Released in the summer of 1998, the visually stunning Incoming was primarily a showcase for what was, at the time, the new trend of using 3D accelerated graphics in computer games. In fact, the original Incoming was a standard pack-in game for new graphics cards for a while. Four years later, graphics in new PC games have advanced significantly, but Rage's sequel to Incoming, Incoming Forces, doesn't really reflect that fact. Still, it's at least incrementally better than its predecessor in virtually every respect, and as an arcade-style time waster, it's fitfully engaging enough to more or less warrant its budget price. If a friend were to ask you to describe the experience, you could probably sum it up best with a shrug and a dismissive, "Eh."
