The Mad Max Post-Apocalypse Special Edition is so shiny, so chrome

Contrary to popular belief, game companies sometimes don’t listen to my sage advice, such as when I suggested that Nintendo bundle some air freshener with copies of Devil’s Third, for when people realise that they had just bought excrement.

(Quick note: I clearly didn’t see the “exclusive to EB Games” bit on the image. I am an idiot, sorry guys. It’s for Australia only)

One other idea of mine that was ignored? My plans for a collector’s edition of the upcoming Mad Max game, apparently. Still, the humble limited edition that is on the way, ain’t so bad.

And that’s because its primary hook is that it comes bundled with a Blu-Ray of Mad Max: Fury Road, easily one of the best movies of the year. I LIVE! I DIE! I LIVE AGAIN!

Other than that, there’s no shoddy statue, Gas Town wrist bangle or replica shells from the Bullet form. There isn’t even an Immortan Joe breathing mask, something which I plan to build and wear for when the Mormons and Jehova’s Witnesses come a’knockin’ at my door yet again.

There’s the usual steelbook case, a fancy box, a mini-license plate and Ripper DLC. That’s it. And I have no problem with that. Some of the best special editions have come from games with smaller limited boxes to pack goodies in to. My particular favourite being the Gears Of War 3 special edition, which had a rather fetching velour box, maps, postcards and a big honking cog. That was neat.

Mad Max is out on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in September. It awaits you on the Fury Road, where we shall all ride eternal with Immortan Joe, high-octane crazy blood surging through our veins.

    That just hit this game for a six in my opinion. The movie was just as good as a Muttiah Muralitharan googly. Had no idea what to expect of it and then it bowled me straight through bat and pad. Might just pick this up now.

      I went in expecting naught but walked out flabbergasted at what has happened to me. Too bad Tom Hardy seems to be making a career of hiding behind iron masks…

        More than 80% of the movie is inside and around one truck/pick up… And it was just amazing! I can’t find the adequate words to explain how good it was for me…

          Well the game was 1 long action scene. Its an awesome movie, but I feel we missed out on so much potential story line…

      movie was awesome, if you ignored the parts where they used their words.
      everything else felt like something Mr Torgue directed, and i am well cool with that.

    Am I the only person who thought that Mad Max, while visually impressive, was a pretty average movie? I just don’t understand the hype.

      oh no, you’re not, the movie was terrible.
      i would have preferred it if the actors didnt say anything, at all. it had one of the most cringeworthy scripts and plots of all time

      but if they had left it at just explosions and wrecked steel, it probably would have been the best movie of the year.
