6:07 A top tier pause worthy moment lmao

Mad Max still has some of the best car explosions ever in any game.

It's not just you Matty, the car is meant to be a slow to respond pain to drive until you start getting the upgrades, I mean it's slapped together from junk and spare parts at first.

More and more people discover this one all the time, loved it when it came out. The car and on foot combat feels great. I remember this, sleeping dogs, prototype, singularity, wolverine origins, captain America, Alpha Protocol, The Saboteur and so many other “mid tier games” that are some of my favorites to revisit.

It's an underrated gem this one, i feel like it doesn't get enough love honestly

Mad Max with the Nemesis system and the lore and locations in the game. My god that would be tight

I did a whole playthrough of this game on PC last year. It can be repetitive I get that, but it was a game where I could just turn off my brain, play it and have fun, I really enjoyed it.

One of those games that really stuck with me the last generation. I may be in the minority but this is in my top 10 of favorite games. I think the world is what really sold this game for me. It's desolate and pretty barren, but it felt incredibly immersive, and when you did find a point of interest, it just felt that much cooler. Paired with engaging car combat and driving physics that actually felt good, I highly recommend this game for anyone that has an interest in open world games. Also I'd recommend Rage 2, which a lot of the same developers from Mad Max worked on that game. A bit of a spiritual successor.

The way this game does collectibles is so good cuz it feeds into the upgrade system, just like Far Cry 3 did and Far Cry 4 perfected, the collectathon is for upgrading your existing gear not just for the sake of it, and you are not being showered in non unique random *replacement* gear. Far Cry 4 did it the best imo where you had to get the skins of animals you hunt, habitats being restricted by area which improves the pacing of the game, and then when you get the second to best level of "ammo pouches" you get a quest to hunt like the "white rhinoceros" to get the last upgrade for your ammo pouches. I really prefer this system to just collecting journal pages 1/140

I'm a big Mad Max fan and bought this at launch. Great game! Played through it again at the end of last year on Series X. Still great!

I actually love this game! The overall presentation was loud and awesome, the car combat was one of my favourite parts of it!! Might just boot it back up again after watching this! 😁

I randomly played this because it was a ps+ game. Loved it way more than I expected

bro ive been beating this game every couple of weeks for years, ill never stop playing it

I still find it weird that WB was able to patent the Nemesis system

So funny I added this game to my wishlist. Got a notification that the game was on sale and got it. So funny you mentioned the early game driving because I am literally having the same problem. Great review!

When I played this game for the first time, I was so surprised by how underrated it was. I had an absolute blast with it! The car combat is so cool and works well in this game, especially during those crazy storms in the wasteland! In my opinion, it's one of the best movie-based games.

This is one of may favourite games

Redownloading it, playing it again for the 3rd time

Excellent video, and great introspection into your own growth - and the industry’s era

i hope george miller and avalanche studio make a mad max game someday together!

How ironic that I was playing this last night after watching Furiosa. You drop a video on the gand

Just started playing this again after almost a decade….it is a blast!

Totally agree. I did the exact same, i played a few hours at release and wrote it off as another bloathed open world collectathon. But going back recently i missed out on an utter gem, incredibly addictive game loop once you get into it.

I been playing this too! I remember starting with scrap metal and my car is soooo good now it’s great just to jump in

I mentioned that you do a review for this game like a month or 2 ago and I am so glad you are doing it! This was my wife's first game that she beat and loved it to death. A highly underrated game that either needs a reboot or another entry.

Just recently replayed this game. Personally hoping they make a sequel one day! Love your stuff man! Been watching for years!

I purchased this game 3 days ago on my Xbox for a lil' less than 5 bucks - money super well spent i gotta say and man does it still look graphically neat, given it's nearly 9 and a half years old. 👌🏼

Love this game. Good vid man

4:03 That's such a weird way to say that. Mad Max came out first and inspired Fallout, but the way it's said in the video makes it sound like the opposite.

I had it in my library for a long time and after seeing Furiosa i decided to download it and start playing it. Now I can’t stop. Such a fun game and so addictive.

This is seriously one of my favourite games, and with the new talk of a sequel I am super excited

Im so glad more people are going back to this game :) it was a really entertaining and fun hidden gem

Well said. I play this gem at least once a year ton completion. The car combat, fighting style, environment and overall feel of the game just hits different

I enjoy the hell out of this game and come back and play it again about every year or so. I love it, gonna start another play of it.

Mad Max is quite focused around punching and driving, but the attention to detail surrounding those simple elements is masterfully crafted.Great art design can trump great graphics, Mad Max has both!

Well, I just started playing it for the first time yesterday and then this video ended up in my recommended. Three missions in and I am hooked, despite not being a big fan of open world games.

This game is an underrated gem! I played it 2/3 years ago and loved it all the way.

Just bought the game. I met some thirsty wretches in the desert, wanted to give them some water. As soon as the first drop touched the guy's lips, two cars (one of them packed with explosives) came outa nowhere and decided to ram into us head on. The cars ran over the wretches and both exploded, also killing the drivers. I was completely unscathed, surrounded by 5 corpses and 2 blazing wrecks. That was THE MOST Mad Max thing I have ever seen in my life.

Fantastic game with the main storyline and locations in it from furious too even when completed can do activities from the movies like helping people, scouting camps and convoy attacks

Finally loaded this game up in 2024 one more time...and it finally hooked me. 60fps on Series X was a nice surprise too.

Thanks for reminding me of this game. I really like it. Have not finish it

I thank you for making this channel you are a cool nice person

I'm happy you shouted out Mafia III, Matty! The game was lacking in areas but I thought it was good!

Definitely a hidden gem. I'd love to see a 2nd one eventually

I'm glad we can go back and look at these games from the 2010s and have an honest overview of them, see what works and what doesn't.

Bruh when you said a decade old my heart sank 😂

It's one of my faves, I wish they'd make another one, so much can be done with the lore.

Idk if you ever played or did a video on rage 1 and 2 but I think you’d be interested in those games

One of the best games ever made. This was to the ps4/x1 generation what Red Faction Guerilla was to the ps3/360. I loved this game and still have the preorder poster on my wall.

I got up to Road Warrior with the maxed out interceptor. Such a cool experience

The sound design is awesome loved this game back then..gonna replay right now! 🎉😅

At this point id love to see ANY game implement the nemesis system! It was such a brilliant means of crafting unique in game mini stories, they patented it and its been shelved ever since. For those interested i believe Mad Max is $5 in the PS store. Much love Matty!

Been playing it again recently. Had it on my ps4 and recently upgraded to a series s and when I saw the game on sale for 5 dollars I instantly bought it. The fps boost to 60 makes it even more fun than before.

Will pick this back up after finishing Automata, never finished it my first round. After watching Road Warrior and Fury Road im in the mood for some car war!

Every May i pop it in for a month or two after completion years ago, i love it.

Been playing through this one for the first time in the past month. Really damn good, if i say so myself!

Loved the game actually picked it back up before going to see furiosa it’s cool that the main villain from the game is in furiosa

Ima have to pick it up now! Didn't even know this was a game!

I thoroughly enjoyed my time playing Mad Max, and I would recommend playing it with some old school 80's and 90's Thrash Metal in the background.

Bro I freaking love this game and I’m only 45 minutes in. Just feels so unique bro

Played through this during the pandemic. A damn good time.

such a good game played it when it first dropped on PS4 and now im replying again on PC .. its a gem such a underated game

Playing this for the first time and having a blast

Got this game for £3 on a sale a little while ago, one of my best game purchases its so underrated

I loved this game when it came out and agree that everyone should at least try it for the visceral combat alone. It's usually on sale for less than $5 on pc and well worth picking up.

I remember playing mad max on game pass like 5-6 years ago and I loved . but it got taken off game pass before I could beat it and I was sad but then forgot about it . I should check it out again

I recently went back to platinum this game. What a day! What lovely day!

One of my favorite games. It made me a Mad Max fan

I played this so much after getting it on ps+ ages ago. I never advanced much on the story lol I burned myself out clearing out map objectives and just roaming around. I even had a butt rock playlist I had while playing lmao

Great game. Excellent Photo Mode too. For a game set in endless rock and sand, its a real looker. I'd love a sequel.

It’s an incredible game, great to see the Easter eggs in the new movie as well, Scroutus and Chum bucket, scroutus should be a lot bigger but still good to see that character in Furisoa.

I found your Chanel while riding the fallout 4 hype train in 2015💀 dawg you have come so unbelievably far lmao

It’s absolutely criminal that more people haven’t played this game. And the graphics still hold up to this day.

I’m loving the traction this game has been getting lately.

"Name a better punch" Matty I BEG you please do a retro rebound on The Warriors. No game has come close to having the same level of brutal combat that we had in the wonderful gem of a game

My fav avalanche studios game. Need a sequel or I'd love to see them do a Waterworld game

They nailed the feeling of this it’s closer to the films almost mad max 3 !! The film we wanted to get

Now I want to play Mad Max, Shadows of Mordor and Mafia 3😂thanks Matty😊

This was on sale for Xbox at the same time Furiosa came out. Playing it for the first time I'm kicking myself for not playing it sooner.

I don’t think I own a game that I replay through as much as I have this one over the years

I just started this today on XsX. I’m enjoying it and it looks decent with 120fps w/ Auto HDR. Chumbucket!

Played so much of this!

great video

It is a shame the game doesn't have a ng+ mode, taking down convoys while listening to the fury road ost was something else man

I got it a few days ago because it was on sale and I'm honestly really enjoying it

Hell this is one awesome game. I love riding aroind for hours and shooting everything that moves. Collecting scap never felt so good.

I bought this game a long time ago, and never really played it. Was thinking of trying it out with Furiosa out now

This is my personal favorite and best game from the PS4/Xone generation.

There's an Easter egg for "Shadow Of The Colossus" in the game too. Nice & enthusiastic re-review. :)

This is a great game! The only thing I need to do is finish the races and I should be able to 100% the game

After watching the new movie!! I had to come back to this gem

Yo I've been trying to play mad max as I just bought it but it won't launch and nothing I've found online helps anyone got any suggestions?

It’s fantastic, it turn out better than I thought 😎👍

Another game with amazing free flow combat that I love is Sleeping Dogs. Such an underrated game as well with a pretty decent story as well, but the combat in Sleeping Dogs reminds me of the combat in Mad Max which is awesome as well

I also just restarted it immediately after watching Furiosa lmao. Such a great AA game.

Hey Matty, loving the retrospective reviews. You're by far my favourite youtuber right now, keep up the great work! I've been meaning to play this game on steam deck soon!

I’ve been playing this game off and on for I don’t know how many years I know I have well over 250+ hours. There are just some games out there that are like me unique to people like who sings that these games deserve more credit know personally i’m still playing the original prototype that was released in 2009 and it still holds up despite there being a very doll storyline it’s the combat and the gameplay that keeps few of us gamers still engaged.

If it wasn't for all the achievements no longer achievable...I would definitely try this out

I just beat the game 100% today, really enjoyed it.

An amazing game from start to finish
