Rage takes a lot of the worst ideas from other shooters and fails to deliver as a result; actually, maybe it'd be more accurate to say it takes ideas that could be good and have definitely worked in other games, but doesn't put in the effort to refine them further or add something interesting to the mix. With so little of what makes nearly every other id game so fun to play, the final product is a game that's rather unsatisfying and unfocused with what it's trying to do.

Had this been the last game from id Software, it truly would've been a pity, as I definitely believe this was their lowest point. Not a game I really want to return to.
