Not arguing about validity of that particular score, but seriously, I used to love that site.

My copy of Mad Max from Best Buy rang out at 39.99 plus tax (bundle) instead of my GCU price of 47.99 plus tax. I purchased this and the movie on the same receipt so it must be giving a greater bundle discount. Alright with me.

Re: Mad Max
I hope this game does well and about every trailer of in-game footage looks good. I can see the single player aspect but this game would be a blast if there was some "Horde" type mode where 2-3 Mad Max characters could defend an outpost, platform or depot of some kind much like in the Mad Max 2 movie. hope to see and hear more on this....may end up being another sleeper hit like Shadow of Mordor.

I picked it up and only played for about an hour so far. Enjoying what i have played though and no regrets so far. Gonna be a fun Labor Day weekend between this and Phantom Pain.

Re: Mad Max
This looks like one movie tie-in game that is worth its price tag. Adding to my must-play list.

I played it for an hour or two. Pretty fun so far.
They could have done a better job with the button mapping. Making the same button for "Drop Down" and "Fire your incredibly rare shotgun ammo at nothing in particular"? Not the brightest decision.

I've got 9-10 hours in and love it. The only problem is that you could be having a car battle and they just disappear. Sucks when you spend a couple of minutes ramming them for scraps to have them just go bye, bye. The map is pretty damn massive and detailed.

Re: Mad Max
The game is somewhat repetitive but also addicting. You knock down scarecrows, take out snipers, search a bunch of little sites/camps for scraps, take down various camps, tackle caravans of 6 vehicles (maybe more), run races, search for water, upgrade Max and his vehicle(s) and do the story missions. Using the harpoon from a vehicle on other vehicles or people is bad ass. I'm around 25% finished as well with about 12-13 hours played. There is a lot of little stuff to do to get the platinum. It will be a bit of a pain in the ass but someone has already Platted it. Go figure!
Also, the storms that happen in the game are probably one of the most intense things I have ever seen in a game.

Re: Mad Max
Also, has had a few WOW moments that really have to be experienced...and probably one of the, if not the, greatest cinema to actual gameplay transitions I have ever seen. I knew it was coming, and it was so smooth and so well done it still blew me away..

The game may feel like Borderlands in certain parts, but never when driving. The driving in this game is MUCH faster and MUCH better.
