What Mad Max does right

MWEB GameZone writes: "We're surprised by the low to medium scores Max is getting. There are numerous criticisms to throw at it, but none are game-breaking or detract that this is an incredible game. It’s one to lose yourself in, that appeals to the plot-less ridiculousness that we love looking at in Fury Road.

Here's what Mad Max does better than many open world games."

looks like one of those criminally underrated games by the media, just by comparing it to the user scores and experiences. good to hear as I bought it but haven't played it yet, as I got MGS V on the same day and still playing through that!!

fanboysmackdown3154d ago

Same here....bought it and haven't tried it yet and this article has me more stoked to play now.

"I’m surprised by the low to medium scores Max is getting."
you're not alone
apparently the vast majority of the gaming community agree with you

I am more than sure most of those reviewers played the game for about an hour or so, saw its faults and wrote their review.

This game borrows from nearly every game out there, its 2015 what else is there to do honestly.

But the games it does borrow from, are fantastic titles.
Batman Arkham series a bit, and a touch of Shadow of Mordor.

A huge map, amazing graphics, great game play, small learning curve, and a lot of "filler" extras. Repetitive, but in reality, what game isn't today.

I do honestly feel that these review outlets rather crap on games and rant about their faults to get clicks. Instead of focusing on what games do well and get right.

I really hope the scores don't make WB cancel any plans for a sequel. This game is an absolute blast, and with more vehicle options, more mission variety and a more robust combat system, it could be one hell of a franchise.

Got it yesterday and I must say it's just one of those games you can't really stop playing. Something is always happening, it grips you tight and you just can't seem to stop.

Absolutely gorgeous, running wonderfully, combat is brutal and heavy and everything vehicle related is simply balls to the walls insane. I LOVE IT.

I have to agree, I'm in love with this game. Just on a break, time to go back :)

Highly recommend this game!

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.

thorstein7d 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 ...

Demetrius6d ago

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

Demetrius6d 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.

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.
