Mad Max Review (Gamespot)

There's a good reason why the new Mad Max game occasionally resembles this year's Mad Max: Fury Road: it's a canonical prequel that pits you against Scabrous Scrotus--son of the film's sinister Immortan Joe. Mad Max's wasteland is greasy and dusty, a place where mechanical monstrosities clash against the natural beauty of the desert. You play the part of Max, an unfortunate wanderer with a troubling past. You charge across open roads in search of redemption, running over those who stand in your way. Driving is central to life in the wasteland, and it's the basis for the game's best moments, too. The combination of an intriguing world and great car combat make Mad Max an occasional joy to play, but shallow ground combat and a handful of other missteps ultimately drive the game off the road.

What a joke of a review. Oh well, opinions are opinions

mudakoshaka3172d ago

Started playing a couple of minutes after release...and looked amazing immediately. The menu was enough for me to be convinced that this is a great game. And it is amazing so far...get this game, don't care about the bad reviews.

And while I was playing, I remembered the trailer where you have different choices of performing a mission, and that is great! And just driving around in a beautiful wasteland with great background sounds is a game by itself (with all these indies these days). So add awesome action, great combat fighting and the story of Max which is about surviving in an empty wasteland, and you got yourself a hell of a game.

Just buy the game and witness it!

This guy is LITERALLY complaining that a flamethrower does more damage than a burning car. I think we need to re-purpose the IGN meme. "Flamethrower too hot. 6/10" - GameSpot

6 Games That Genuinely Deserve A Current-Gen Upgrade

Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.

thorstein21d ago

Mad Max is underrated. Such a fun game.

Cacabunga20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

RDR2 still looks astounding on PS4 Pro. i cannot imagine how it could look with a next gen upgrade.

JonTheGod20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

Probably not very different.

No idea why this article is highlighting recent beautiful graphically-advanced games and saying they need current gen makeovers. They already look better than most new releases; just compare Arkham Knight and Suicide Squad!

exputers20d ago

I see what you did there.

Yi-Long20d ago

It's obviously never gonna happen since Sony killed the game and studio, but Driveclub. Even in its current state, 10 years after release, it still puts many competitors to shame ...

Demetrius20d ago

I'm not into racing games but yeah I even looked at gameplay of that sometimes

Demetrius20d ago

Mad max ikr! Far cry primal, it amuses me how ubisoft just left ac unity hanging, sadly most of the good staff left from rocksteady while being forced to make that abomination smh

I had a blast with a Bugs Bunny game on PS1 as a kid. It is probably trash now but at the time, it was awesome.

"50 Cent: Blood in the sand"

Ps3 scored 6/10 all round loads of review sites but was so much fun while not a technical masterpiece in any way has a worthwhile engaging story and script and of course an unbeatable soundtrack.

Honorable mention to Drive Clubs Ferrari Fxx-K. Should be there over Horizon.

The Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak from the Gran Turismo series

Nissan Skyline from Need for Speed Underground

Motorcycle Steamroller from Dead Rising 3

And finally a car you never drive but saves your ass over and over : Honey Badger from COD MW2

I was thinking of Mad Max. That V8 felt really good to drive around in, especially with upgrades.

dumahim479d ago

No one liked the Batmobile in Arkham Knight. Top 10?

toxic-inferno479d ago

I don't know... It was a strange addition to the game, and the parts of the game where you had to fight in it were tedious. But driving it around Gotham felt brilliant.
