His weapon of choice is his shotgun. He is assisted by another man called Chumbucket. Chum mainly works with Max to build and upgrade the Magnum Opus vehicle.\n\nMad Max will feature a variety of weapons which Max can use to defeat enemies. Though the shotgun is Max's weapon of choice, ammo is scarce, and so melee options are the smarter way to go. The 'thunderstick' is an explosive weapon that can be lanced into an enemy's chest, crackling like a lit dynamite fuse before blowing the victim to smithereens. The Harpoon is also one of Max's favorite weapon though it can only be used in-vehicle with Chum riding along. Max's Magnum Opus can be combined with a speedy V12 engine and powerful ramming ability to destroy enemies's vehicles and weaponry. When simultaneously driving and aiming, the game enters slow-motion and allows you to toggle between targets. Not much is known about the vehicular combat and its features.\n\nMad Max will feature crafting system which can be used to craft new weapons and tools. Max's garage can also be used to change and modify the car's engines, chassis, wheels, body works including paint treatment and the “shell” of the auto-mobile and the car’s weight and attributes update accordingly. Max can also be upgraded though it's plans hasn't fully been implemented.\n\nMany choices are given in the game, such as, either playing silently or aggressively. Max can also get guidance from Chum about how he can complete his objectives strategically. However, its largely up to the player how he can complete the objectives.","101954\u002FMad Max_Cover.webp","101954\u002FMad Max_Header.webp","2015-09-01","2024-09-14T02:04:05.082483-04:00","2026-03-27T17:38:50.012694-04:00",2552,"mad-max",true,"https:\u002F\u002Fyoutu.be\u002FQJMTTjhgBQ4",0,72.73,234140,[21,52,80,106,133,160,184,208,236,264,295,321,343,369,393,425,452,474,503,523,547,570,595,618],{"id":22,"game_id":5,"outlet_id":23,"author":24,"original_score":32,"normalized_score":33,"review_url":34,"review_date":35,"summary":36,"created_at":37,"updated_at":37,"author_id":25,"last_edited_at":37,"outlet":38},145757,150,{"id":25,"bio":26,"name":27,"avg_score":28,"outlet_id":26,"created_at":29,"profile_id":26,"updated_at":30,"claim_token":26,"article_count":31,"claimed_by_user_id":26},12408,null,"Matthew Zimmari",74.34210526315789,"2025-05-07T19:13:41.411641-04:00","2025-05-07T19:47:56.04577-04:00",44,"8",80,"https:\u002F\u002Fpress-start.com.au\u002Freviews\u002F2015\u002F09\u002F18\u002Fmad-max\u002F","2025-05-07","One of the biggest things that Avalanche Studios got right was casting an Australian as Max – a basic no-brainer, Max sounds like the character he was initially created as; tough and strong, but also isolated and with little hope.

And the rest of the cast don’t exactly suffer either; Max’s sidekick Chumbucket is frantic and insane but also full of comedic gold, and each other character in the world really adding to the post-apocalyptic madness.","2025-05-07T19:35:56.889479-04:00",{"id":23,"logo":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"tags":26,"bluesky":26,"twitter":42,"youtube":42,"facebook":43,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":44,"website_url":45,"score_format":46,"average_score":47,"default_timezone":48,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":49,"headquarters_city":26,"news_editor_email":50,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":51,"reviews_editor_email":50,"editor_in_chief_email":50,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fpress-start-logo.jpg","Press Start","press-start","pressstartau","PressStartAu","Bringing the best of gaming to Australia!","https:\u002F\u002Fpress-start.com.au\u002F","10",79,"UTC","2025-07-04T09:28:49.429906","shannon.grixti@sca.com.au","Australia",{"id":53,"game_id":5,"outlet_id":54,"author":55,"original_score":62,"normalized_score":63,"review_url":64,"review_date":65,"summary":66,"created_at":67,"updated_at":67,"author_id":56,"last_edited_at":67,"outlet":68},52617,74,{"id":56,"bio":26,"name":57,"avg_score":58,"outlet_id":26,"created_at":59,"profile_id":26,"updated_at":60,"claim_token":26,"article_count":61,"claimed_by_user_id":26},4460,"Jamie Trinca",73,"2025-01-23T12:08:28.41376-05:00","2025-01-23T12:10:50.247253-05:00",10,"7.0\u002F10",70,"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.videogamer.com\u002Freviews\u002Fmad-max-review\u002F","2021-06-05","The best summer drought game ever speeds into view at precisely the wrong time.","2025-01-23T12:09:20.191308-05:00",{"id":54,"logo":69,"name":70,"slug":71,"tags":72,"bluesky":26,"twitter":73,"youtube":74,"facebook":73,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":75,"website_url":76,"score_format":46,"average_score":54,"default_timezone":48,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":49,"headquarters_city":77,"news_editor_email":26,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":78,"reviews_editor_email":26,"editor_in_chief_email":79,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FVideogamer-logo.jpg","Videogamer","videogamer","[  \n  'corporate_owned',\n  'online_media',\n  ]","VideoGamerCom","@Videogamer_TV","News, reviews, and guides on all of the games you play.

The car combat should have been the main focus, and while battles can stretch across miles of desert, they can lack difficulty and are outdone by the melee fights.

Avalanche Studios is known for creating a series of games that are incredibly entertaining, but Mad Max doesn’t have that same kind of pull.

The sheer breadth of types of missions on offer means that a wide spectrum of tastes are catered for; from exploration, to combat, to car racing. Whilst the story may be somewhat lacking in terms of substance, the incredibly well-realised world combined with well-written characters more than makes up for it.
