    I haven't played a game this good in a very long time. The landscapes are HUGE, the action is fantastic and the CARS are unbelievable, Can't remember the last time an RPG kept me playing for hours on end.

    Amazing game. One of the best Ive ever played. Developers nailed everything: visuals, atmosphere, sounds, gameplay. I had alot of fun riding on my car exploring wasteland, upgrading my gear, getting to know crazy inhabitants, beating the crap out of thugs. Even after dozens of hours I dont get tired of this. Well deserved 10.

    I bought MGS V and Mad Max last night, I figured I would try Mad Max for an hour before i would start Metal Gear. I still have not played metal gear a day later. This mad max game besides being beautufl graphically is so much fun, there is so much stuff to do in the game. My one little grip is that you cannot collect scrap metal by driving over it

    Mad Max is one of the most enjoyable open games I ever played. The world of Mad Max is just highly fascinating and exciting to explore. The graphics is superb and runs on maxed out settings more than fluid. There hasn't been any placed where I experienced stuttering or loading related delays. The car combat is just awesome and never gets boring. The fighting mechanics are very solid too.Mad Max is one of the most enjoyable open games I ever played.

    Being waiting for this game for the last few months. A true homage to Mad Max saga from the 80s and games like Fallout and Wasteland. A true depiction of a desolated post-apocalyptic word, raw violence and clash for survival makes this game the perfect choice for relaxing and anjoying being transported to a world were fuel pumped monsters clash in an endless rage.

    I almost feel obligated to make this review seeing the low scores that this game is getting for no apparent reason, so here we go.

    I'm not gonna dwell on the story cause it's just there to be there and to give you a purpose. Nothing special to it

    The gameplay is where this game shines, you have a car with a massive list of parts that you can upgrade you have three main aspects to it: Speed, handling and strength. You can either have a car that is good at all of them or a car that is great at two and weak at the other. the customization is also complex and fun, it's not just you trying to max out every category, you also have to keep in mind the down side to every upgrade.

    Upgrading Max himself is also just as fun. Learning new combat moves never felt like I'm wasting scrap (the currency in the game). Each move felt unique and useful from reversals to wall slamming to limb breaking. The game is also VERY violent and gory which makes it even better for me. You'll face different types of enemies that will require you to use most of you moves along the game.

    The open worlds of this game is one of the best I've ever seen in any video game. All the roads connect to each other and it's extremely nonrestrictive which is a huge plus. Each area has a big balloon where you can spot landmarks and "Threats" that you need to lower in order to unlock new upgrades for you and your car

    The graphics in this are superb, especially when it comes to lights, shadows, tire and footstep trails. The game looks pretty colorful and well done. Can't ask for much more than this

    The sound isn't up to the game's standard. I often found myself not being able to precisely pinpoint where the sound is coming from, but overall it's serviceable.

    For the most part this game is bug free, though I did find myself getting stuck on minute objects but there isn't a persistent bug worth mentioning.

    Overall this game is one of the best games I have played this year and it baffles me that it's getting these low scores. I definitely recommend you purchase this game at full price, you won't be disappointed.    … Expand

    - Great fighthing mechanic (u feel like smashing, punching, kicking asses)
    So far the only con i managed to find was car physics, it could be better, but all in all it doesn't spoil the fun and the atmosphere.

    To my mind the game is underestimated. Despite the fact i bought MGS V:PP i won't even touch it before i finish Mad Max.

I have heard a lot of complaints about this game usually from people who have not played it orFor a game that has had fairly negative reviews by "professional game reviewers" I sure am having a lot of fun. The game starts out a little slow, but if you're a fan of vehicle to vehicle combat and customizing cars to be anything from a racer to a small tank you need to check this game out. I have heard a lot of complaints about this game usually from people who have not played it or people that are blind because this game is great.

    Pros:
    -Great car combat and the ability to customize your car. Eg. Harpooning an enemy inside of his vehicle and pulling him through the windshield.
    -RPG elements that let Max himself become a better ♥♥♥ kicker
    -The hand to hand combat system is not incredibly deep but it can be challenging at times and watching Mad Max pummel some one against a wall or cut them up with a well timed shiv is a lot more satisfying then any fighting game I've played...not a fan of Down,A,X,B,A,Y,X,Left,A to make your fighter spin and shoot a fire ball? Me neither.
    -The story starts a little slow after the opening cinematic but it picks up and turns into a pretty epic story. Complete with a dream sequence with a talking dog head on a human body...
    -I have a GTX660ti and I have all graphics options maxed out. No lag, No hitching, No Freezing.
    -I have seen very few if any bugs so far.

    Cons
    -There is some repetitiveness and some grinding involved with the game but I feel the rewards and story are a pretty good pay off.
    -The physics can get a bit wonky at times. Eg. I got hit by a car once and instead of getting knocked away I got shot straight up in the air spinning like I was caught in a tornado. Another time the same thing happened to my car when I hit a large rock that an enemy shoved me into.
    -Darn Aussies their steering wheel is on the wrong side...

    I am sure I have some other minor issues with the game but I have been having so much fun I can't remember what they were...all in all this is an excellent game that well polished and a lot of fun. If you like vehicle combat and at all are interested in Mad Max or post apocalyptic settings then this game is for you.

    Easily one of the best open worlds I've experienced, just the right amount of filler, solid if basic story, superb graphics (those sky boxes) and excellent sound. Takes the Arkham combat system and refines it into a meaty heavier more visceral experience that obeys the laws of gravity far better then other implementations.

    Best game I've played! Much fun in the wasteland! TPS is more fun than FPS. I like North of Fist that is like mad max. I bought madmax, god of war and cod. Finally, mad max is much much better than the other 2 games.

The game has a lot of similar objectives to do, like a Ubisoft game, and it's incredibly fun to do them all, because you get important rewards to upgrade Max and your car and also the gameplay loop is really fun.

    And one of the most important things for me, and why I love this game is that it never gets boring the more you play it, it actually gets more fun when you upgrade all of your stuff.

    So, my feelings on this game are so mixed. I want to give it a 10, but I also want to give it an 8. So I gave it a 9. It's best summarized this way: it's just SO MUCH FUN usually. Like Fallout, the Environment is the true star (at least so far, I'm 40 hours in) and the gameplay is just ok, but feels super fun. It just IS Mad Max.

It's best summarized this way: it's just SO MUCH FUN usually. Like Fallout, the Environment is the true star (at least so far, I'm 40 hours in) and the gameplay is just ok, but feels super fun. It just IS Mad Max.

    Good:

    Accomplishments: I love the screens when you dismantle enemy camps and do other objectives; I LOVE when a designer adds that extra zing to acknowledge what you have done.

    Atmosphere 10. Bonus: NAILS Mad Max.

    Fighting: 8. Fights are visceral and more nuanced that critics give it, but not that hard usually and a bit simpler than batman. Car battles are very exciting, again directly out of the movie.

    Fun Factor: Generally 10. It plays better than it is really is. If that makes sense. The game is really a solid 7 or 8 but "feels" like a 10 a lot of the time.

    Graphics: 10. I dk what engine this is, but it's gorgeous photorealistic eye candy on par with Frostbite and Lithtech.

    Level Design: 8. Each place feels very different even though there are obvious similarities. I never felt like they just carbon copied each location. Some of them really stunned me even after hours and hours of play. If after you dispatch the baddies you just love taking in the sights from a rusty walkway towering above the mountains overlooking a forlorn desert at nightfall, or the eerie survival horror of going down a ladder into a dark dungeon, it's good stuff. Never gets boring. Except for one criticism: it's great there are certain things that need to be crowbarred or stomped or exploded open, but there's rarely any mystery or strategy to it.

    Speech: Again, beautiful finished touches. Chumbucket never seems to run out of new things to say. Don't get me wrong. He repeats himself a lot. But just when I thought I heard it all, he says something new. Samething with the strongholds and Griffa. Haven't run out of new compliments or insults or insights. Amazing. I LOVE the developers put that level of care into it.

    ***

    Ok now the bad:

    Car: Some people claim the upgraded magnum opus is amazing. I've got 40 hours into the game and even the crappiest buggy can still outrun me no problem with fairly upgraded v6 stuff, when I'm driving perfectly on asphalt. Something's off here, but maybe I just need to figure it out.

    Confusing mechanics: It took me awhile to get certain concepts like how to listen to the dog barking (it makes diff noises) or watch for clues in the environment that something's there. Same thing with using the harpoon; I could highlight enemy tires but then not doing anything b/c the harpoon wasn't good enough but no warning.

    Constant Enemies: I don't understand how some people said there are no enemies to fight. Every 2 seconds, I'm just trying to explore or take care of an objective, I get overrun but highly armored annoying baddies. Don't get me wrong. Sometimes the random encounters are fun, but not every 2 minutes. By mid game it's just super annoying IMHO.

    Gameplay: Ok, critics bash the game for its rinse repeat nature. I liked it. Because relics tell the story of the Fall and other events, it made scavenging worthwhile. I mean, it's basically Fallout in MM. That said, there are few things that could use improvement: (1) a penalty for dying? other than pride? (2) once you build strongholds, scrap and ammo accumulates to the point there's no point scavenging anything except for relics; the fact that strongholds give you bonuses is awesome but also ultimately detracts from the horror survival aspect (3) more realism (see below) (4) you can use fast travel to escape certain death; they might want to restrict it (yeah yeah I know, I can always restrict it myself, still...) (5) combat is very good, but not quite all the way there yet.

    Map: UGH! The water markers constantly disappear off it unless you're near. I can't tell you how annoying this is. You need water as a med kit and they hide it from you. Even after you discover it. But not always. It's random.

    OCD: Critics nailed it that sometimes trying to loot each location is an OCD nightmare. Most times its really fun to explore every nook and cranny but sometimes I HAD to go to the internet to find it.

    Realism: Yeah um right. Ok, I get it. You're Mad Max, but you can drive off a cliff and suffer no damage. You can also get run over a car a few times. Head on. I mean, if they animated you dodging aside at the last minute or something maybe.

    Storms: The big storm was a great idea that in truth is a terrible idea. You get like 10 seconds warning, and then it's often impossible to find cover in time. Your car is safe but it's not. You can't heal in your car. And then enemies, immune to the storm themselves, often find and attack you in the middle of it. (silver lining) I found you can fast travel at will and avoid it.

    Most of the critic scores are BS. The open world of Mad Max is one of the most atmospheric and enjoyable to date.

    I was able to pre-order the PC version of Mad Max for 27 dollars due to some deals that were going on. Normally being able to get that price on a game before its even released would have thrown up red flags for me, but there were hours of gameplay footage to look at, and I love the universe, so I decided I'd take the deal and I haven't regretted it one bit.

    I'll start by saying that    I was able to pre-order the PC version of Mad Max for 27 dollars due to some deals that were going on. Normally being able to get that price on a game before its even released would have thrown up red flags for me, but there were hours of gameplay footage to look at, and I love the universe, so I decided I'd take the deal and I haven't regretted it one bit.

    I'll start by saying that many mainstream game reviewers have just completely gotten this game wrong, and honestly, I think that most of the reviewers barely even played the game, and instead were still pissed from the horrendous PC release of Batman Arkham Night that WB put out and used their mad max reviews as a way to grind their axe. This game is a solid 85% in my book, and may even make it up to 90% depending on how it plays out (I'm only about 15 hours in).

    There are a few annoying things like not being able to skip certain interaction sequences, and sometimes the game play can be a bit repetitive, but overall, I think this is a fantastic game that does exactly what it sets out to do; Let you play as Mad Max driving a badass car through the wasteland.

    I found the hand to hand combat to be quite satisfying, and every time it starts to get a little stale, I'll unlock some new combat abilities that breath fresh life into it. I also think that the vehicle combat is entertaining as well, although it would be nice if they had polecats and motorcycles, but hey, they could add it with some DLC. I love the customization that's available for your vehicle, and between the variety of different chassis and archetypes/upgrade paths to choose from, I actually see a lot more replay-ability from this game than I initially thought there would be.

    Plus, the cars have a great feel to them, and if for some reason you don't quite like the way things handle, then you can tweak pretty much any aspect of your car to suit it more towards your liking.

    The audio in the game is top notch, and I've actually come to like Chumbucket after a while. He'll occasionally utter some fairly funny lines when he's left alone.

    The graphics in this game are also top notch. I'm not sure exactly what they did under the hood with the game engine, but this game runs beautifully on max settings at 60-100fps even on my GTX670, which is a solid mid-range card.

    If it weren't for the impending fallout 4 release, I think that this game could actually put up a decent fight for single player GOTY. With the average amount of time to complete the game at 50-60 hours, this is probably one of the largest and longest games you'll be able to play that's based of a major motion picture. Even at full retail price of 60 dollars, I'd still say this game was worth it, but for a 27 dollar pre-order this game was the best purchase I've made all year.    … Expand

    The attention to detail in the graphics and animations are nothing short of superb, with some real jaw dropping moments, which I dreamed, as a child, I could play in a video game one day.

    The narrative and story are both well paced and fitting to the characters, and are both refreshingly simple in design. The dialogue is only sometimes spoiled by the awful voice acting of the main character - but others are so well voiced and acted, that they could be recordings from unmade movies.

    The game play itself is largely what you make it. It does have some annoying DA: Inquisition-type task orientated side-quests, but then compliments that with a freely open world fun, where you can do what you want. Sure, the options are limited, but what do you expect in a post-apocalyptic wasteland? The constant focus on collecting scrap grates a little, but no more than in a Borderlands-find-the-cash-type way.

    I have thoroughly enjoyed playing Mad Max, and strangely, look forward to parting with my cash on future DLCs and sequels. It is a real pleasure to play, and that is what recent games of this caliber have been missing.    … Expand

    Truth be told, I never would have bought it save that it was on sale on steam. For the first hour or two, I was seriously considering returning the game before my Steam trial period was up. The fighting felt overly simplistic, and at the same time, the timing of the fighting was annoying.

    It still roughly amounts to little more than block, slam slam, block slam, dodge slam slam slam.

    But it's those SLAMS that really satisfy.

    You see, Max doesn't just flail around, dealing damage to whatever polygon is in the way of his attack. Instead, those fists are guided, almost every attack in the game is programmed to look REAL. When you block, you don't stand their with your arms crossed in a half crouch like so many other games, No... you literally intercept the opponents attack, and only if you really mess up the timing does your block turn into the old school braced arms.

    In other words, you intercept punches, kicks, even body slams and either reverse them, or otherwise counter them in really brutal ways.

    The visceral nature of the brawling is hard to find below that simplistic surface, but once you find it... you will REVEL in it.

    I went from being disappointed that I can't equip weapons long term, use knives, guns etc. To being glad the game is a knock down drag out fury fueled slug fest. The brutality of the fighting, combined with the "survival" nature of health regen etc, means no fight is really trivial. Any enemy in the game can still ruin your day if you are not on top of your game.

    To be fair, once you get a grasp of the mechanics and timing, it's actually not super challenging, I do still die on occasion to even low level enemies.

    All this combines to create such a feeling of satisfaction after a fight that I RELISH and basque in the afterglow of a good brawl.

    The exact same brutality and satisfaction applies to the driving and demolition derby game play of the open wasteland.

    The first time I chased down a convoy, It was so much like a scene out of Road Warrior, it was mind bending, I had to pause the game, call my wife over, and we sat on the edge of our seat as I chased down the lead car, battling my way through the escort... when it was all over, I stopped to collect my prize, and my wife was like "Hurry the **** up before more of those bastards come!"

    It was so exhilarating.

    So, I guess I'm one of those people who "get" this game, and I'm sad that it's not doing better, because it makes me doubt ever seeing another one with a bigger budget.

    This game won't appeal to everyone, this game is far more than a combination of it's parts. The whole entity is an organic open world that begs you to explore it, the visuals, the sounds... Even the dust storms.

    If you are a Mad Max fan, don't mind the fact that it's not really part of the timeline, but gets the look and feel and brutality right on point, I would suggest ignoring the negative reviews, and try it. Make sure you REALLY try to look past the surface simplicity of the fighting, look for the deeper joy it allows.

    I am actually enjoying this game as much if not more than Fallout 4... There I said it. Flame away.    … Expand

    Some of the criticisms of Gamespot:
    -You are able to carry large stuff in the inventory
    -Getting hit by a car doesn't instantly kill you (seems like this dude never played a game)
    -The combat is simple (but batman's combat is a masterpiece despite being similar)

I'd say the car combat is way up with the best (which is probably Just Cause 2, from the same developer). In some ways it is a bit simplistic compared to other recent open-worlders, but I don't mind that - Batman and many others end up with a map festooned with hundreds of icons for make-work tasks that I will simply never complete. This one has enough to do without being over cluttered. It looks great with, about as much variety in the environment as a blasted desert wasteland allows, and there are some lovely little animation details. The combat is a more brutal version of Batman and SoM, but Max is a brawler, not a ninja, so no backflips or batarangs, just fists, shiv and shotgun, I'm finding it quite satisfactory. There is a bit of repetition, but that's part of the open-world game design - the issue is whether the the activities you do are fun. I probably haven't made as much progress on the story missions as I should because i just get engrossed blasting around, ripping the wheels off enemy cars with the harpoon. Did I mention it runs smooth as butter even on my ratty old PC? Well it does, and looks great doing it.

He is a deformed maniacal religious zealot, and his only allegiance to you is your car. If he was someone just as sane as Max is (if you'd call him that), it'd feel out of place.

    Max's main goal is entirely selfish and your objectives are exactly what one would do in a post-apocalyptic world: scratching ones back as they scratch yours.

    Car combat is as excellent and enjoyable as one would think car combat should be. I wouldn't be surprised if Warner Bros. Interactive made a Twisted Metal variant using this same engine.

    Overall gameplay is enjoyable, but gets a bit tiring after a couple hours. This may sound like a complaint, but it's actually not a bad thing. It makes it so you don't binge and play for eight hours straight.

The world has been constructed in an exquisite way- all these light reflections, weather changes, driving physics, fight mode, enemies and the incredible undergrounds. We can also find stuff like postcards and info from the past. I’ll be honest- it was really nice to read these old notes and listen to short, but to the point comments from Max.

    Is it a bad game? Absolutely not. On the contrary, Ubisoft's open-world template is perfect for churning out market-friendly games that tick all the boxes of "What People Want." Or, perhaps, "What You Want."...And honestly, Mad Max's formula is still to some extent "What I Want." Just not as much as a few years ago.

    Mad Max is this year’s equivalent of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor – a really decent open world game that will not disappoint the fans of the franchise and will win over some undecided gamers, but will not be inducted into the industry’s hall of fame alongside Skyrim, GTA, Black Flag or The Witcher 3.

    Mad Max is a missed opportunity. The exceptional depiction of the Wasteland, the chaotic nature of the post-apocalyptic society, the excellent technical qualities and thrilling vehicle fights are held back by the mundane melee combat mechanics, the loose story, the repetitive nature of secondary objectives and the overall low-level challenge.
