Well, today I got Rage. Although I am only a small bit into the game (about to start the sponsorship race) I gotta say, it's a bloody brilliant game. Story wise it seems more or less to be that of Fallout 3. Just replace Enclave with "The Authority" and Megaton with Wellspring. Oh, and no grand water purifying project (that I've yet to see).
What it lacks in story it more then makes up for in combat and animations. The enemies are fantastically done, challenging (assuming you put it at hard at the very least) and very smooth. In particular, the ducking, dodging and fast movements of bandits and mutants make for some very fun, sometimes intense battles. I'd say the vehicle combat is a little less entertaining then fighting on foot, but still great nonetheless.
My only real criticism so far is that the audio seems a little out of sync with the speaking animations of the characters ingame. Anyone else noticed that? Or is it just me?

That said, I've only played around 30 minutes of it so far. Unlike a few people at work who thought it was an open world game, I knew what to expect from id software. Corridor shooters. PCGamer hit the nail on the head.
"Despite what the developers might have suggested and we might have assumed, it’s still set in a corridor. Fortunately, id still make some of the finest corridors in the world."
