The Rage

About

The Rage is a 3D beat 'em up that lets you punch through hordes of foes in side-scrolling carnage. Released in 2001, it leans into straightforward brawling with simple but satisfying combos. Play solo or team up with three others locally or online, trading jabs and kicks in arenas packed with enemies. The controls stay easy even during chaotic pileups, and the visuals for the time held decent flair. Multiplayer remains a highlight, supporting LAN and internet matches for competitive scraps. While not a household name, it carved a niche with arcade-style thrills and catchy soundtrack. Some retro beat 'em up fans still praise its punchy action, though modern reviews are sparse. At its peak, The Rage offered a messy but fun alternative to 2D brawlers without overcomplicating the formula.
