    Interstate '76 meets Fallout 2.

    If you have played Just Cause 2 you might notice the gameplay similarities in both mechanics and amounts of fun you get out of the game.

    Burn the haters in blessed fire of gasoline and in the holy fumes of my V8!

    its fun if you enjoy open world games, but I did not fine an added element in this game which sets it apart, the car was not that great.    … Expand

The combat fighting is amazing and the road wars are as well, there is tons of explotions and action which gives this game the real Mad Max touch.
    The costumization of Max and his car is great and I like the fact that you have to drive out in the open world to find loot to build your car ect.

    Big thumbs up from here! :)    … Expand

    Take all the cool things about Just Cause, water them down, add a bunch of continuity errors and characters you don't care about and call it Mad Max and that's this game. I beat it in six days, got it via Gamefly just to try it and it was barely worth the slot in my queue.

    I really, truly enjoyed this game. The early hours are a bit of a slog while you level up your max and the opus (Car). After getting used to the vehicle controls and the on-foot combat controls, exploring the devastated world of Mad Max becomes a joy.

    Car combat has never been done better and every car you see you can drive. Explosions make the payoff of destroying your enemy oh so sweet.

    The on-foot combat, while at first seems sluggish and clumsy becomes a brutal dance once you're used to the controls and level up Max a bit. I found myself attacking outposts just so I could watch the awesome animations of Max clothes-lining some fools.

    I've beaten the main story and am still wandering the wastes in search of that precious scrap. For what this game is going for now (Around $30) you really have no excuse not to try it. And even if you hate it at first, give it an hour or so to settle in. You wont regret it.

    One thing to note on the technical side. During certain driving sections I had some of the worst frame rate drops I've seen on the PS4. So much so that it affected gameplay. Only happened a handful of times, never had a hard crash like I've had on other open world games.    … Expand

Upgrading your vehicle and stats is always good fun, and is achievable through collecting scrap metal and lowering 'threat' in parts of the world. Scrap collecting can be a bit tedious, however there are options to have scrap collected for you automatically via certain upgrades.

    The driving is fun and often resemble the best parts from the Fury Road film. My only complaint, I would say, is that there's no option to make choices in the story - something I have come to enjoy doing when playing games. Max is, understandably, quite selfish through most of the game, though does show a shred of consideration to some of those he meets - although this is usually for personal gain. Just part of his character, I suppose.

    Combat has been done very well, and the need to scavenge for basic materials such as fuel, water and food add an extra element to the game which doesn't go unappreciated. I would recommend Mad Max to anyone who fancies a good, open world, post apocalyptic environment with solid gameplay - yet doesn't care so much for a story or for the Mad Max series as a whole.    … Expand

    "There is something so satisfying driving through the wasteland"- Colin Moriarty. I echo that statement.

    And at essence this game is about the world that Max finds himself in. Its just so fascinating and a experience that needs to be savored. The campaign leaves little to be desired but then again its the dismantling of camps, finding scrap, car combat and just wrecking in combat that make this game a game. A favorite of mine for 2015 as there was little known about it before launch and thus you go into the game to experience it.    … Expand

Combat feels like from Guy Richies movie, u hear bones cracking and punches landing, with some awesome slow motion effects and gory details. Also car chases, those are fast, thrilling, with amazing effects and great use of harpoon, you can strip enemy cars from wheels, bodyparts or drivers themselves. But the problem is, thats all there is, I spend maybe 10 hours in game and then I just gave up, everything just feels the same, the first base you are raiding feels as difficult and rewarding as the one UR raiding 8 hours later, same with the car chases, or convoy challenges, it just feels the same like the first one. The only challenge that the game gave me was finding of scrap parts and insignias in enemy bases, but thats just annoying, you are running around bases over and over trying to find collectibles, feels like a 90s game. And the story doesnt deliver at all and there is nothing to care for. So when I figured out, after 10 hours of gameplay that Im just doing the same things all over again and again, and Im just aproximately 50% done with the game, I just gave up, it didnt felt that the game has anything more to offer other than what I done 150 times over already.… Expand

    Way better than I expected. The way they've recreated the Mad Max world really gives you a feel for what it would be like trying to live in that situation, having scarce supplies and all (usually I hate ammo scarcity but you don't need a whole lot of it in this game).

    The vehicle physics are excellent, which is good because you do a lot of driving.
    Combat is very similar to Batman & Shadow of Mordor, which I like.

    Only downside for me was the assisted targeting for the harpoon, or lack thereof. 9 times out of 10 it would highlight a section of an enemy vehicle that I didn't want to target, and wouldn't allow me to target a wheel for example.

    But overall a very fun game. This is exactly how a Mad Max game should be made.    … Expand

    Combat system is way too simple. Thinka about a ultra minimalist version of Shadows of Mordor fights, and thats what you will get here.

    Car combats are silly, since your enemies just hit their cars against yours, and thats it.

    Story is really, really bad. Actually there is no story at all for most part of the game, since most of the main story quests will be "collect scraps to upgrade your car".

    Graphics are the best part of the game. The wasteland is huge and beautiful to watch, but I just realized I was spending more time taking pictures in the photo mode than actually enjoying the gameplay.

    Despite being beautiful, there is not enough to do in the wasteland. That makes a bad combination with the stupid main quests that won't let you advance unless you upgrade your car. For example, at some point my main quest was to collect 300 scraps. So I went looking for scraps. After I just found an outpost, defeated 10 enemies, all I got was 40 scraps. Guess what, there won't be any scraps sources nearby, then I had to drive gain untill I found more 20 scraps. Repeat. Then I realized I was driving and driving for more than one hour looking for scraps.

    Next mission: I had to find another base that I could use to upgrade my car. When I found that base, then here comes next mission: collect 200 scraps to upgrade your car. Thats Mad Max for you.

    The game is really lazy. Nowadays some developers are just using the "open world" term to sell games, without putting effort in creating a unique experience. I have to admit I'm one of those guys that gets excited when you can freely explore a huge world, but Mad Max is boring and lifeless.

All mechanics are made so that you waste one more second of your time to this piece of junk. It's also buggy, the console can't render the graphics for **** making for cutscenes where the characters have big areas of the same colour instead of details. It's overall unpolished and the commands are confusing, with r2 to run, l2 to jump, O to shoot the gun (of which losing a round is a rather big deal).
    Again, it's painfully built on the idea that it really wants you to spend time doing nothing. To take something from the ground you have to wait a couple of seconds, to talk with a guy you have to wait a couple of seconds for the conversation even to start, to have markers on the map you have to spend five minutes of a montgolfier slowly going to the air, you selecting every single marker you see and it going back down. The combat is pressing the same button for 15 minutes with a rare second button to keep pressed to win any fight ever.

    I guess people really need an excuse to throw their time away doing nothing and they really like it.

    I really don't understand the hate. It's a beautiful and entertaining game in a gloriously wonderful universe.

    Sure, there a repetitive moments like any open world game but at it's core the vehicle sections are phenomenal and the combat is on par with the Batman games.

    The best open world games nowadays are an expansion of the form, but Mad Max is highly regressive in far too many areas to be meaningful.

    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]
