Max finds out the car has been demolished. Then Max is attacked, the car is taken, and he's left for dead. So in the beginning, Max is driving through the wasteland, in a car called 'Black on Black'. In addition, his motivations are so muddled that they often make no sense. But the soul of Max Max was not translated. They call Max a 'Raggedy Man' and they fight in a dome where 'two enter and one leaves'. There's references to all three (pre- Fury Road) within the game. When you play Mad Max, you get a sense that the developers know about the previous films, but have never really seen them. That, and the motion capture is so clean it's almost video. But it offers us opportunities in gaming that have never been seen before. People will complain that Until Dawn is too short, and it is. The studios behind Lost, Star Trek, and half a dozen others should be called out for the atrocities they unleashed upon paying customers. But WBI is not alone in its treatment of licenses. Batman Arkham Origins was so terrible in just about every aspect that control of the series was given back to Rocksteady. In fact, this is not the first time that Warner Bros Interactive has created a sin against licensed material.
First, licensed games are never treated with the same reverence that original titles receive. So why didn't any of that translate to a game? Well, there's a number of reasons for that.
For people that knew nothing about Max, it was a great film. Fury Road did fantastic at the box office, giving audience a wonderful continuation/reboot of the series. If you would have told someone in February that this game would be considered 'good enough' they'd have thought you were crazy. The general consensus seems to be 'good enough'. There's a lot of reviews of Mad Max across the internet, some good, and some bad. Though, for a game that's supposed to have over 100 hours of play time, it's terrible.
Now, that's not 100% total game completion, just story. The problem here is that in those couple days, I was able to beat the story mission, 100%. I just took the game back not that long ago. Thankfully, my friendly neighborhood redbox happened to have a copy. Everyone I knew thought releasing the two games on the same day was death for one, and we all know which one. Yet, I really wanted to see what all the non-hype in regards to Mad Max was all about. I decided to put my money into Phantom Pain, as I'm assuming it's going to be the biggest game of 2015. However, the overall problem is much more evident now. Well, Avalanche has done some work since then, and the controls for driving seem much better.
