It's a tried-and-true system, and it works fine at first, although the camera can get stuck at odd angles during close quarters battles. The combat is a rhythm-based affair borrowed from publisher Warner Bros.' recent Batman games - Max smashes his fists into enemies with one button, counters attacks with the tap of another and dodges out of the way of attacks that cannot be countered. Mad Max swaps between on-foot exploration and hand-to-hand fights, and long stretches driving across the sands in the Magnum Opus. It's left to the gameplay to hold interest.
#MAD MAX PS4 UPDATE#
We will be testing Mad Max on retail PlayStation 4 code as soon as we receive it and will update this review if the issues we experienced have been fixed and if it significantly impacts our overall feelings on the game. It's possible that the problems are tied to early code on a debug console, but this was presented to us as the final game code by Warner Bros. It should be noted that we reviewed Mad Max on a debug PlayStation 4, as did several other reviewers who we confirmed these same issues with. In one especially bizarre instance, certain channels of the game's sound disappeared, rendering my shotgun and friendly character dialogue completely silent until I restarted. I also ran into heavy framerate slowdown, both on foot during fights with a lot of enemies, and in the car when going at high speeds and encountering enemy vehicles. When revving through the desert at ridiculous speeds, graphical details would often pop into existence when I was inches away from the rock or building in question. Mad Max relies on a vague sense of licensed familiarityĪs cool as driving around Mad Max's world feels, it's also where the game's technical problems become the most obvious. This Mad Max, by comparison, feels safe and, frankly, boring. They build visions of a world shaped by off-the-wall absurdity and chaos. The films that developer Avalanche Studios are ostensibly drawing from are driven by ambition. Yet there's a feeling that pervaded my time with Mad Max, a sense of everything in the game being. It checks all the boxes for a modern open-world game too, from a sprawling 30-hour campaign to a giant map littered with hundreds of sidequests and bonus objectives.

It has all the elements you'd expect from a game based on the franchise - violent combat, intense vehicular chases and battles and a grim world where everything that can go wrong will. Mad Max is competent at everything that it does. In that respect, at least, the videogame version of Mad Max captures the tone of the films perfectly. Intense Vehicular Combat Engage in dynamic inter-vehicular combat, taking down enemy vehicles with a range of powerful weapons.I've heard it said that the Mad Max films are less about Max as a conquering hero and more about a passive protagonist, someone who has no real control over his own fate, someone who events happen to.
