    Madness. You can get it for a tenner online on the PC.

    It also now plays out as a series of higly compressed 320x240 Quicktime videos with clickable hotspots every five minutes.

    Campaign Edition - That's a new one.

  • Jay-ITFC #4 3 weeks ago

    I think Dice and EA did the same thing with Battlefield 3 - except that was 'Multiplayer Edition'.

  • midnight_walker #5 3 weeks ago

    If they did this for every game and lopped a tenner off I would only ever buy the 'campaign editions'

  • eightbit #6 3 weeks ago

    @midnight_walker
    You wouldn't be the only one.

  • StooMonster #7 3 weeks ago

    Yes, Mass Effect 3 campaign edition please EA ... for £10 less.

  • MikeRox #8 3 weeks ago

    @midnight_walker me three!

  • -cerberus- #9 3 weeks ago

    Campaign Edition? I want that version for all of my games! Fuck multiplayer.

  • Eraysor #10 3 weeks ago

    I bought Rage at release and not once have I ever even touched the "Multiplayer" button on the menu. Though to be honest the game was so dull I never finished the single player campaign either.

    And I concur with the sentiments above, there are a lot of games I would happily buy without the multiplayer component for less money.

  • v.profane #11 3 weeks ago

    I'd love to see the sales figures for this.

  • chessboxer #12 3 weeks ago

    I got the Anarchy Edition on PS3 for £9.99 in the Game Sale and I really enjoyed the campaign. Looking forward to the sequel.

    Pass. I'd rather install Windows. Snow Leopard > Lion.

    Rage is sooo god damn booooooring, but not as boring as BOREDerlands.

  • Peter_LIAR_Molyneux #15 3 weeks ago

    It makes perfect sense for games with obviously slapped on multiplayer to offer a "Campaign Edition" for cheaper. Which is why publishers will never do it right at launch. The concept is too consumer friendly for their mindset.

    Why offer what some people want when they can raise the price with additional fluff that clearly isn't needed, even if it could sell to people who otherwise would have passed? The publisher mindset is to do the same old thing and when your profits are sagging then go ahead and blame piracy or second hand sales or "casual piracy" (lending games to friends and family) or those detestable people who don't preorder games yet still buy the game new but wait for a price drop. Blame anything and anyone but yourself.

    The big publishers are so scared of trying anything new so why should I feel compelled to support them? I'm sick of paying for multiplayer modes that I will never ever use. Giving me the option for a campaign only edition won't break the publishers bank. It might even prove profitable for them if they dared to try that tactic sometime other than a late port over to a niche platform. In my opinion.

    By campaign edition, they probably mean that Aspyr won't be supporting online servers for the multiplayer to actually work (they did a similar thing with Civ 4 and Civ 5, both of which do have online on Macs when bought on steam).

  • super_monty #17 3 weeks ago

    Wow if it was out at the same time as the other version but Rage feels old now.
    Good its moved to mac though.

  • DannyGunSlinger #18 3 weeks ago

    Worst £40 I spent last year... You can get the 360 version for £12 now. Still too expensive.

  • 32768Colours #19 3 weeks ago

    Its a pity they never released a Rage: Just the Shooting Bits Edition for all formats.

    I thought the driving sections were as dull and tiresome as you can get. The shooting sections were good fun though, and maintain my high hopes for Doom 4 kicking all kinds of ass.

    Actually, on that point id, if you're thinking of putting bloody Moon Buggies (Mars Buggies?) or any other sodding vehicles in Doom 4... DON'T!!!

  • mr2ange #20 3 weeks ago

    its been £16 in tesco for about 2 months...

    Still i guess it stands about right for apple prices...

    Edit - Still it has a great engine, probably geared better for the next gen machines than this gen, but make the actual game worthy of such an exotic complex engine this time.

    Hate these Aspyr ports. They only turn up in the App Store, meaning it'll never see the light of day on Steam, which also means it'll be significantly more expensive and lacking achievements, cloud-save etc.

    Really annoys me that there are games in the Mac App store that are ports of games available better and cheaper on Steam. It's a racket to gouge more money off Mac customers.

  • DurzoBlint #22 3 weeks ago

    No ironsights on Mac.

  • TheGuvernor #23 3 weeks ago

    I loved RAGE - put hrs into it - classic id with a modern twist.
    And the tech is truly amazing, on Nvidia anyway.


    By the way, multiplayer was slick & a lot of fun: coop & racing.
    Still, RAGE screamed for DM.

  • kar #24 3 weeks ago

    I saw a copy of Rage in HMV, new (pre-owned was more expensive), for £7.99 last week.

  • dennett316 #25 3 weeks ago

    Well it fits in with the Apple strategy of charging a premium for less than is available elsewhere cheaper.
    £27.99 for just the campaign is robbery...do people somehow think this is a good price?
