I got this game mostly because it was from Bethesda and I guess I was expecting something similar to other games they made, namely Elder Scrolls 4 and 5 and Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas. Unfortunately Rage does not have a big open world to explore and do whatever you want. It does not give you abilities that you can strengthen through experience. It seems there is always a path to go wherever you need to go and not much else except to advance the story line. There is racing involved to upgrade your vehicle and I did enjoy that. Overall I did enjoy the game. It is decent enough on it's own. I just had some preconceived expectations that were not met.
