Any pointers on that game? And maybe a game to check out that you suggest?
I liked the lizard kills. That was one of the coolest little moments in fury road, when he stomps the two-headed lizard and eats it right from under his boot heel. Being able to do that in the game if you were quick and alert enough was just a fantastic little nod to that movie.
Same. Beaten the game around 5 times. I love that final boss fight at the start, when you see Max raging pissed off and hear the voices of the dead women. Gives me chills everytime

Love this game but it definitely has flaws, one being that every top dog mini boss is the same just with different color schemes. It was pretty disappointing because they could've come up with some pretty badass designs for villains
That's probably my big complaint about the game, too, and I've put a couple hundred hours into it. A collection of Humungus juniors. Getting to fight Tenderloin and Stank Gum became refreshing since they weren't the same ol' boss fights, though they themselves played similarly as dual knife using dexterous fighters
There was a glitch when I played on PC, at least. I fired the harpoon too high above a target and suddenly the harpoon wire was on the top and bottom, just quivering, literally anywhere I drove. Couldn't pull it back - it's like the wire got stuck in time. lol I restarted and it was fine, but definitely weird. lol

Just bought this for $5 from the Xbox marketplace. I have to admit the whole post apocalyptic wasteland theme really isn't my cup of tea but I like the combat and building my car.
There are two pretty creepy information encounters in the wasteland that show Max's descent into madness. But if you stop playing after you beat the game, or at least you do all the last few story missions together at once and then stop, you'll never see them.

@@Halo4Ever90 Yet in Mad Max you rarely ever have to refuel, making that mechanic mostly pointless. In Days Gone, you run out of fuel you gotta go hunt some down on foot and hope you don't come across something dangerous, this makes it much more engaging. In Mad Max that's hardly an option since it's a vast desert wasteland so fuel basically lasts forever or you're fucked unless you just fast travel, that shouldn't be the solution. The car literally doesn't even run out of fuel even if it's empty, it just lowers your maximum speed to a crawl.
@@jetthejudge It's not real life though, if the car rarely ever runs out of fuel, if at all, then why even have a refuel mechanic in the first place. It might as well have infinite fuel and not show a guage for it.
If you guys can get this to 1K likes and maybe 30K views in the next few weeks, I'd be beyond grateful! I definitely want to talk more about this game in the future!
THANK YOU!.. I just loved your review, it covers so many sides of this game and I really appreciate the fact that you're doing it after some years. I wish you all the best of success and please keep going with your great job. ✌️😁
It’s nice to see comments like this after the disaster I read last week. Guy told me my channel was above average at best and if he could play me at 1.5x the normal speed, that was a problem with my writing.
Best apocalypse game ever made! Open world, best graphic for this ages, still kicking that story and many hardcore missions! A lot upgrades and customisation! Worth it to play one more time after years!
@@the_criminal_mastermind Me too, and I can’t wait to play it on the PS5. From what I’ve seen on a few RUclips videos the improvements aren’t overwhelming, but there definitely noticeable.
Also Avalanche Studios did make another one basically... Rage 2, it just wasn't great, the driving felt super sluggish in comparison. I immediately stopped playing it and went back to Mad Max again
I think I enjoyed this game far more than most seeing as Mad Max and Road Warrior are two of my all time favorite films. Definitely my favorite Avalanche game by far
I loved this game, I need to play it again. The story had so much potential but it fell flat on its face.Thank God the gameplay made up for it. Another great review Icy, well done
I bought this game back when it released and to this day, I am still playing it on and off to completion. Possibly the world record for longest time to complete! (~6 Years so Far)🤣
Awesome review! Thank you! I love hearing reviews like this, where the author shares their own personal preferences and opinions on a game. I feel it adds so much more to a review.
Glad to see this game get more attention, because it definitely is underrated, I hope more people discover this gem, it didn’t help that it released the same day as MGSV: the phantom pain. But it was one of my first Playstation 4 games and I still love it.
I think this game works so well because it’s relatively simple and doesn’t ever punch above its weight or over promise. It is what it is and I love it for that. So much so that I spent 250 hours on one save and got the platinum trophy. Okay not a big feat but it’s a brilliant game
IcyRhythms definitely. I didn’t feel like I wasted them playing it. All the different locations. The puzzle (I guess you could call it that) trying to figure out ways into places while not alerting people. Was a good challenge at times I found.
I have had this game on PS4 Library for years now and never played it. (It was once a free game of the month) This video made me download it! Big fan of combat style games like Shadow of Mordor and Assassin's Creed.
This was the perfect review to help me decide to get it! It was on sale today for 5 dollars, and I looked this up to see if it's worth the purchase. Thank you!
Wanted to play that so badly my mate bought it for my birthday when it came out but it's one of only 3 games in my life that ever made me motion sick Rage, new DOOM & Cyberpunk I have over 400 games and only those 3 ever gave me motion sickness.
On a mission to make fun gameplays from it🙌🏽First video today - if you won't like it, means you don't like straight to the point content😆😁Blessed day👋🏽
I love the Combat System here. It's raw and brutal. Exactly how it should be. The free flow system fits right there and I feel the impact, especially when I enter the fury mode! Ah, the wrestling moves are crushing.
the only thing I don't like about fury mode is the screen effect, I wish we could disable it. also it would be cool to have dismembering when you use melee on enemies.
Bought this on a whim when it was under 10€ on the PS store. One of the best open world games tbh. Only thing I didn’t like: every place you’re in, the game tells you how many secrets/resources there are in the area, which kind of removes the joy of exploring and finding stuff on your own. Other than that, i could also live without the godawful disarm-the-three-mines missions, but that’s all. All the rest is top quality stuff
The car is every bit of a character as Max. The world is big and open to incentivize using the car to get from place to place. if there was more to do in the wolrd a lot of people would walk from place to place. I rarely used Roach in Witcher 3 unless I knew I was needed to go a long distance right then.
This game is a favorite of mine. I was a very new inductee into the Mad Max series, and I went into it all knowing of the series without actually seeing it, until I got tired of driving through the same old Nomad stuff again and again in Cyberpunk 2077 (a game I really like, sue me). And it's a fun game. And while you said you didn't like all the little things like emblem hunting, it's what kept me going after beating the main storyline. I need that little motivator to keep going, and treasure hunting did it for me.
This is the sort of game that needs a remake or re-release. Fix the TONS of technical issues, add an alternate ending since the current one is garbage (and ultimately ruins the game), put in maybe a new game plus mode, and remove that obnoxious challenge that requires being connected to their online servers (which are shutting down at the end of this month)
I started playing this game this week on pc and omg this game is awesome. 6 years and looks incredible and the the mechanics are pretty good. Loving it so far
One of my favourite things in this game is all the hidden stuff. There is a big system of caves in the west that are unmarked. I've never managed to fully explore them because I got lost the whole time lol
Even though it’s not canon to the film, it really feels like it could be the sequel to the Road Warrior. I love the atmosphere, gameplay and pretty much everything about the game.
I realised that MadMax tackles one "postapo-world" problem that gets overlooked quite often. The shelf life of gasoline and diesel fuel. See, Gas and Oil (not crude oil) have quite short shelf life compared to other products. For gas its about 3-6 months (depending on octane count). To put that into perspective, if you would see your local gas station being filled on day 1 of "world goes boom", you would have LESS than 3-6 months for that fuel to be used or else it would simply not work. Even shorter if storage containers are old or low quality. In MadMax it is never actually said. However, you SEE that people are pumping crude oil and then refining it. Quite neat.
Just Received a FPS Boost 120fps! On sale for $4.99! I'm buying it. It's installing! I don't know how a missed this game when it released! Better late then never especially now that I can play at 120fps now!
He didn't like getting the metal scraps. Bored him. He wanted to get through this game quickly. Dude I could live here in this world. The longer the better! Love scraps to, metals and gasoline mate.
I appreciate it. You'll get more reviews out of me. The random discussion video about some news worthy stuff. I don't do those often anymore though. Mostly reviews
I loved the game but I ended up with the same problem I have with all open-world games over the last few years...I just eventually get bored/tired of the open world. I think since 2014, I've maybe actually completed about 5 or 6 open world games. Most of the others, I put in 20-25 hours and eventually just lose the desire to play them. Sometimes I try to go back to them sometime later and in doing so, I always regret it because I don't recall how to really play the game/see the map with soooooo much to do and I just get overwhelmed and quit again. Sadly I've come to realize the open world genre is just no longer for me. I'm not disparaging this game at all though, it was an excellent game, I just couldn't stick it out and finish it and probably never will. I did actually try to give it another go about a year ago and after like 2 hours I was already exhausted and uninstalled it.
I play games like mad max with RUclips on in the background and the game volume low as I go through game play and pause and turn up game when dialogue comes up I think this way is why I cleared all threat in all areas
There’s no better game studio to make an post apocalyptic game with lots of combustion as Avalanche If you play Just Cause 3 the explosions are very similar, Mad Max is just an excellent reuse of an engine specialized on destruction and flames
I started playing this game for the very first time like a month ago, and I'm actually surprised at how polished I think it is, specially for a game that wasn't that well received. I would say it's even more polished than a lot of ''big'' games that are released nowadays, and I'm having a blast with it.
I quit playing half way through the game. The camps, towers and everything just got so repetitive. Honestly, it started to feel like a real drag playing the game for me. Upgrading the base has no real consequences and feels like a "so what?" feature.
I picked it up again because I always just wanted to finish this game, after a few years away from it it feels fresher again and I'm actually getting through the story this time, but yeah I'd say that the middle part of the game is way too grindy
@@IcyRhythmsthereal last year ....and then the evil within and then dragon quest 11 lol countless others, I remember saying to you to stop praising games as it was costing me a fortune 😂😂
@@IcyRhythmsthereal oh it does man , I feel we have very similar tastes when it comes to games ..well the ones that come to console as I'm a peasant hahaha although I did just pre-order a ps5 so I'm super hyped !!
This is a really good, thorough review! Well done! I only bought this on Steam last week and I'm really enjoying it. I never liked the Batman fighting engine, but I do like the one in Mad Max, even though it's very similar. Perhaps because it's more violent, and I find it a bit more challenging. I would have liked more abilities when fighting. Maybe like Dante's Inferno, where you can purchase moves and then you can just start using them at will. I would have liked to be able to break arms and legs at will, rather than it just sometimes happening. But I'm never bored with the fighting. I was often bored with the Batman games fighting...maybe because it overused the slow-mo, which is really cheesy. I dunno. I completely agree the controls are weird. As in what buttons do what. B (Xbox) being quick fire and also drop of a ladder really annoys me because the amount of times when you're trying to get away from a group of people when you're about to die and you press B twice you drop of the ladder and then pop of a round into the wall! And ammo is rare! That's my biggest gripe right now, so not terrible. Jump is also useless. It's used so rarely and not for any real purpose they should have left that out and made LT aim. Or maybe used LT to lock onto enemies when in CQC so you could then do "special moves" with a combination of A and B, X and Y. But the car and the driving and the car battles is all good for me! Really like that part. The Sound and the way the car starts to handle better as you get a better engine, tires, suspension. I think they got that spot on. At first I hated the physics of the car because it had no drift, and there's no handbrake. But once you get to a Level 3 V6 and get some suspension, it starts to handle like I wanted, which is really cool. Every time I took her out after an upgrade I was like "Oh ya...that's better". Even if just small it was noticeable. Anyways, not a perfect game. But probably one of the best "games of a movie" I've played. And I like they're picking up from the original movies and not Fury Road (which had no story either by the way)
Mad Max does deserve a sequel. Maybe the developers were planning a second chapter in the series. That's why Max gets all the good stuff at the end. The game is highly underrated and should have gotten more respect.
I played for like 10 hours without realizing there was fast travel, it made me wish there was no fast travel at all, driving to a camp and trying to conserve ammo, health and water in order to make it back to camp turns a 10 min camp attack into an hour long adventure where you fight to survive
I loved this game! I platinumed it until the desert was truly barren. I’m heartbroken to hear alien iso, evil within and mad max in the same sentence. Some of my all time fave games this genre that deserve a sequel. Have sales been that bad to not do another one? I’m so tired of assassins creed and these bigger studio titles that don’t deserve more praise than these gems

It's not real life though, if the car rarely ever runs out of fuel, if at all, then why even have a refuel mechanic in the first place. It might as well have infinite fuel and not show a guage for it.
If you guys can get this to 1K likes and maybe 30K views in the next few weeks, I'd be beyond grateful! I definitely want to talk more about this game in the future!
This game is awesome man, on a mission to make dope vids from it🔥🔥🔥
Game definitely still holds up today. I remember when it was announced 6-7 years ago and ohhh man was I excited. It definitely delivered in my opinion
A Mel Gibson skin would've been cool too!
Copyright issues on his likeness.
This game was so underrated it was the best game I've ever played and it still holds up five years later
Tru that
THANK YOU!.. I just loved your review, it covers so many sides of this game and I really appreciate the fact that you're doing it after some years.
I wish you all the best of success and please keep going with your great job.
✌️😁
I will do just that. You’re very kind. Thank you
man I just discovered your channel. this is GREAT stuff. good writing, not much fat on the script, solid delivery and just all around good content.
It’s nice to see comments like this after the disaster I read last week. Guy told me my channel was above average at best and if he could play me at 1.5x the normal speed, that was a problem with my writing.
Play me at 1.5x the speed and still understand everything*
@@IcyRhythmsthereal If someone concentrated anyone could do that. don't worry. your delivery is good and writing is great. keep going man
Best apocalypse game ever made! Open world, best graphic for this ages, still kicking that story and many hardcore missions! A lot upgrades and customisation! Worth it to play one more time after years!
Just got it for 5 dollars on the store, great review got it after watching
Hope you like it!
@@IcyRhythmsthereal thankyou! It’s a good game, still playing it😊
I'm waiting for a sequel or even DLC
We just gonna have to be satisfied with it being a rare gem.
@@X-Factor-22 yeah your right and I still play it
@@the_criminal_mastermind
Me too, and I can’t wait to play it on the PS5. From what I’ve seen on a few RUclips videos the improvements aren’t overwhelming, but there definitely noticeable.
It would be dope af as a dlc of you going out into the great nothing and finding something
@@superiorsloth4677
Definitely!
A Mad Max multiplayer dlc would have been icing on the cake for this game
that would never work out
Also Avalanche Studios did make another one basically... Rage 2, it just wasn't great, the driving felt super sluggish in comparison. I immediately stopped playing it and went back to Mad Max again
In my opinion this one crazy game that need the players attention , if I have to rate this game I would give it 9.9 out of 10
I think I enjoyed this game far more than most seeing as Mad Max and Road Warrior are two of my all time favorite films. Definitely my favorite Avalanche game by far
I loved this game, I need to play it again. The story had so much potential but it fell flat on its face.Thank God the gameplay made up for it. Another great review Icy, well done
Also too, great comment and logo as always. Later buddy
I bought this game back when it released and to this day, I am still playing it on and off to completion. Possibly the world record for longest time to complete! (~6 Years so Far)🤣
You must not play it very long or very often lol I've been playing it every day for a week now and I'm like 75 percent of the way to completing it
Awesome review! Thank you! I love hearing reviews like this, where the author shares their own personal preferences and opinions on a game. I feel it adds so much more to a review.
This is a great review. Makes me want to play this now. Lol I also play inverted
Inverted is the ONLY way to play!
Glad to see this game get more attention, because it definitely is underrated, I hope more people discover this gem, it didn’t help that it released the same day as MGSV: the phantom pain. But it was one of my first Playstation 4 games and I still love it.
I think this game works so well because it’s relatively simple and doesn’t ever punch above its weight or over promise. It is what it is and I love it for that.
So much so that I spent 250 hours on one save and got the platinum trophy. Okay not a big feat but it’s a brilliant game
Glad you liked it. You really liked it with that amount of hours!
IcyRhythms definitely. I didn’t feel like I wasted them playing it. All the different locations. The puzzle (I guess you could call it that) trying to figure out ways into places while not alerting people. Was a good challenge at times I found.
This game was a f'ing masterpiece I loved it great video btw!
Thank you. If you shared it or gave me a like, thanks again!
I have had this game on PS4 Library for years now and never played it. (It was once a free game of the month) This video made me download it! Big fan of combat style games like Shadow of Mordor and Assassin's Creed.
I'm mad that you didn't say Arkham
This was the perfect review to help me decide to get it! It was on sale today for 5 dollars, and I looked this up to see if it's worth the purchase.
Thank you!
Really hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Any of y'all remember RAGE? That game was so ahead of its time. It still looks AMAZING today.....and it ran at 60FPS AT 720P ON XBOX360.
Wanted to play that so badly my mate bought it for my birthday when it came out but it's one of only 3 games in my life that ever made me motion sick Rage, new DOOM & Cyberpunk I have over 400 games and only those 3 ever gave me motion sickness.
@@WhatwouldRoddyPiperdo damn man that stinks I've definitely heard of people getting motion sickness from some of these types of games
Inverted control scheme for sure, with you on that one buddy 🙂. Mad Max is an amazing game also 😎.
Proud to say I’m doing an 100% achievement run for this game, almost done too, on the last mission for when you go fight Scaburus for the last time
On a mission to make fun gameplays from it🙌🏽First video today - if you won't like it, means you don't like straight to the point content😆😁Blessed day👋🏽
I love the Combat System here. It's raw and brutal. Exactly how it should be. The free flow system fits right there and I feel the impact, especially when I enter the fury mode! Ah, the wrestling moves are crushing.
the only thing I don't like about fury mode is the screen effect, I wish we could disable it. also it would be cool to have dismembering when you use melee on enemies.
Never gave the game a chance on release, just picked it up while on sale. Hoping to have a better experience. great review
Bought this on a whim when it was under 10€ on the PS store. One of the best open world games tbh. Only thing I didn’t like: every place you’re in, the game tells you how many secrets/resources there are in the area, which kind of removes the joy of exploring and finding stuff on your own. Other than that, i could also live without the godawful disarm-the-three-mines missions, but that’s all. All the rest is top quality stuff
The car is every bit of a character as Max. The world is big and open to incentivize using the car to get from place to place. if there was more to do in the wolrd a lot of people would walk from place to place. I rarely used Roach in Witcher 3 unless I knew I was needed to go a long distance right then.
And I really really liked Chumbucket. Without him this game would have had no heart.
This game is a favorite of mine. I was a very new inductee into the Mad Max series, and I went into it all knowing of the series without actually seeing it, until I got tired of driving through the same old Nomad stuff again and again in Cyberpunk 2077 (a game I really like, sue me). And it's a fun game. And while you said you didn't like all the little things like emblem hunting, it's what kept me going after beating the main storyline. I need that little motivator to keep going, and treasure hunting did it for me.
This is the sort of game that needs a remake or re-release. Fix the TONS of technical issues, add an alternate ending since the current one is garbage (and ultimately ruins the game), put in maybe a new game plus mode, and remove that obnoxious challenge that requires being connected to their online servers (which are shutting down at the end of this month)
Man really?? Well that makes my scrap crew useless
I love this game. We need more games like this
I started playing this game this week on pc and omg this game is awesome. 6 years and looks incredible and the the mechanics are pretty good. Loving it so far
One of my favourite things in this game is all the hidden stuff. There is a big system of caves in the west that are unmarked. I've never managed to fully explore them because I got lost the whole time lol
This game is definitely worth getting. I loved this game.
I just started playing it and it is awesome
Glad you're enjoying it. Come back and let me know if you beat it!
the engine sounds and driving and battling while driving are so well done
@@pmarreck hell yeah that and the explosions, you can almost smell the smoke from the burning cars
The reason there is a lack of music is so that the ambient sounds will be more prominent. This makes the Mad Max world stand out more.
Even though it’s not canon to the film, it really feels like it could be the sequel to the Road Warrior.
I love the atmosphere, gameplay and pretty much everything about the game.
Hear, hear! Radio stations in this dead/dying world = Pfth!
just finished it 70 hours 49 achievements . sending love !
I realised that MadMax tackles one "postapo-world" problem that gets overlooked quite often. The shelf life of gasoline and diesel fuel.
See, Gas and Oil (not crude oil) have quite short shelf life compared to other products. For gas its about 3-6 months (depending on octane count). To put that into perspective, if you would see your local gas station being filled on day 1 of "world goes boom", you would have LESS than 3-6 months for that fuel to be used or else it would simply not work. Even shorter if storage containers are old or low quality.
In MadMax it is never actually said. However, you SEE that people are pumping crude oil and then refining it. Quite neat.
one thing i absolutely love about this game is how they based it off the original 3 movies and not fury road
Subscribed. Can't wait to see more from you. Keep it up. Great review of a definitely underrated gem.
Game looks gorgeous !
Great review, very calm and honest.
yes it does!
Just Received a FPS Boost 120fps! On sale for $4.99! I'm buying it. It's installing! I don't know how a missed this game when it released! Better late then never especially now that I can play at 120fps now!
Hope you enjoy it!
I kinda want a sequel.
I don’t kinda want it. I do in fact want it lol
I really want a sequel!
Days Gone and Mad Max are two of my all time favorite open world games. The best story goes to Day's Gone though.
He didn't like getting the metal scraps. Bored him. He wanted to get through this game quickly. Dude I could live here in this world. The longer the better! Love scraps to, metals and gasoline mate.
My favorite game of 2015 and easily one of my top 10 games of the last decade.
Pretty chill video, I'm gonna subscribe and see where this channel goes
I appreciate it. You'll get more reviews out of me. The random discussion video about some news worthy stuff. I don't do those often anymore though. Mostly reviews
I played this game after completing Rage 2 because I wanted more of the same. I honestly could not tell you which one I loved more.
I need to get back to Rage 2
I loved the game but I ended up with the same problem I have with all open-world games over the last few years...I just eventually get bored/tired of the open world. I think since 2014, I've maybe actually completed about 5 or 6 open world games. Most of the others, I put in 20-25 hours and eventually just lose the desire to play them. Sometimes I try to go back to them sometime later and in doing so, I always regret it because I don't recall how to really play the game/see the map with soooooo much to do and I just get overwhelmed and quit again. Sadly I've come to realize the open world genre is just no longer for me. I'm not disparaging this game at all though, it was an excellent game, I just couldn't stick it out and finish it and probably never will. I did actually try to give it another go about a year ago and after like 2 hours I was already exhausted and uninstalled it.
It can happen. You just didn't want to go through all that again. I understand.
I play games like mad max with RUclips on in the background and the game volume low as I go through game play and pause and turn up game when dialogue comes up
I think this way is why I cleared all threat in all areas
There’s no better game studio to make an post apocalyptic game with lots of combustion as Avalanche
If you play Just Cause 3 the explosions are very similar, Mad Max is just an excellent reuse of an engine specialized on destruction and flames
just what I needed, appreciate the video!
Overall I liked the game. I wish they just polished it up a bit. Besides that still fun.
Tons of fun. If it wasn’t as fun as it is, game would have been super mid
I started playing this game for the very first time like a month ago, and I'm actually surprised at how polished I think it is, specially for a game that wasn't that well received. I would say it's even more polished than a lot of ''big'' games that are released nowadays, and I'm having a blast with it.
No predatory in game store or woke narrative. Thumbs up.
Soooo DO pumpkins really not cry?
I quit playing half way through the game. The camps, towers and everything just got so repetitive. Honestly, it started to feel like a real drag playing the game for me. Upgrading the base has no real consequences and feels like a "so what?" feature.
I hear you. Those are legitimate complaints and not everyone will like that stuff.
I picked it up again because I always just wanted to finish this game, after a few years away from it it feels fresher again and I'm actually getting through the story this time, but yeah I'd say that the middle part of the game is way too grindy
I finished this game yesterday in my PS4, lots of fun, love it.
What an amazing game played on your recommendation lol
When did you play it?
@@IcyRhythmsthereal last year ....and then the evil within and then dragon quest 11 lol countless others, I remember saying to you to stop praising games as it was costing me a fortune 😂😂
@@tazmanceltic I think it's awesome that my opinion means so much to you. I really appreciate it man
@@IcyRhythmsthereal oh it does man , I feel we have very similar tastes when it comes to games ..well the ones that come to console as I'm a peasant hahaha although I did just pre-order a ps5 so I'm super hyped !!
@@tazmanceltic Waiting for that Amazon preorder to go live myself!
This is a really good, thorough review! Well done! I only bought this on Steam last week and I'm really enjoying it. I never liked the Batman fighting engine, but I do like the one in Mad Max, even though it's very similar. Perhaps because it's more violent, and I find it a bit more challenging. I would have liked more abilities when fighting. Maybe like Dante's Inferno, where you can purchase moves and then you can just start using them at will. I would have liked to be able to break arms and legs at will, rather than it just sometimes happening. But I'm never bored with the fighting. I was often bored with the Batman games fighting...maybe because it overused the slow-mo, which is really cheesy. I dunno.
I completely agree the controls are weird. As in what buttons do what. B (Xbox) being quick fire and also drop of a ladder really annoys me because the amount of times when you're trying to get away from a group of people when you're about to die and you press B twice you drop of the ladder and then pop of a round into the wall! And ammo is rare! That's my biggest gripe right now, so not terrible. Jump is also useless. It's used so rarely and not for any real purpose they should have left that out and made LT aim. Or maybe used LT to lock onto enemies when in CQC so you could then do "special moves" with a combination of A and B, X and Y.
But the car and the driving and the car battles is all good for me! Really like that part. The Sound and the way the car starts to handle better as you get a better engine, tires, suspension. I think they got that spot on. At first I hated the physics of the car because it had no drift, and there's no handbrake. But once you get to a Level 3 V6 and get some suspension, it starts to handle like I wanted, which is really cool. Every time I took her out after an upgrade I was like "Oh ya...that's better". Even if just small it was noticeable.
Anyways, not a perfect game. But probably one of the best "games of a movie" I've played. And I like they're picking up from the original movies and not Fury Road (which had no story either by the way)
Totally worth a play through
Mad Max does deserve a sequel. Maybe the developers were planning a second chapter in the series. That's why Max gets all the good stuff at the end. The game is highly underrated and should have gotten more respect.
Today i still play mad max even if i did everything i still play it i just roam around joyriding
I played for like 10 hours without realizing there was fast travel, it made me wish there was no fast travel at all, driving to a camp and trying to conserve ammo, health and water in order to make it back to camp turns a 10 min camp attack into an hour long adventure where you fight to survive
Good review ice, i'm considering this another go man.
Saw the 1st and 2nd movie with Mel Gibson, now I'm all interested in the game only after seeing the movie
I loved this game! I platinumed it until the desert was truly barren. I’m heartbroken to hear alien iso, evil within and mad max in the same sentence. Some of my all time fave games this genre that deserve a sequel. Have sales been that bad to not do another one? I’m so tired of assassins creed and these bigger studio titles that don’t deserve more praise than these gems
