    a masterpiece in the form of a game. The atmosphere created in the game and that the developers managed to convey is truly impressive, the emotion we feel when playing, for me, is just surreal

    He echado de menos una relación homosexual. Está claro que las mujeres no le gustan demasiado o nada. Max tiene uno de los mejores cuerpos masculinos de todo los juego que he jugado y el paquete es precioso.

One of those under appreciated gems that has everything from moments of chaotic mayhem and fun to profoundly strong, emotionally driven scenes that bring a tear. One of gaming's great tragadies is that trash like GTA Online and Fortnite print money so games like Mad Max don't get sequels or DLC because the profit margin wasn't astronomically high. Buy the game and thank me when the credits roll.… Expand

And it looks amazing too! driving around with your badass Magnum Opus is so thrilling. Also, the explosions in this game look absolutely amazing. The game encapsulates the world of Mad Max perfectly. 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. Not a lot of games can do this, a lot of games can get really boring after a while. Overall, a 10/10 excellent game, and it's really sad how underrated this game is, more people should know about it.    … Expand

I'm going, to be honest, this is a fine game combat is good, customization is good, the upgrade system is there & the story & character arcs can be there but there are two problems I have with the game: No replayability & no character development outside of Max & Hope the game does nothing to develop the characters or the plot, the plot just takes a 180 from getting my car back to getting revenge if you want a game for 5 bucks this is a threat game just don't expect to have much fun after the first time you beat the game… Expand

    Great story, true to the history of the franchise. Pace of the game structured so that you enjoy each aspect, even collecting scraps. You feel like Max, exploring the world and building your car. The only piece that is a bit dull, is disarming bombs with the Buggy. Great customization of car and Max.

    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.

    Jogo incrivelmente divertido e descompromissado.
    Mad Max me levou para o mundo distópico incrível e bem modelado, apesar de as vezes parecer vazio e sempre bom tomar cuidado para não se deparar com um carro inimigo.
    Outro ponto positivo são os acampamentos e faróis que devemos destruir. Os acampamentos são verdadeiros labirintos cheios de inimigos .

    When I first saw a youtuber play this I thought it was just another run in the mill open world game but when I saw that it was on sale I bought it out of curiosity and damn was I wrong. This game is outstanding and with an interesting story to back up the fun gameplay, I have been hooked ever since I got it. I definitely recommend this game to anyone.

    We all know the story of Mad Max, the lone wanderer who is trying to escape his past and some how survive in a world that has collapsed.

Avalanche studios have done a fantastic job to bring the sand, dust and war boys onto our tv screens, and the result is far superior to the 'Fury Road' effort from George Miller (a movie that I found to be very overrated).

    Like the movie Max loses his car at the start and must spend the game building the 'black on black' back to a devastating war machine. Plenty of hours are spent trans-versing this fallen world. And enjoyable it is.

    Mad Max is without a doubt the most underrated game I have ever played. It can easily stand beside the big boys in the gaming world and be proud of its take on the post apocalyptic game world.

    Pros-
    Great cut scenes
    Fantastic graphics (the best I have seen on Xbox)
    Clouds-sunsets
    Pacing of game
    Vehicle combat
    Easy map to navigate
    Great enemies/antagonist
    Fantastic fire and explosions
    Chumbucket suits the game story IMO

    Cons-
    Un-Australian terminology (hoods, flashlights)
    Repetitive game play as you get deeper into game
    Hand to hand fighting is quite simple (but I still liked it)
    Poor car handling on control pad

    All in all I really love this game for another main reason. The solitary wanderer (when well done) is a great character and something that many of us can relate to in the real world. Which I guess is why many of us computer game so much- escapism from a world gone mad.

There are tons and tons of Easter eggs referring to the full genre of movies and some good humor hidden around the map.

    Mad Max is a highly underrated game, in my opinion. This was a game that I could not put down. The gameplay is different in regard to resource management, which is a welcome addition. The story was also a lot stronger than I had initially expected it to be. My only complaint is that the frame rate is a little bit on the choppy side.

    Paragraph 1 : THE INTRO
    Basically, i didnt follow or understand the storyline. But u have like nothing and this goblin thing is trying to help u and it is ugly as sin let me tell u it is so fugly!. But anyway the story really isnt that long at all like if u didnt do the side missions and all of that then u could finish the stroy in like two days , and yeh, the side missions are really repetitve but they dont get old. OH AND THE FIGHTING IS MADTING . Its like batman arkham with assains creed except u fight dirty like u ruin people!. U have to liberate (sort of) areas of the map which are massive. (well two of the ganglands are and one of them is puny). But that takes up a lot of time and its the best way to get upgrades. Initially, it takes a long time to become decent at the game because u start out awfully like u have the bare essentials bastille its good. Once u get a certain amount of upgrades the game becomes too easy and u end up laying waste to like EVERYTHING !

    PARAGRAPH 2 THE 'CONCLUSION
    the game is really good, realistic and gritty,massive open world and sandboxy type gameplay, this, combined with somewhat frequent and sudden dips in frame rate make this game swt g.

    Not nearly as magnificent as the movie, and not as brilliant as Shadow of Mordor was when it came out, but Mad Max is still a fun (if somewhat repetitive) adventure in a post apocalyptic world filled with sand, blood and gasoline. There's nothing really innovative in the mix, but in the end it's way better than most movie based tie ins. More than enough for fans of Mad Max and videogames all over the world.
