Action game of the year. Hand to hand (and close quarter weapon) combat from The Matrix. Advanced, fun, and freestyle gunplay from Shoot 'Em Up. Customizable, very heavy duty and insane car chases/fights a la Death Race.
Yeah. Probably. Anyways, Rage seems like a good mix of racing and FPS combat. For me, the apocalyptic setting (which seems well done in this case) is a mighty bonus.
Only if it had RPG elements. Give it a leveling system similar to Fallout 3 or Oblivion style (Weapon system=Fallout, running, jumping, driving=Oblivion).
Shep. You have dishonored our family. What would you guys want for the soundtrack? I'd say faster paced rock, some metal, and lots of electronic stuff. Like Crystal Method, Juno Reactor...
For the hand to hand stuff, heavy metal riffs, yeah. For the ranged sequences, just normal rock. Driving bits should totally have trance. Or the whole thing can be Japanese produced and have a sweeping orchestral score.
