xbox 360 and don't even have a plan to buy because I hate console.
what am I care?
Because Brad seems to be the one reviewing the game (by looking at his achievements) I'd say he's probably going to give it 5 stars. Like myself he seems to really dig open world games.
3/5. I see it being a fairly mundane game that's clearly meant as a tech demo to sell the engine, rather than something with actual substance.
Hope I'm wrong, of course.
I think the game is good for at least 4/5, but I think it will probably get 5/5. Alex seemed very pleased in his article about a month back, and I think a lot of the reviewers will be pleased with the game as well.
As for other sites, I think the game is probably going to end up getting around 88. Maybe some 90s and stuff, but I think most sites will give scores in the high 80s.
5 star games usually gets talked about a lot before they actually ship on the bombcast etc, they have pretty much never mentioned rage at any point so they obviously dont really care so 4/5 for me.

Yeah, because id has a perfect record for having non-broken games..... jeeeeeeeeez.
I think that's how you meant to be a smartass.
I'm thinking that personally, this'll be a 5/5 but for the site's official review I'm gonna scale it back to a 4
What i have been saying all along.@Jimi said:
3/5 or 4/5
This graphics look great but gameplay looks generic.
