One of the Few Great Next-Gen Games to Date!
Let me start this review by saying that I'm a huge fan of the Mad Max movies. This includes the original Mad Max, the Road Warrior, (not so much Thunderdome) and the new Fury Road. So, for a game I'd normally probably give 4/5 stars, I'm driven to give it the full 5 stars based on my love for the series. Mad Max is a game based in a post-apocalyptic open world. It's a mix of hand to hand and vehicular combat. The hand to hand combat loosely resembles that of the Batman Arkham games, prompting you when to block and counter and utilizing various finishers that you can acquire through upgrading. However, the hand to hand combat is not nearly as polished as it is in the Batman games. You can be easily overpowered by large numbers of foes if you're not careful. Plenty of times I found myself being frustrated because I was certain I'd blocked or countered in time, but still got hit. Although Max carries a sawed-off shotgun, this is NOT a shooter. You will spend most of the time fist fighting or battling in your vehicle. Although the game is sandbox, the game encourages you to complete as many as the side missions as possible. Completing side missions provide the experience points necessary to upgrade both Max's abilities as well as your car. Upgrading early is essential unless you want to be brutally punished by much stronger foes later in the game. Upgrading is fun, particularly your car. You can customize your own vehicle by choosing an initial body style and upgrading it as you go. You can also find and collect pre-built vehicles scattered throughout the game.The game features some pretty interesting characters - pretty much what you'd expect from a Mad Max game. The voice work is well done and the game looks great. Full daytime to nighttime progression happens as well as the occasional sandstorm - of which you'd better take shelter!Now, as much as I love the game, there are certainly a couple of cons. First, some side missions can get repetitive. There are basically 4 or 5 different "types" of side missions - a lot of "go there, blow this up" type of stuff. For me, I find them fun regardless, so this being a "con" is pretty subjective. However, this a MAJOR gripe I have, and that's the glitches. Some glitches are annoying, while others are infuriating. For example, while taking shelter during a sandstorm, metal objects were able to somehow penetrate the metal shelter I was in, damaging Max. Also while in shelter, the storm seemed to swirl Max around in the shelter, contorting his body in odd ways. Those are the types of mildly annoying glitches. The one glitch that really bothered me was the autosave glitch. The game typically autosaves after every minor action, such as picking up new loot. However, I've found that, if you continue were you left off by signing into XBOX One, the autosave feature stops working. I realized this after losing about 4 hours of game play on 2 separate occasions. Not cool. Hopefully, there is a patch released soon that will fix this issue.The controls are also something that takes some getting used to. They are not mapped well in my opinion, particularly as it relates to hand to hand combat. The driving controls are just fine, but on foot is a different story.Glitches aside, this is a fantastic game. I certainly recommend picking it up.PROS - Great visuals - Good voice acting - Good upgrade system - Lots of missions/content - Good story - Decent combat systemCONS - Poorly mapped controls (on foot) - Glitchy5/5 Fanboy score; 4/5 realist score.

Fantastic Game, especially at price.
This is a really good game. Very underrated. I have played about 3-4 hours worth. So, here are PROS and CONS:PROS:The combat is very fun, both vehicular and on foot. Tons of different enemies and vehicles to face, many different upgrades for your car and max, and it never gets old. I compare it to the Batman Arkham games, but more in deph.The size of the map is big, with lots of different places to explore for parts (to upgrade your car, max, and fortress), enemy convoys to attack, minefields (use your dog to sniff them out), signal towers, snipers, oil producing facilities, gas exchanging facilities, and more. I have read that these get repetitive, but so far so good (especially for $20 dollars).Story so far is exciting. The voice acting is fantastic and I really like the other characters that help Max.Graphics are fantastic, and the atmosphere is glorious. Looking at the wasteland, it makes me very sad on the inside yet I must be on the eye for scouts and others who attempt to hurt Max.CONS:Still some noticeable glitches. They are not game breaking, but an example: I tried taking on a convoy that was way too powerful for me. My car (note: your car never "explodes", but your sidekick, Chum, who rides with you if riding the main car, fixes it at a standstill or if you are checking a place out, even at 0 car health, BUT, you must get out of car or you will burn at 0 car health) was at 0 car health and I had 5 seconds to get out. I held the Y button, rolled out, part of me touched an enemy vehicle, flung me in the air (not in a rag doll affect though is if I was hit on, I was still standing), fell to my death. That should not be happening. But, you know why that isn't gamebreaking? I probably would have still died anyway.With price included in rating: 4.75/5

Truly underated cult classic!
I loved this game the 1st time on the Xbox 360 and was keen to pick up this updated version when I came back to Xbox. Still as good as I remember. Simplistic? Yes! But plenty to do and a cult classic!

日本語非対応ですが面白いです!
無料のアイテムを英国storeから3つ落とせます。ROMと一緒に入ってる特典もちゃんと使えました!ゲームは日本語音声、日本語字幕共に非対応ですが雰囲気で楽しめますよ!映像はPS4proよりやっぱり綺麗…。修正されてない分綺麗なのかな?ps4は北米版をやりましたが比べるのが失礼な位Xbox Oneが綺麗だと思います。音声は7.1と5.1選べますが5.1の方が音質良いような?機種によりきりなんでしょうか。
