The Mad Max video game is - no exaggeration - one of the greatest video games I have ever played, and has quickly become one of my all-time favorites. I have been playing video games as long as I can remember, and I was born in 1990. In my opinion, this game perfectly simulates being Max Rockatansky. The element of survival is integrated to the point that having a survivalist mindset when you play will actually assist you in-game. It's often proper to play better-safe-than-sorry. There are those who want your help, but you provide it at your own peril. An example: you may come across people slowly walking the wastelands, begging for water. You can give this to them from your canteen, to save them, though you gain no immediate or obvious reward. The trade-off: the water you give away is the primary means of recovering your health, and it's not easy to come by. It's hard to be the hero, especially in the shoes of Max, who is not a "people person". The game is so engrossing, though, that you actually feel good for saving these people, as opposed to watching them collapse from thirst. That's your choice to make. Other times you just don't have the means to help. I've come across these groups before, and not had the water for them. I frantically scoured the nearby camps for water sources, in futility, only to come back and see them crawling in the sand, before finally dying off. As a SERIOUS Mad Max fan, it is my resolute opinion that this game is the PERFECT tie-in to one of the greatest action movie series of all time, and a welcome addition to the mechanized madness that is the Mad Max legacy.
