    I put 18.5 hours into the game on the first day. I find the mechanic of the game being about the car to be -perfect- for Mad Max. The need to fuel the car, drink (a nifty way around a timed hydration mechanic) & eat to heal, and limited ammunition are all in keeping the with Mad Max Universe.

    The roads are and areas are sprawling and there is genuine incentive to clear areas. The tasks can be repetitious but show me a game that doesn't have repetition. I just make sure I don't do the same things back to back and when one specific type of task becomes tiresome -cough- minefields- cough I do something else. Getting Jeet's stronghold upgraded along with upgrading my ammo capacity and melee abilities made the game less threatening. The Havok engine is on display here with fighting I would argue is better than Arkaham.

    Is it game of the year? No. Its not as good as Witcher 3 but IS better than Arkham Knight. If you enjoy sprawling sandboxes or post apoc games this is up your alley. If you are looking for Forza in the desert or something casual stay away.

    If you ever said "man I wish I had a car" while playing FO3/FONV this is your game.    … Expand

    I'll admit that this game has some control issues that people can find annoying. Too many actions are bound to the A button while Y and LT are given single uses. Voice acting is hit-and-miss but Max & Chumbucket are both done well. Chumbucket is a great side-character!

The lighting and weather and sky are unfathomably gorgeous, as is the expanse of landscapes that unfold before you.
    From a world design perspective, the thought and detail here really shine. The diversity between regions is satisfying while maintaining some dignified subtlety, and makes sense and has world-building reasoning behind it (for example, the ancient sea bed that is the southern half of the map has a chalky white craggy area that was once a coral reef; a jagged LV426-style hellscape that was once an underwater volcano; a wind farm area dotted by the skeletons of old harbour turbines; a sulfur-rich yellowy area aptly named "reek hills"; etc). Really, the game and all of its strengths can be summed up in one word: "setting".
    Gameplay-wise, the vehicular combat is extremely gratifying, especially once you get some much-needed upgrades. The hand-to-hand is typical Arkham fare, but nice and crunchy. Capturing various camps and outposts is diverse enough to be entertaining, and it's enjoyable to build projects in the various strongholds and see their interiors become more built-up and populated as a result. There are miles and miles of upgrades you can install on your car, and on Max himself, to benefit the vehicular and hand-to-hand aspects respectively, and they're pleasing to grind down.
    To be fair, it's not all sand and sunshine; here are some admitted rough points:
    - It's not very story-driven, no weighty overarching narrative to connect the bits. To enjoy it, you have to be a fan of the setting and/or of typical open-world-style travails.
    - It's not very original; I could identify a specific game or series as the source of any particular gameplay element. They're brought together and executed well, but strictly speaking there's nothing *new* here.
    - The script falls a little flat, as does some voice acting of unnamed unimportant intel wastelanders.
    - There is the occasional (though usually hilarious) bug, and the framerate occasionally goes to pieces (quitting the game from the xbox tile and launching it again made this go away for me both times it became a problem, so I'm guessing it's a memory leak. I had the same problem with Witcher 3 though, so it's in good company?)
    - F**k the Death Run racing. Stab the Death Run racing right between the eyes. Because the cars they give you for them handle like they're on ice covered in oil, particularly when you're used to driving your Opus with fully upgraded suspension and tires, and it's insanely frustrating (especially because there's no "restart race" functionality, so once you've spun out and missed a barrel gate or two, and can't possibly catch up to the lead car, you can't abort and have to keep racing anyway like a chump or just let the clock run down. You can't even fast travel away. This is a very bad choice/omission, and I hope they add a "restart" or at least "abort" menu option in a future patch or I can't see myself doing much of any of the races.)
    - Oh yeah, I almost forgot: minefields. Minefields are the other stupid thing. You can't fast travel to a point near them, you have to drive all the way there from a stronghold, and then you have to listen to the dog bark annoyingly while you drive around at a crawl so that you don't accidentally roll over said mine. And you can't avoid/ignore them like you can the Death Runs, because their presence contributes to region threat, so if you want to zero that out you HAVE to clear the mines. And their general locations don't get revealed when you survey the region in the balloon, so you have to go out driving around aimlessly to even find the spot to come back with the dog and buggy. Lame. Lame lame lame.    … Expand

Mad Max; a sixth generation legacy of car battles, looting, and fighting. However, this legacy is too few and far between. The car battles are not necessarily rare, but less of a challenge than one would want to expect, and the rewards are repetitive and a little insulting, especially when you find yourself constantly having to pull over and let a mutated psychopath fix your ride before continuing on your quest to take down multiple vehicles.
    The looting and fighting are definitely rare, and far too easy to find. Nothing seemed to speak out to me saying "Whoa! This is amazing, or no way! That was awesome!"- It never happened. And now you're probably wondering why I give this game an eight out of ten. It's because despite its emptiness, lack of depth, lack of difficulty, and lack of reason, Mad Max still manages to pull me in and make me feel like a true road warrior. Through all the explosions and over-lengthy sandstorms, I had fun. That isn't something you can say about every video game you've played. It had value. It has great action and FUN tracking down all of the metal parts, insignias, historical artifacts, and ammunition. It may not be so entertaining the second time around, but it is certainly a must-have title, and I look forward to a sequel with improvements!    … Expand

    This was a day 1 impulse buy do to being a Mad Max fan. Right off the past I was impressed with the graphics and that was one of the main reasons I upgraded to an Xbox One. The graphics on this game set the new standard for visual beauty on the XB1. The landscape looks amazing, highly detailed, and it is pure joy to drive around in the Magnum Opus exploring.
    Upgrading the car and upgrading Max are standard fare done better then most. As with most open world games yes this one does get a bit repetitive but there is enough variety in the combat and scenarios to keep you engaged.
    The car combat stands out as something I haven't seen in a video game for a long time. The car battles are fun, there are a variety of techniques and weapons to use to win the car battles also.
    The game is solid, it does bite off of a lot of other games but if you enjoy Max, and you want a solid game that is a blast to play you cannot go wrong with this one.    … Expand

Currently the only game I own that people are queuing to play at my house.

    Pros:

    Open world. (Much more area to drive than most car games)
    RPG
    Car Racing with Mad Max car on car destruction.
    Shooting, Knifes, Arkham style fighting. Harpoon that can pull guys out of cars, rip tires off etc.
    Customized cars
    Capture and use enemy cars and add them to your collection.
    Build bases and bonuses by collecting scrap (which can make your life super easy)
    Leveling up system that allows you to choose how you level.
    Some customization of your Mad Max character's looks.
    They give free new cars and content.
    If you compete for times online you could win a real off road vehicle. Ends in September though.

    Cons:

    The first hour is rough as it reveals the games weaknesses. Like it's movement (as awkward as the new Metal Gear) and it's needing to be in a specific spot to use certain skills. Or multiple skills on the same buttons, which can cause you to accidentally waste rounds. But once you get through this "tutorial" stage and get to Jeet's base, it truly starts becoming an open world game and starts shining. In fact the more you play the more addictive it seems to get.

    I do wish there was more customization of the Max Character, leveling up, and the Car. But that can easily be added in future patches.

    I also wish I could jump on enemy cars and attack like they do me sometimes.

    Indifferent:

    People say the scrap gathering and other mechanics can become old fast. I can only say they didn't play the game long enough. As once you build up stuff in the Fortresses you get a free health filler, free water refill, free gas refill, free ammo refill, NPC's who gather scrap for you (even while your offline). This scrap is on top of the free scrap you get from liberating enemy bases.

    Some say it's just the same thing over and over. Well that's true of any game. But in this game you can choose to change what your doing and fight, race, crash up derby, build bases, customize cars and do many different things over and over in a free roaming open world.

    This and Witcher 3 are probably the best open world games out there for XB1, until Fallout 4 comes out.    … Expand

    This has been very enjoyable, and better than some of the reviews give credit. Yes the combat (Batman) is easy, yet one tricky racing quest (main story) has effectively halted my game progress. For all that, I like it, yes there is repetition, no it's not one of 2015's giant games, but it's fun, particularly if you enjoy the Mad Max universe.

    The gameworld is key in these sorts of sandbox-style games, and they did a remarkably good job of giving each individual segment of what is essentially a really big desert a unique look and feel. Tar pits bubble in one area, while another is littered with shipping containers and other vestments of a time when oceans had water.

    They also did a remarkable job of making each instance of the myriad open-world activities feel similarly fresh. Each enemy camp is unique and offers various approaches of attack, and even the dozens of 'scavenging locations' each look as though they have a story behind them. I encountered a throne made of whale bone, the rigging of an old ship shooting out of the sand, and an old petrol station converted for more cannibalistic activities.

    The Wasteland looks great and feels lived in, an effect aided by the way enemy convoys kick up huge clouds of dust that constantly move over the horizon. In the same way that the Bat-symbol was used to mark an area of interest in the later Arkham games, pillars of smoke indicate a location worth checking here. It's nice to not have to rely on a mini-map, and as you complete more activities the smoke clears - leaving a more peaceful-looking wasteland. This is a very cool visual reward.

    The side-stuff can get a bit tedious in these sorts of games. It did for me in the Witcher III after reaching Skellige and plundering the eighth shipwreck and receiving nothing worth having, but in Mad Max, if you scout an area with your binoculars, it will tell you if it houses a collectible or an upgrade, so you can be more choosey and ignore what you don't feel you need. Upgrades also work tremendously well.

    There are so many different ways to customise Max, his ride, and the various friendly settlements that all have an impact not just on how they perform and which bonuses you receive, but also the actual look, which releases all the right happy chemicals in my brain. There is a definitive sense of reward which is lacking in a lot of other open-world games.

    The game also offers one of the better takes on Rocksteady's freeflow combat. Unlike in Batman, where the camera widens to offer a better view of the battlefield, it narrows. This means that it's quite easy for an enemy not in your field of view to attack you, and you can't counter what you can't see. It makes fighting feel more like a brawl, than a man trained to physical perfection kicking the crap out of career criminals who never got past the first rung of the ladder. This is of course accentuated by his more brutal and clumsy moveset, but it's another clever presentational trick.

    The story is decent, but aided tremendously by a colourful cast of characters who help to add a little purpose to the making things explode, ramming other things with a car covered in spikes, and brutalising minions.    … Expand

The camera angles are the worst. When driving and it's a MAJOR portion of the game, the camera has a mind of it's own. When you need to look forward, the camera thinks you need to look at the left rear corner panel or off to the side somewhere. This also applies to hand to hand combat. You lose sight of some enemies, only to be blindsided by a sucker punch from an enemy you cannot see 3. Cars just disappear. You need to take enemy cars back to a safehouse to add them to your collection. I've left a car to drive another one and came back and it's gone. Where did it go? I also had one disappear on me while i was running to get into it. 4. Inconsistencies all around. Sometimes Max can fall off a significant mountain top and just tumble and roll with no death, other times Max can fall off a 6ft ledge onto soft desert sand and be dead. 5. Repetitive. Same tasks over and over drive here, get this, pick up scrap, race and repeat. Dialog is also repetitive..everytime Max gets out of the Magnum Opus, he has to tell Chumbucket to stay with the car. And why do we fear the mighty duster so much? It does NOTHING. 6. Archangels. The serve absolutely NO purpose. You can pick your own car body and with scrap and leveling up, can make your car better, faster and stronger than any stupid Archangel. Rage was so much better, which this game sort of reminds me of.

I was torn between this and mgs, but since i already have so many "long" games such as destiny, eso and elite dangerous and the witcher, i felt that i simply wouldnt have time to play another one, so i went with mad max as i wanted some carnage and explosions in the wastelands.

    Now ill tell you this. Im not one of those pretentious reviewers. I dont need idiots from the gaming sites telling me what to think. Half of those guys are just posers who are probably punks in their early 20s. They know nothing about gaming.

    All i can say is this game looks and plays great. I love playing the role of max, wandering the wastelands for scraps. The vehicle upgrades and vehicle combat are very well done. It can be a bit repetitve but theres enough going on to always keep you entertained.

    My only minor gripe is that i wish the combat system was a bit more complex. Even so, the combat feels sick and bloody and raw. Even better than the arkham combat.

    This game is a sleeper hit for me. I love mad max but didnt know much about the game but I took the plunge.

    This game might not be complex, or have a gripping story, but it is pure fun. To me that is the most important thing.    … Expand

    Not impressed. All these tens are again a mystery to me. Are these people playing these games or are they looking at a few videos and then rushing to be the first to shower praise on games that have major issues. I don't get it. This game has some appeal if you have the patience to deal with it's major short comings. To start with the load times are horrendous. The controls are terrible,Not impressed.

I don't get it. This game has some appeal if you have the patience to deal with it's major short comings. To start with the load times are horrendous. The controls are terrible, the invisible walls and places you cannot go are tiresome. The tiny falls that kill you will have you enjoying the slow load times again and again but don't worry, the load screen will prompt you to go buy some more stuff for this game while you are waiting and waiting. I want to have fun in this game but it is standing in my way. The best I can give it is a 6 and that is being generous, you people giving it a ten might want to try playing it.… Expand

    Fantastic game. Great driving and hand to hand combat. Leveling up your car is a blast. The boss fights are too similar is the only small beef i have. Maybe it is just me, but I can't put this game down.

    "Mad Max" is set in the same universe as the great "Mad Max: Fury Road". That was a surprise to me. Another surprise is that it's better than most critics would have you think it is. The gameplay is similar to both "Shadow of Mordor" and "Batman: Arkham Knight" which also bear the Warner Bros. label. "Mad Max" isn't as good as either of those acclaimed titles, but it's a solid video game"Mad Max" is set in the same universe as the great "Mad Max: Fury Road". That was a surprise to me.

The gameplay is similar to both "Shadow of Mordor" and "Batman: Arkham Knight" which also bear the Warner Bros. label. "Mad Max" isn't as good as either of those acclaimed titles, but it's a solid video game debut for the titular character. Avalanche Studios, developer of "Just Cause 2", have created an open-world with plenty to discover and do. While the post-apocalyptic wasteland isn't very interesting, the game itself is never boring due to the various missions, side-activities, collectibles, customization options and numerous upgrades you can purchase.

    The game features a melee combat system similar to "Shadow" and "Batman", but with a more sluggish feel. Punches, kicks and weapon swings seem to have more weight than in those previous games. As Max, you'll spend plenty of time collecting scrap, filling up your water canteen and finding photos of the past. It's very much in the vein of Sony's "The Last of Us". In addition to upgrading your own car, the Magnum Opus, you can also collect plenty of vehicles be either stealing them or building them up. Max can also be upgraded in many ways and taking out the various outposts is always fun since they can be tackled in a few different ways. Releasing air-balloons (which adds activities to the map) never does get tiresome due to the various puzzle-like challenges.

    Overall, "Mad Max" isn't a revolutionary game by any means. It doesn't evolve the genre in any big way and it can get repetitive after awhile. But if loved the summer's "Mad Max: Fury Road" and "Batman: Arkham Knight", then you'll have a good time with this one. 7.5 out of 10.    … Expand

    One of the best looking and most exhilarating games you can play on Xbox 1... This game beautifully borrows the exploration of a Far Cry / Assassin's Creed game, mixes it with driving mechanics from Need for Speed, and throws in the combat made popular by the Batman: Arkham series, while making each of these things seem unique to this game.

This game beautifully borrows the exploration of a Far Cry / Assassin's Creed game, mixes it with driving mechanics from Need for Speed, and throws in the combat made popular by the Batman: Arkham series, while making each of these things seem unique to this game.

    It does have it's flaws - audio is a bit laggy, some of the character models feature a rogue glitchy-looking animation here and there, combat isn't overly challenging and the missions can feel repetitive from time to time.

    That said, these flaws are forgiven by a BEAUTIFUL environment, incredible music and SFX, and exhilarating gameplay which includes seamless transitions between vehicle combat and human combat. There's something to be said for a game whose sound effects can pump you up... reving up the engine of the Magnum Opus for the first time is an incredible feeling, and each upgrade you through onto your blossoming rig adds a level of satisfaction for progression-driven games like this that's rare to find any more.

    If you loved Fury Road, or if anything I said above is interesting to you, stop reading these reviews and go try the game. It's a game that essentially went from not being on my radar to one of my favorite games on XB1 within the first 10 minutes of playing the game.    … Expand

    A spectacle to behold, but Mad Max's barren landscape is lacking the toys to stand up as a proper sandbox. [Nov 2015, p.68]

    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.

    A solid sandbox adventure, lacking in the chaos and madness that the title and license would suggest.
