Excerpt from the review:
"After blockbuster film Mad Max hit cinemas this year, the attention of Mad Max fans eagerly turned to the upcoming game. The movie took everyone by surprise, reinventing Max’s dark and gritty universe with stellar cinematography that was with some of the best action sequences to ever hit the silver screen. Unfortunately, although not a direct adaptation of the film, Mad Max from Avalanche Studios doesn’t quite have the same impact as the blockbuster hit, providing an enjoyable, yet largely forgettable experience."
George Miller expressed dismay toward the 2015 Mad Max game recently, but Avalanche Studios' take on the lore is still so good to this day.
I think the funny thing is if Kojima made a Mad Max game it would be so trippy and "out there" I don't think it would feel like Mad Max by the time he's done with it. This is why he's better off with original new IPs.
Kojima seems like a buzz word these film directors use because he's probably the only big name they've heard from the gaming industry.
I never played it but the recent buzz around Mad Max has piqued my interest. Will check it out this year for sure
Honestly, Kojima would do the game justice, but given his studio's current workload, it's a bit far flung. I could much rather see Bend Studios (Days Gone dev) doing a Mad Max follow-up. I'm playing through DG right now for the first time and I see lots of similarities between the games to where imo Bend could develop an impressive MM sequel.
While i like the Mad Max game and think it's underrated...i don't know why people are mad at George Miller for not liking the game based on the IP he created. Especially since a lot of people hated it at release as well looking at that 69% metacritic.
Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.
RDR2 still looks astounding on PS4 Pro. i cannot imagine how it could look with a next gen upgrade.
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 ...
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
BY MOSHE SWEET: These are the best licensed video games that are not Spider-Man or from the Batman: Arkham series.
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.
I personally am loving Mad Max. I don't know why it keeps on getting low scores. I think it is a very fun game to play. It was worth every penny I paid and I would give it at least a 7.5 or 8 of 10.
The film was hardly a blockbuster and after seeing it I understand why. Superb art direction, costumes and make-up let down by a truly rubbish story and characters so void of depth its doubtful they'd cast a shadow. Its the first Mad Max movie I have been unable to watch more than once.
As for the game, looks ok but nothing special. I'm still playing through Witcher III and with Fallout 4 just round the corner I simply don't have time to play "ok" games of this nature.
LifeinNZ are you confused? The damn movie made over 300 million in just 4 weeks GTFOH!! Not a blockbuster???? Mad max is meant to have a cult following, yet it kicked ass world wide. Best damn action movie in the last decade if you ask me. It was like a roller coaster that started at the top of a high hill and dropped for two plus hours gaining more and more speed as your adrenaline went through the roof. I had to work out after watching it because I was so amped up lol.
