In 2015, with the release of the classic movie "Mad Max", its eponymous game also followed a few months later. However, the game was not as popular as the movie, not only was there little discussion among players, but it was also very dismal commercially. That being said, it's not a bad work.,It's a buried masterpiece.。
"Mad Max" can be regarded as an untimely work, but it appeared on the same day as "Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain", which I believe will have an impact on the game's sales to a greater or lesser extent. However, insiders clearly understand that "Mad Max" and "Phantom Pain" are completely different types of gameplay, and the objects of appeal are also different, one is the secret agent infiltrating the operation, and the other is a violent racing bloody fight, although they are both open world works with a high degree of freedom, but the tastes of players are completely different.
Because of the skyrocketing evaluation of the movie version, many movie fans and players must also have high expectations for the game, but they are worried that this game will become a thunderbolt like other movie adaptations. But in fact, there is a certain difference between the movie version and the game, just like the Dark Knight is to Arkham series.
This game uses an original story, and the portrait and voice acting of the main character are completely tailored instead of using actor Tom Hardy. In addition, the production team has worked on "Just Defense 2" in the past, which is amazingly destructive, so their style is very suitable for presenting "Mad Max".
It is worth mentioning that "Mad Max" has a built-in and built-in camera system, and this photo system is very complete and powerful. As long as you press pause at a certain moment during the game, you can freely rotate the angle, lens, focus, adjust filters, borders, and add special effects such as logos. You can DIY and shoot the same dreamlike composition as in the movie version, when the protagonist is backed by a V8 Interceptor vehicle and looking into the desert.
Beastly assembled cars and the fight and violence between strong men and men are one of the themes of "Mad Max", and survival is another topic, the worldview is constructed in a corrupt environment with poor resources, water and oil are precious resources, and because of the mutation of radiation, healthy women are even more rare. And in order to compete for resources, people use vehicles and speed to decide the winner.
All of the above are faithfully presented in the game, so to speak, I believe most men must be interested in cars, then "Mad Max" is a work that focuses on vehicles killing each other to death, in the game you often have to race with a group of crazy teams, step on the accelerator and rush all the way, and you also need to use double-barreled shotguns, torpedoes, and hooks to dismantle each other's cars in the process, full of dynamics, and pay great attention to the players' racing skills and combat methods.
Because it is the same as the hot-blooded scoundrel, it is a work that emphasizes hand-to-hand combat, so "Mad Max" is also very well made in this part, such as the use of fast and slow motion in the fight, grabbing the enemy and throwing the enemy after the fury, and neat counterattack skills, all of which are extremely painful, and every punch hits every nerve of the enemy.
However, I personally think that the fights in "Mad Max" are just very direct and violent, but the action is relatively monotonous, and most of them are joint breaking of the enemy. The lack of ornate martial arts choreography such as the Son of Rome in contemporaneous works has led to a bit of getting tired of playing for a long time.
If you are a player with obsessive-compulsive disorder and every game wants to achieve 100% collection elements, then Mad Max has to take your time to explore, because you have to weaken the enemy forces in several territories, collect scrap to remodel, build cars, ride a hot air balloon to observe the surrounding environment, although the main story is relatively short, but with the addition of side plots and a lot of elements, you can ensure that the game hours can reach more than 50 hours.
In fact, Mad Max is a very tiring game to play, it is not easy to say, and it is not too difficult to say, but I believe that the game will be difficult for players to get started because it is built in a world with a lack of ammo resources, because you have to fight against a lot of vehicles alone, and if you are not careful, you will crash the car.
Of course, if you find it difficult to defeat the enemy at a certain stage of the game, it is to spend more time collecting scrap, upgrading the car and the protagonist's abilities, and then it will be easier. All in all, Mad Max is a game that fits the open-world title very well, and it's not very innovative, but it's still up to par in every way, and it's worth playing for those who love action games.
