    Es un juego muy disfrutable. Me gustó en el apartado jugable y los escenarios visiten mucho la acción en el carro. Lo malo del juego es que tiene una historia muy floja. Ojalá saquen segunda parte y mejoren los modelados de los personajes. En fin, lo recomiendo.

    Мне так же понравилась пешая боевая система и вообще пеший геймплей.
    В чем же тогда причина такого затянутого прохождения, а причина вот в чем.
    В ПОКАТУШКАХ НА МАШИНКАХ!!!
    Эти покатушки меня всегда бесят в играх, но здесь это типа фишка всей серии, куда же без неё. Но как же эта фишка ужасно материализована в этой игре.
    В начале игры не дают даже порулить полностью идеальной, прокачанной машиной, чтобы оценить к чему надо стремиться!
    Кстати это часто позволяют в подобных играх.
    Мало того, что управлять не прокаченной машиной ужасно неудобно. Первые три часа вообще бесят, ты вроде вкладываешь средства в автомобиль, а он практически не меняется!
    Короче мне было очень приятно проходить пешую часть игры, но когда дело доходило до покатушек, то после 10 - 15 смертей (это же не Dark Souls, где в этом смысл), от злости, удаляешь игру и забываешь о ней месяца на два.
    Короче, игра для меня заработала как надо в последние 3-4 часа, когда машина, наконец, то прокачалась, ездила более менее прямо и не гибла от одного столкновения.
    В принципе Mad Max мне понравилась, но если будет продолжение, то хотелось бы увидеть переработку гоночного геймплея.    … Expand

    Controls on foot are very good. Nice fighting controls and decent upgrades.
    Driving mechanics are also very good with minor flaws.
    Apparently your car can run out of gas. But it is rather pointless, you never do. And you rarely refill.

    The bad side:
    Repetitive stuff to do outside the main quest. this is common for almost every game just like Ubisoft releases. But at least it is not brain numbing boring. There is loot to pick up around the map, and they did a good job designing each location. There are caves and shacks all around, and they are not repeat location like camps in Assassins Creed. I was pretty surprised that the puniest piece of rubble can hide an entrance to a large underlevel cave. The great desert hides some really cool location when you get there.
    Story is very thin to be honest. You lose your car and go on a hellbent revenge trip to get it back, except you won´t get it back and you have to rebuild the car. Somewhere in there you really lose the perception if there really is a story. What are we chasing again? Oh yeah a Big block V8 engine.

    Despite some minor twists and irks this game runs surprisingly well. Some framerate drops on Ps4 Pro. but other than that there is little bugs to be seen.

    Mad Max is a good game to kill some time.    … Expand

As Max your primary goal is to build and modify the Magnum Opus - your new set of wheels, after your famous interceptor (Black-on-Black) is taken away from you in the beginning. After getting over the initial hurdle at the beginning of the abysmal car handling, and Max being easily killed you start to settle into the open-world rhythm. You'll be scouring the wasteland for scrap to improve the Magnum Opus and Max's abilities. After about 3-4 hours you'll start to feel like the formidable force Max is in the films. Car customisation is a good driving force, and the hand-to-hand combat whilst not all that deep can be very entertaining. Unfortunately every facet of the game is serviceable without being stand-out. Car handling and combat can often be frustrating to control, even in the late game. The parry timing is just off in hand-to-hand combat to the point you just start to ignore the on-screen timing hints because they are plain wrong. The wasteland environment has some stand-out locations - old ships, oil rigs, canyons (and some cool surprise locations) etc - but eventually it just becomes dull driving through different types of sand. Mad Max will give you plenty to do in its 60+ hours game time if you want to get every collectable and piece of scrap, but ultimately most people will get so far in then just stick to the story missions to get it over with.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Mad Max starts off with a solid and fun beginning, but as the game goes on, it starts to get repetitive. The upgrades you need to do on your car so you can proceed on the main story are mainly based on eliminating a gang influence on the region and getting the upgrades from the enemies cars. Although the game can be boring in multiple moments, its still a great game for fans of the movies, and also, the graphics are lovely, also the map is nicely done and offers a wide open desert to explore.… Expand

    It's one of those games like MGS5,Ubisoft games where there's a huge map but you are basically repeating chores over and over without any effort into creating a story driven narrative. Once you get used to the novelty of the visuals, it's extremely dull

    Its not a bad game on any terms, but it gets so mindlessly repetitive that I had to stop playing for a while and get back at it weeks later. On its core, its the batman combat style with cool cars, but I feel like the game really doesn’t give you that much to do. Not good, but not bad either, for a movie inspired game, it could have gone waaaay worse

    This game surprised the heck out of me. It was like a wasteland RPG with awesome quests but a GTA style car you drove around F***ing people up in. Really well made, decent size world and solid progression. Didn't like being gated by how strong my car was and lost interest after a while, but perhaps I'll go back to it one day. The fact it was free on PS plus one month is a steal

    The Map might even be too huge. It does get the feeling of a desolate world across, but with little variation of what you will actually do in the world it feels like too much of the same. The combat gets very repetitive, and even the bosses are almost exact copies of each other. The only thing that changes is the actually location and hideout.

    So it's about shooting, fighting, racing and carnage. And there's a story! Not a particularly interesting one, but there is one. Some missions do immerse you, and others feel like ordinary fetch quests.

    Car combat and not much else. Actually, there is a lot more, and all of it the worst of modern game tropes. If this game was just car combat it would be a 10/10. Hasn't anyone played Interstate '76? Am I so old that game developers are too young to be aware of classic games that influenced me?

Am I so old that game developers are too young to be aware of classic games that influenced me?

    Let's get the good stuff out of the way. The car combat is well done. I can't say it is spectacular mostly because it depends on a lot of upgrades that you have to spend hours grinding. So far I'm not interested in that grind and keep picking fights I can barely win. Still, with what I have the combat is fun. In addition to the stand front end collision, you can send enemy cars veering into obstacles. In a fun addition, a grapple hook lets you target parts of the car or the driver. An open world demolition derby would have been a great game and Warner Bros. should have focused on that.

    Now that the good is over, let's get to the bad. This game is every open world base take down trope that has hindered almost every game this generation. Instead of climbing towers to fill in your map, you go up in balloons even though the Mad Max films didn't have balloons every square mile and the idea is stupid. You also get an annoying companion to serve as your tutorial help, narrator, mission giver. This game would be so much better if it embraced the notion of Mad Max as a loner. Then there are the cookie-cutter bases that have infected open world games. I get it, development is costly. Instead of hand making areas for players to visit, it's easier to make a library of assets that the designer can then cut and paste into the game world. All of it is boring and immersion killing. On top of all that, Mad Max has the Batman style fighting copied and pasted from Warner Bros.'s Arkham games. You never get a good Mad Max feeling of fighting. Oddly, the game has no stealth options when sneaking around enemy positions is something Mad Max does well in the films. Even the excellent car combat is inhibited by thedumb A.I. In one car fight, I kept going in for a few hits and driving out of their A.I.'s patrol zone.

    Maybe this kind of generic open world game was less generic in 2015. I don't think so. I remember playing Far Cry 4 and feeling the same way about it as I do about Mad Max and Far Cry 4 was a much better game in general. The problem is that Warner Bros. took safe bets with Mad Max. Safe bets are what you make when you don't want to lose. When you want to win, you take risks.

    Full Disclosure: Mad Max was a PS+ "free" game so I felt no obligation to "get my money's worth".    … Expand

    Si algo hay que reconocerle a Avalanche Studios es su brutal capacidad para haber creado un desierto que se sienta desierto pero no sea aburrido, así como una ambientación apocalíptica increíble.

    Mad Max está cargado de contenido especialmente secundario, y cuando digo cargado digo hasta los topes. Tanto que puede llegar a convertirse en algo repetitivo hasta para el mayor fan del farmeo de objetivos secundarios (Más de 200 puntos de saqueo, decenas de reliquias, campamentos, atalayas, estructuras que derribar, campos de minas, convoyes...). Por otro lado su campaña es más modesta en cuanto a duración y extensión, por lo que no se hace pesada ni repetitiva en ningún momento. Aunque tampoco brilla en ningún punto.

    El combate se divide en el cuerpo a cuerpo o melee y el combate de coches. El primero toma las mecánicas fielmente marcadas por la saga Batman Arkham y las reproduce de manera bastante satisfactoria aunque sin una profundidad que si se echa en falta. Por otro lado, en el segundo caso, el combate a motor es ágil y dinámico y cumple en todos sus aspectos, pero que le falta una pequeña chispa que le pueda llegar a hacer brillar todo lo que debería.

    Mad Max es un juego muy sólido que recuerdo en su día recibió duros golpes por la crítica profesional y no puedo entender por qué. Avalanche no destaca en nada con su obra, pero lo que hace lo hace bien y tampoco tiene delirios de grandeza en ningún momento. Aprovecharon para cubrir en el sector el lanzamiento de Fury Road y les salió un producto bueno.

    the controls are another pain in the ass. i guess you can change some keys there, but i didnt even try, cus i like to play in whatever settings the game gives me, but it was another fight i had to endure.

    i finished the game frustrated, hoping to free my hard drive from that ****ty game, but actually i left it there for a little longer, just so i can go around the maps for a while, without any pressure. (thank god for the fast travel buttom, so i dont even need to ice skate in the sand that much
    oh, almost forgot, the story is kinda cool, even tho they created the most hateful dumb pre-adolescent Max of all times. you'll hate him for every choice he makes, and you just have to go along hating him (yourself)

    while playing i was thinking about giving it a 5 stars grade, or even lower, but giving the good parts as scenarios, and diversity of cars, and the beaty of it, etc, AND, the most important part: PSN just gave me the game for free, i'm ok ith 6    … Expand

    Mad Max used its imagery well, and as a sandbox game, it's thematically pretty coherent. I actually liked this more than GTA V: driving around is more exiting, and Batman-style fist fighting is more fun than Gears of GTA -cover shootouts. [Oct 2015]

    A functional open world game, Mad Max captures none of what makes its source material great. Missions are uninteresting, the world is dead and there are next to no damn car chases. [Issue#262, p.64]
