A title that showed plenty of promise prior to its release, Mad Max has all the elements to be a great RPG, but falls short on the level of immersive gameplay it delivers.
PROS
Beautiful landscapes and environments; Great driving gameplay; Interesting vehicle designs
CONS
Boring protagonist; Fighting mechanics buggy; Mini-games not immersive
VERDICT
All in all, Mad Max is a good game that has the potential to be great. The wasteland presented within has a number of elements that Avalanche Studios never fully takes advantage of, much to its detriment. While Max is a brooding character, he feels slightly boring, simply moving from task to task and showing no real growth. I also didn't feel much empathy for him, nor did I really care about his fate in the game.
