Spent over 15 hours exploring the dangerous yet beautiful world of Mad Max, completing the story mode and looking for cars to blow up just for the fun of it.
The combination of an intriguing world and great car combat make Mad Max an occasional joy to play, but shallow ground combat and a handful of other missteps ultimately drive the game off the road. Driving is central to life in the wasteland, and it's the basis for the game's best moments, too. You charge across open roads in search of redemption, running over those who stand in your way. You play the part of Max, an unfortunate wanderer with a troubling past.
Mad Max's wasteland is greasy and dusty, a place where mechanical monstrosities clash against the natural beauty of the desert. There's a good reason why the new Mad Max game occasionally resembles this year's Mad Max: Fury Road: it's a canonical prequel that pits you against Scabrous Scrotus-son of the film's sinister Immortan Joe.
