#Mad max game movie

Avalanche Studios had no experience in this field, and the bad reputation that movie tie-in games (based purely on initial perception) had meant that the odds were stacked heavily against the game’s success. After all, having a Mad Max game without cars is like eating a sandwich without bread. The big gamble during development of Mad Max was vehicular combat. George Miller (the director of the film series) was consulted during pre-production but Avalanche were mostly free to draw up their own take on Australia’s hazardous wasteland. Whilst major aspects of Mad Max: Fury Road and the rest of the series were incorporated into the game’s world, Mad Max had its own story to tell.

Truthfully, when I said the game was a movie tie-in, that was only really partly true. Mad Max was developed by Avalanche Studios, a company who had already proved their merit with enjoyable open world games such as Just Cause 2. So, as the game was also released five years ago this month, I thought it would be worth a look into one of the most underrated open world games of this generation. It’s also a post-apocalyptic game that manages to not look uglier than sin (sorry, Fallout: New Vegas). It’s an open world game that discourages fast travel. It’s a movie tie-in game that is decidedly not awful.

It’s an outlier and an oddball in so many ways. There isn’t really a game quite like Mad Max. Articles // 26th Sep 2020 - 2 years ago // By Dane Townsend Revisiting Mad Max (Five Year Anniversary)
