Though MAD MAX was a fun experience and I will definitely be playing a bit more to finish up the side stories, ultimately there’s no reason to replay MAD MAX once you’ve completed the game. It lingers in the middle somewhere, a suitable homage to a fictional icon. MAD MAX isn’t necessarily a direct reincarnation of a specific film and it isn’t exactly a prequel to Fury Road either. There’s surely no room for subtlety when making a game so geared towards puns and mayhem. With every line of dialogue I could almost hear a faint Beavis and Butt-head- chuckle as I was introduced to more and more characters in the game. Seuss nightmare? Facing off against characters named Scrotus, Rim Jobbie, and Cock Locka.
Was I inside some twisted post-apocalyptic Dr. I set off into the desolate wastes, my thunderpoon in hand.
GameRevolution awarded Mad Max 4 a 7/10 in our review, celebrating the “fun unlockable melee abilities,” “fun car combat,” “interesting stronghold side stories” and “interesting post-apocalyptic landmarks to explore.”
