Mad Max (2015 Video Game)
8/10
Embraces the spirit of the films to great effect
20 February 2017
I don't think many people like the 'Mad Max' films for their plot. They tend to like them because of the apocalyptic theme, the brutal aesthetics, quirky characters and high-speed chases. You should be pleased to hear that the 'Mad Max' game has all those qualities in abundance. Whilst the theme of 'Mad Max' may closely resemble the slightly older apocalyptic game 'RAGE', I found it to resemble some of the 'Red Faction' games more closely than anything else. Like 'Red Faction: Guerrilla', it has a fairly interactive (i.e. destroyable!) environment, there's a huge quantity of activities scattered across the map, and the story is typically advanced by returning to a quest-giver and completing an action-packed recon/destroy/retrieve mission. Completionists or perfectionists may complain of a certain amount of monotony after a while, but I never found it dull. I'd recommend it to anyone who particularly enjoys games about the apocalypse, games involving lots of driving, and games which allows lots of destruction.
