Mad Max Review - Bleeding out on the blacktop [Dealspwn]

Dealspwn: Surviving in a real post-apocalyptic wasteland would be a miserable existence. Mad Max nails that feeling of just wanting to crawl under a rock wait for the end. It's a miserably dull grind, occasionally made bearable by the vehicular carnage once you've suffered through the first half.

Completely disagree, love this game and had a blast, easily a 9/10 for me.

XboxOneX3153d ago

I would give it an 7.5 I think. Its not perfect but the game sure was a lot of fun. XoXo

starchild3153d ago

Dealspwn reviews suck, for my tastes. I almost never agree with them.

For me this game is great.

XboxOneX3153d ago

Yes DealSpawn will ALWAYS post the most controversial reviews to bait people to the website. Its very sad that they are doing this but it seems a lot of people on N4G can see this and I am sure will start giving them a thumbs down in future!

Kingdomcome2473153d ago

I've been mainly destroying outposts, convoys, etc... I've already overleveled Max as I'm a Sand King level legend, and I haven't even completed act 2. My current story mission is to take down the jaw with the thunderpoon that I just acquired. I'd give it an 8 so far. The writing isn't very good, and some of the side quests are poorly designed. I'm looking at you minefields. It's a bit repetitive, but it's fun. I just wish that they'd made the hand to hand combat more challenging. I was really surprised by easy it is. The Batman games and Shadow of Mordor had far more challenging combat systems.

These guys must be playing a different game to me. 8.5/10 from me

Maxor3152d ago

This is yet another shit review for a great game. It's one of the cases where the reviewer isn't reviewing fun, but systems that he finds annoying.

This is basically what happened to Shadow of Mordor before the game became popular through word of mouth. It's a shame because this is the best racing game of this generation.

5/10??! Are you kidding me??! Isn't that what Superman 64 got? That's almost unplayable. I think if you hate it, you still can't ignore the production quality and that it does some things to make it somewhat fun for OTHER people so that makes it at LEAST a 7! God, 5 is just awful and I'm LOVING the game!

Lon3wolf3153d ago

8/10 from me, a good game that plays nice with quite a bit to do. It just one of those games that doesn't shine above others of its ilk but it is still decent.

Kingdomcome2473153d ago

My sentiments to a t pretty much. They actually did a pretty good job of giving some nice visual variety to the different regions. The sulfur pits area looks almost alien in nature. I also wish the dang guy could jump more than two inches off of the ground. I understand that he has a knee brace, but whenever you go to climb up the areas with the yellow bars he leaps at least five times his normal jump.

Eiffel3153d ago (Edited 3153d ago )

This read like someone who is clearly just not into being challenged. Having to put time and effort into a game sounds like a real burden to them.

Kingdomcome2473153d ago

I truthfully haven't found that the game poses any meaningful challenge thus far. Especially after you build the stronghold projects. The ground combat is exceptionally easy imo.

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.

thorstein8d ago

Mad Max is underrated. Such a fun game.

Cacabunga7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

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

JonTheGod7d ago (Edited 7d 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!

Yi-Long7d 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 ...

Demetrius7d ago

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

Demetrius7d 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

Gardenia466d ago

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

dumahim466d ago

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

toxic-inferno466d 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.
