    Qué gran juego en todos los sentidos, lastrado por la excesiva duración que tiene y que se puede hacer algo repetitivo. Dicho esto, todo el mundo ha de probarlo, todo.

    I recommend. This game has a lot of mechanics which make it just great. It is pure fun to play. Only thing I do not really like is the story. But after playing The Witcher games... what game has got a good story? xD anyway I truly recommend

    The game is based on the title movie Mad Max in the game we play as Max, who, after losing his legendary car V8 Interceptor, sets off on a journey through the vast, post apo Wasteland.

    Very surprised how addictive this game is. When I first started I thought I would be annoyed with the controls and basic npc interactions. Hours later I was still loving all the tasks and plenty of things to do. Obvious problems are there but the overall experience is very good and you will get addicted to this game!

    Fun game with enjoyable combat, graphics, and overall gameplay. Get's a bit repetitive and there is not enough of a story to keep me really hooked (just like the movies). I really enjoy playing for about an hour at a time here and there and I do recommend the game, especially for those who like open-world collect-athons.

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    Very low note from the press, the game is good, it complies with the world to which it belongs, it's bizarre and you even have car racing... it's worth it

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game was a bit of a mixed bag that came out on the positive side in the end. It did some things really well. The atmosphere was fantastic, really captured the feel of the motorized wasteland you find in Mad Max and it was impressively large to boot so you could buzz around at some fun speeds. The hand-to-hand combat was loads of fun as well and you felt probably more competent than Max was supposed to be. First time you suplex some poor dumb bastard is cackle inducing satisfaction. The third leg of the stool of enjoyment were some little touches I found charming like the warcriers (when you left them alive) and the admirable variety they managed to put into the scavenging locations and camps.

    Despite being an overall enjoyable experience, the game did have some glaring issues to my eye. Starting at the top, the story never made much sense to me. I understood what was happening through it but it was the motivation that never quite rang my bell. I'm punching my way through dozens of goons and smashing my way through lots of vehicles so I can acquire a bigger engine that I need for what? After the Jaw I could have just driven off to these Plains of Silence. Felt a little silly. The upgrade systems need some SERIOUS overhauling. I maxed out Max within the first third of the game and I bought upgrades for the Magnum Opus that were superior to ones I had to unlock through later quests rendering those pointless beyond the experience. The loot itself was really poorly done as well. What I hoped to have was finding new guns (or upgrades at least) and items and parts for my car but all you find is scrap which you use like a money system to upgrade said items. The scrap wasn't bad I guess but it certainly wasn't exciting. No "what am I going to find in THIS chest" sort of excitement. There were also a slew of smaller disappointments like the same graphic used on all the top dogs or the lack of need for food or water, but I'm gonna jump to my biggest complaint. The car combat in the later parts of this game was torturous to me. At first it was satisfying and fun and visceral in it's effect, but by the end of the game with my car as upgraded as it could be everything I encountered had so much armor that I didn't feel like I was doing any damage. I wanted to feel in the Magnum Opus like I felt as Max but instead I was Robin rather than Batman. It's not that I don't enjoy a good challenge, I love me some Dark Souls, but when you find yourself trying to deal with multiple opponents that feel superior to you with every random encounter it begins to suck the fun out of it. I ended up just trying to run from every fight and even that was frustrating. Who knows though, I might just suck at it Either way it left me woefully disappointed.    … Expand

    Now the flaw the, fatal, fatal flaw...the fighting sucks (really bad). I like the batman series and this fighting is very similar with one huge difference you basically press two buttons the whole time. One punches one parries...its fun pummeling dudes but, oh so repetitive. With batman, while it took timing, you had options with different attacks...with this you again just use two buttons. The worst is in pressing those buttons and timing things perfectly they will put you into animation that you can't parry (an incoming attack)...again...stupid. To make fights more difficult they just keep upping the number of dudes you take on at once, which takes things to a ridiculous difficulty when fighting 12-15 guys. I remember in batman happily pissing off 15 dudes because I knew I could beat them all flawlessly...not in this game, it's just frustratingly annoying. Bottom line: the driving keeps me playing but the fighting is deplorable and repetitive. I'm not sure I would recommend this to a friend unless they are just huge fans of the series...be warned.    … Expand

    Mad Max is an open-world action title for Ps4 and Xbox One from Avalanche Studios, very much in the style of the Far Cry series.

The game comes hot on the heels of Mad Max Fury Road, the astonishingly good, award-winning film starring Tom Hardy. You play as Max, the bearded wastelander we have all come to know and love. He is on a mission to reclaim both his car and glory from villain Scrotus in the post-apocalyptic wasteland, with the help of his trusty friend and mechanic, Chumbucket. Don't expect much on the storyline front. It's simply not all that enthralling. We've all seen it before. Even the characters aren't very memorable or unique. This adventure is all about gameplay. It's all about checking the boxes, upgrading your weapons, car and equipment, that sort of thing. This approach actually works really well here. That's the sticking
    point. You never run out of things to do, whether it's conquering a new boss, clearing out some underground mines, defeating a convoy or doing errands for leaders in various territories. Some of it can get repetitive, but the constant feeling of improvement and accomplishment make it worthwhile. Upgrading various components at each stronghold proves to be very helpful. By doing so, you will gain access to free water, free fuel and improved weapons and accessories. As far as weapons go, Max has only a few toys in his arsenal. These include the shotgun, harpoon, thunderpoon, sniper rifle and a couple others. It is the wasteland after all. It is also noteworthy that ammo is very hard to come by.

    The combat system is reminiscent of the Arkham series. It doesn't copy it though, it has its own unique style. The exceptional fighting animations make it satisfying to kick your foe's tail. It is always a pleasure to run into some baddies while driving across the desert, because fighting is so fun. It never feels like a chore or drag. I like how you can finish someone off with a shiv too, Tomb Raider style. When Max gains enough momentum, he can enter Fury Mode. That's when combat gets even more awesome. You essentially tun into a beast who can do wrestling moves on enemies, deal double damage and string together more combos. It's pretty amazing. I did come across some control issues where I would hit the correct counter button but Max wouldn't counter. These moments were few and far between though. The real fun in the game is simply scavenging. Looting every camp, nook and cranny is immensely satisfying, primarily because you know upgrades will soon follow. It never got old defeating enemies in each camp, looting everything in the area then darting off to the next location. It's all about checking those boxes and it's a ton of fun. One other gameplay element to note is racing. You can compete in races and challenge other players' best times. It's a cool diversion, but it doesn't stand out as anything great. Visually, the game is beautiful. It's the best-looking desert in any game to date, that's for sure. The character models, vehicles and locations all shine with color and detail. In the audio department, I wish there was more music. It's almost nonexistent. You'll mainly hear the grumbling of your car's exhaust, which can grow annoying after so many hours.

    Mad Max is not without its issues. As I previously stated, the story isn't going to pull you in and the characters aren't anything special. One thing that does contribute to the story are things you collect called history relics. These are remnants left behind from the world you once knew and loved. The surrealism behind how different the world was and is now is what gets Max (and the player) emotional. It's quite jarring and adds a lot to the experience as a whole. The combat system is great, but at times it feels like you've done it somewhere before (because you have). The wasteland is divisive because many gamers see emptiness, while others see that as simply the style of the game. I noticed a few bugs, most notably, vehicles randomly disappearing and Max's car is sometimes without sound. These are minor technical issues but they need to be cleaned up. Mad Max seems to be a divisive game overall among gamers. Personally, I had a great time with it. That's saying something, especially considering the fact that I like plot-driven games. The main story along with occasional side quests will take around 35 hours to complete, which is a hefty amount of gameplay, offering a big bang for your buck. Ignore the negative noise and give Mad Max a shot. It may falter in some areas and become repetitive over time, but it's fun and has high replay value. (7/10)    … Expand

    I won't beat around the bush... Batman Arkham combat with a less interactive Fallout 3 styled world. Vehicle combat is a lot of fun and this is a very entertaining game. This isn't a bad game, not at all. It's a lot of fun and it's well made. However I can't help but miss the original idea of this game. I've followed this game since its rumor.

However I can't help but miss the original idea of this game. I've followed this game since its rumor. I love Mad Max, they're my favorite movies and I love games inspired by them. Some of the rumors seemed to have been false or were cut from production.

    The game would benefit from a better mix of guns and combat. If you didn't want to have a third person shooter they could have at least put in the mechanics of a third person shooter but made bullets extremely scarce. Meaning you and your enemies would run out of bullets very quickly thus hand to hand combat would ensue. You could strategize your bullets to take out the first few enemies or the harder enemies. If you encountered enemies with guns while you were out of ammo you could take cover and draw their fire by poking out then straight up bum rush them when they're empty. Yes this game has guns but they're mechanics are from Assassin's Creed. And yes the combat is something I've never liked from Assassin Creed and Batman games, where you could just parry endlessly and win. Batman had better combat though. This needed combat like Sleeping Dogs, which had the parry but you couldn't use it to always win. Sleeping Dog's combat was very intricate and offered challenge.

    This game doesn't have much challenge, dying puts you right back to where you were and even refills your health regardless of where it was. I wish games took a note from Dark Souls and old school video game logic... dying should be a bad thing in games. Story and characters are very interesting, although Max is kind of a douche. Chum basically saves this guy and gives him a car, Max complains it's not good enough demanding it should be a V8. Chum also drives to where ever Max is when he's in need and goes with him on his dangerous missions... sure he kind of develops a sicekick thing but Max is just a douche to him the entire time.

    As for the world, it really needed more interaction. Being able to loot items and sell them for scrap would be better. Instead of having scrap that's not only highlighted but it also has a big sign over them for mindless looting. When the game said it had survival aspects I was thinking it would have you hunt coyotes or some animal for food, make a camp like in Red Dead Redemption for when you couldn't get back to your hideout, scavenging for medical supplies, using items/scrap to upgrade your hideout to defend against scavengers. You can upgrade your bases but there's no defense mechanics. It would be nice to have a gang war where you have to defend your forts. As for survival it's just about collecting water and finding food. They did include gas which was of massive importance in the Mad Max series, so kudos for that. Oh and FYI don't bother doing any fun jumps, it will just damage your car.

    I love the Mad Max series. I love Borderlands and Fallout 3 which had a Mad Max feel to them. Sadly... I think they're better Mad Max games. But I'm not saying don't buy it, the game is fun. Just don't expect too much. Besides, the game isn't really that long. If you aim to collect everything and do all the optional stuff then it pans out but it's no where near as long as Witcher 3.    … Expand

    Driving and car combat are big parts of the game, and (arguably) the most fun you'll have here. Cruising around the desert in your custom

    war machine is a blast, as well as all the trouble you're likely to get into just by doing so. Enemy car patrols and convoys are fairly

    frequent, and there are plenty of options to deal damage. This keeps the desire to keep upgrading the car a high priority.

    Once the larger game world opens up (about an hour in), the real fun begins. Casually driving around and causing chaos, completing the

    main missions, and messing around with custom car configurations are all dumb, loud fun. The game got really bogged down, however, when I

    tried to take it too seriously and complete 100% of everything.

    Trying to knock off every point-of-interest on the map screen reveals an ingrained repetitiveness to the tasks that leads to joy-numbing

    boredom. Using the dog to sniff out land mines is fun one time, but not thirty times. The same goes for scavenging locations, road races,

    and even the base camps. There just aren't that many different things to do here. Batman this is not.

    Speaking of Batman, Mad Max (like Shadow of Mordor) basically rips the dark knight's free-flow combat system right off. Way to cut those

    corners, WB. The game tries to custom-tailor the fighting to Max by making him more of a brawler. This amounts to having only one actual

    move you can do over and over (surprise - it's a punch in the face!) and making Max slow and clunky. There's no way to interrupt your own

    move to counter an incoming punch from the guy behind you (a problem Rocksteady fixed years ago), so timing is really key. To spice things

    up with some originality, Max also gets a move to avoid incoming attacks. Can you guess what it is? Yeah, it's a freakin' somersault. To

    be fair, rolling out of the way of incoming hit-and-runs while Chumbucket fixes your car never gets old.

    Ah, Chumbucket. Apparently the one thing missing from the Mad Max universe was a comedy sidekick who's not only completely unfunny, but

    also who's annoyance factor is of a Jar Jar Binks-level intensity. The developers also decided to have him follow you EVERYWHERE YOU GO

    and comment on EVERY SINGLE THING THAT HAPPENS IN THE GAME. There's no way to drive off without him or turn off his audio. He sounds like

    a mentally-handicapped anxiety-case was force-fed caffeine pills and possibly some hallucinogens. Colorful characters are great in small

    doses, but not like this.

    The car physics feel perfect for smashing or just driving around. It's when racing is involved that things get sticky. If the car even

    grazes the edge of the race track or a rock, it's likely to go airborne and land facing the wrong direction. Thanks, havoc engine. Even

    in the open desert, the handling is a problem with tight cornering. It's way too easy to have the whole car spin out of control. You

    can't combine the crazy physics of GTA with the picky precision of Forza and expect people to not free-flow their fist through the TV

    screen. Number 2 seems to be the magic number with video games. Here's hoping they can work out the kinks and deliver a 9/10 sequel in a few years. The Good: - Car combat is really satisfying. - Building custom cars rarely gets old. - Breaking someone's jaw feels great. - Feels like Mad Max. The Bad: - Chumbucket. - Max is too slow needs more moves. - Need to be able to counter an attack at any time. - No way to save custom car configurations. - Archangels don't line up with when upgrades are available. - Almost impossible to build a car that's not ugly (but it IS Mad Max, so...) - Mini bosses need to not all be THE EXACT SAME OPPONENT COPIED AND PASTED FIVE TIMES WITH DIFFERENT-COLORED ARMOR. - Max needs to be able to fix up his own damn car. The road warrior doesn't know how to use a wrench? - Not being able to drive The Interceptor until the end. Let us have some fun before you take it away. - No way to easily locate the car bodies. - No clear reward for adding to the stockpiles. - Endless desert. How about more than one biome? It's Australia, not Vault 101. - Drifting? Things I wish I knew sooner: - The rolling actually helps a lot. - You don't the yellow winch to kill a war crier. You can actually just shoot them. - Don't bother trying to eliminate all threats in an area unless you need to unlock something. - The quicker you get to Gastown, the quicker you can upgrade Chumbucket's wrench. - The big dust storms blow crates across the desert full of HUGE amounts of scrap. - There are game-breaking bugs that can pop up if you leave a camp in the middle. - Upgrade the harpoon. Ripping a wheel off a car is a one-shot kill.    … Expand

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.

    After pretty much finishing the game (I'm trying to get it on a 100% fairly close to that now)I can say that you should get this game if you enjoy the open world exploration and not for the storyline of the game.
    The story is not that great and could've been done better.

    A lot of reviewers/players complaint about the fact that the side missions etc are fastly repetetive and honestly I have to agree with that.
    They couldve added some more stuff to do and removed a couple of things.
    For instance the scavenging over the whole world is a nice addon , but having to get every single one of them for a trophy or achievement feels a bit overkill.

    Coming to the trophy/achievement subject a lot of them are earned doing the repetetive side missions and exploration missions.
    Since I'm a trophy hunter myself this is highly frustrating , don't get me wrong I like a challenge but doing the same thing over and over (basically grinding) for such a useless trophy isn't really worth it.
    So if youre a trophy/achievement hunter with a lot of time on his or her hands go for it , otherwise i'd reccomend going for another game.

    But the story is weak and only makes an appearance now and then between repetative 'capture the outpost' quests.
    Wbros have just done the usual wash and rinse gameplay from MESoM, which is exactly the same as most ubisoft FC & ac games. That's the problem for me, once you play for an hour or 2 you just get the feeling you've done it    Looks good, combat is fun, crashing cars is fun too.

    The reviews for this game are ridiculous. The wasteland is too empty!? That's what it's like in every mad max movie! The progression and ability to create your car and customize max is great! I don't know what reviewers were expecting, Its fun and is what Mad max should be. Yes it get's repetitive but it sort of fits the story in a weird way.

    Mad Max places players in the role of a lone warrior who must embark on a journey to reclaim his stolen interceptor from a deadly gang of marauders. Good.

    Mad Max is a very mediocre game in many regards to the narrative, the combat, the racing ext. borrowing elements from other franchises without innovating or excelling in anything particular. However, what it does do is give you a clean well made Mad Max game that runs well with very few, or none in my case, bugs and other technical problems.

    If you are a petrol head like myself, this is definitely worth grabbing. Although it is worth mentioning however that the game can get quite repetitive, especially during later stages.There was a real opportunity here for fun and creative side missions, but unfortunately this is not the case.

    Just like the movie Mad Max:Fury Road that came out earlier this year, Mad Max is not going to win any awards for narrative or innovation, but man was it a fun ride.    … Expand

    "Where must we go, we who wander this wasteland, in search of our better selves.”

    The Good:
    Beautiful environment, chaotic car combat, great world building

    The Bad:
    Repetitive fetch quests, shallow hand-to-hand combat, inconsistent difficulty

    Verdict:
    Good, not great. Mad Max is fun albeit pure fluff. Worth playing if you're a fan.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. el juego va muy bien, pero lo malo es que cuando llego a una parte en donde uso el nitro me "espera a que se complete el proceso de instalación. Progreso 49 completado" y no me deja jugar mas de hay y tengo que iniciar de vuelta todo el juego y eso me enoja por que ya se lo que tengo que hacer y solo pierdo mi tiempo, como ahora AYUDAAAAAAAAA.… Expand

    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]
