I enjoyed careening around the desert, shooting and punching humanity's worse elements and pimping my rusty ride. Mix that all together, and you probably have a good idea about what to expect from Mad Max, a game that trades Just Cause's sprawling islands for a desert wasteland and adopts a modified version of Batman's combat to hurl against bloodthirsty post-apocalyptic madmen. And it takes place in a post-apocalyptic world filled with human beings gone, well, mad, which is intriguing in video games and movies alike. Interactive Entertainment, which has shepherded commercial and critical successes like the Batman Arkham series and Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordorin recent years.
It's being built under the auspices of Warner Bros. Mad Max is an open-world game from the developers behind a standout of the genre, Just Cause 2. My hands-on at Gamescom was a chance to see if my guesses were right. I wanted to play in this game's literal sandbox.
I was never huge into the franchise, but these last two years convinced me that I'd been missing out. Watching George Miller's stunning Mad Max: Fury Road this year only made me more excited. As I read and watched more about it, I got a sense of what the final game would be, and I liked what I saw. I've been reading about Mad Max since Avalanche unveiled the game at Sony's E3 press conference two years ago, and I can't recall anything that's happened since putting a damper on my interest. The only problem was that I devoured too much too fast, and some of the sweetness soured my stomach. Avalanche Studios' Mad Max is the least surprising game I played at Gamescom 2015, and after a long week on the other side of the world, I was happy for a bit of interactive comfort food.
