I just can't get into video game books. I've tried. With the Diablo books, that Guild War book, and even a Halo book. They just don't do it for me. It might be because it's written for the 9 year old illiterate who screams on XBL.
It's either the overuse of the thesaurus or endlessly describing a space ship, to bring up the word count.
John was a post-apocolyptic wanderer for fourteen years. When he was young he watched the disasters and he said to dad "I want to be dying of malnutrition daddy."
Dad said "No! You will BE KILL BY MUTANTS"
There was a time when he believed him. Then as he got oldered he stopped. But now in the mutant base of the Megatex Corp he knew there were demons. "This is Joson" the radio crackered. "You must fight the mutants!"
So John gotted his palsma rifle and blew up the wall.
"HE GOING TO KILL US" said the mutants
"I will shoot at him" said the supermutant(lol) and he fired the rocket missiles. John plasmaed at him and tried to blew him up. But then the ceiling fell and they were trapped and not able to kill.
"No! I must kill the mutants" he shouted
The radio said "No, John. You are the mutants"
And then John was a mutant.
Rage 'sounds' like an honest effort to do some different things and a nice helping of more of that same. Could a book expand on the narrative of the game? Very much so. Could it over shadow the narrative of the game? Quit possibly. Is this book going to over compensate for the lack of story in the game? Not from how it sounds so far.
The premise looks like, the world has ended (oh dear) and the main character 'appears' to be the only survivor who after wake up in some kind of preservation capsule comes to and ... finds epic weaponry and blows shit up and then gets into a race car and fucks up what's left of the world, somehow, gasoline, bullets, where? And then political intrigue and *the rest of this is child-like gun and explosion sounds*
