Summary

In Mad Max, the player takes on the role of titular character Mad Max; a dangerous melee fighter and can use his attacks to kill almost anyone. His weapon of choice is his shotgun. He is assisted by another man called Chumbucket. Chum mainly works with Max to build and upgrade the Magnum Opus vehicle. Mad Max will feature a variety of weapons which Max can use to defeat enemies. Though the shotgun is Max's weapon of choice, ammo is scarce, and so melee options are the smarter way to go. The 'thunderstick' is an explosive weapon that can be lanced into an enemy's chest, crackling like a lit dynamite fuse before blowing the victim to smithereens. The Harpoon is also one of Max's favorite weapon though it can only be used in-vehicle with Chum riding along. Max's Magnum Opus can be combined with a speedy V12 engine and powerful ramming ability to destroy enemies's vehicles and weaponry. When simultaneously driving and aiming, the game enters slow-motion and allows you to toggle between targets. Not much is known about the vehicular combat and its features. Mad Max will feature crafting system which can be used to craft new weapons and tools. Max's garage can also be used to change and modify the car's engines, chassis, wheels, body works including paint treatment and the “shell” of the auto-mobile and the car’s weight and attributes update accordingly. Max can also be upgraded though it's plans hasn't fully been implemented. Many choices are given in the game, such as, either playing silently or aggressively. Max can also get guidance from Chum about how he can complete his objectives strategically. However, its largely up to the player how he can complete the objectives.

    While clearly embedded in a fairly standard paradigm of open-world action, Mad Max manages to carve a unique niche for itself due to its focus on vehicular combat, and uses the deeply evocative world of its oil-obsessed desert post-apocalypse to draw the player in. The plot itself is nice and simple, as any Mad Max product ought to be, as Max finds himself at the mercy of the warlord Scabrous Scrotus. His car is destroyed but luckily for him a mad blackfinger has built a new one, the Magnum Opus, and he needs Max to pilot it. The game ties itself into the Fury Road continuity through referencing that film's villain, but otherwise the player needs no extra knowledge, and that lets the plot delve deep in the weird mysticism of the setting as well as embracing the franchise's penchant for ultra-violence. Central to the game, and a big reason why it works, is the Magnum Opus itself. The entire thing revolves around the constant cycle of upgrading it with plunder and salvage picked up as Max marauds across the wasteland. While the physical combat isn't a ton to write home about, the game roars to life when you engage in vehicular combat, allowing you outfit some brutal weapons to the Opus. Check out my full review!
