The Rage is a beat'em up game. Like Final Fight or Streets of Rage, but in 3D; players go through various stages of beating everyone up and demolishing everything. The purpose of The Rage's gameplay is to reproduce the feeling of a cruel brawl in which you can fight using a large series of easy-to-do moves. In fact, the action is very intense (you often get to fight against a lot of enemies at once) but it's simple to manage. About graphics, The Rage uses a powerfull graphic engine that allows it to perfectly run even on not-so-fast systems. [Download: DemoNews]
