    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

    The atmosphere is all here. If it's a narrative worthy of a best selling piece of literature you're after, then please look elsewhere (try books). Can never understand all this BS over the value on stories in games. HINT: Its crap, all the time. Mad Max does it right with so many things- played with 360 pad as it should, car mechanics are fine, combat is simple but fun to look at,The atmosphere is all here.

The power fantasy of upgrading your Max feels good, as does upgrading your car. But I feel it can end a bit too early. Other then that great. 10/10… Expand

    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.

    This game is awesome. It has a lot in common with the Far Cry series so if you like those you will like this one too. I played it for 70 hours and loved every minute of it. One of the best games I have played in years.

    Put off buying this because of the average reviews. They're all wrong. It is Just Cause Mad Max edition. Developed by the team behind Just Cause. Its a literal sand box. I've always avoided car combat games because i find them so boring. This game was a breath of fresh air. Be sure to double tap Up D-Pad for first person view when fighting cars. Its immersive and rewarding.

    This is one of the best open world games I have played and very true to its origin in the Mad Max universe. It may become a bit repetitive but I simply loved playing the game and unfolding the story. A clear recommendation to play!

    I expected Mad Max to be decent, but not this good. It's basically Assassin's Creed, but with improved game mechanics, better graphics and in the desert. Really good job and an excellent PC port, too.

    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 not stopped playing it since I got it ! 15 hours in now and wow what a bloody amazing game.
    The world is Epic and it fits right in with the mad max world.
    The explosions are awesome , you even have sandstorms that you can see approaching in the distance.
    Ok the story might not be amazing but the GAME play & Fighting is EPIC. Best game for me this year hands down , its so much fun.

    One of the best sandbox game. All gfx max on my r9 290, take your car and drive and play all missions you can find to upgrade a max before doing the main story.
    This cool game reminds me bordelands + rage. As soon as i got at least 10 mn freetime, i play it.
    I'm totally happy to have choose mad max instead of MGS.

    "Но, а как же игра?", подумал я. "Неужели она тоже получится столь удачной?

    Это можно было проверить, только самому поиграв в неё.
    С первых минут меня не покидало предчувствие, что "Вот-вот будет нечто, по истине грандиозное"(как в хорошем смысле, так и в плохом).
    К моему великому счастью, ожидания превзошли сами себя.

    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.
