Deep strategy game but has aged

I remember playing both parts of M.A.X. when they came out and I still remember a lot of very tactical battles (usually I was concentrating and superior range and efficiency of rockets). What I liked most where the specialities of water, ground and air units as well as the scenario settings and different factions and their special abilities. However, now I bought it again here on GOG and played it again but after a few starts and a few minutes gameplay I stopped because the user interface and graphics is unfortunately not so pleasant that one can get immediately into it again. A polished version (graphics and user interface) with 90% identical gameplay would be nice.

Max 2

This is a classic military strategy game where choose your favorite race and develop your technology and production facilities to maximize your specific advantages. This game could have been better with a random map generator, but that is about the only reason I don't give it a 5/5.

Max is the best...Max 2 is somewhat good

Gonna be a very short review M.A.X is a strategy turn based game which in my opinion is the best at that time. You had everything. From ground, to naval to air with all kinds of craft and vehicles to choose from with each their respective roles. Choose wisely because the correct vehicle because every tank has its counterpart. So choosing a tank for example will make you vulnerable to ground attack airplane and so on. There's also 8 factions that have their own strength and weakness so you have endless replayability and that increases the strategy value as well. You also have the usual ressource management on top of that so M.A.X is not only very good...personally I think its the best. M.A.X 2 is where the shit starts. You see, they removed the unit grouping like in M.A.X. In the second installment, you can only group 8 unit maximum which makes managing a large group a huge nightmare. I think they tried to find a solution to the so called problem in M.A.X 1 where you could send millions of units in the base (personally, its not a problem if you want to annihilate it). For some reason unit grouping gets removed after some time. So this is frustrating a lot. Theres also the weird fog of war when you turn it off, it reveals all the map without the enemies on it ??? why turn it off then ? the APC has some problems as well when you have to select each unit manually, one by one, to get them inside the apc...its frustrating as well. Theres also no tutorial like in max 1. Thats why I give this a 4 out of 5 because M.A.X 2 is just not good enough. The developers didn't test it and if they did...they did a bad job. Just stick with M.A.X 1 and you'll be amazed at how an old strategy game can get you hooked. I mean, theres a tutorial in max 1, scenarios, the campaign, hot seat mode.

Best strategy game ever!

It's the most exciting multiplayer experience ever. Played it a thousand time with my friends, but it inevitably crashes when big armies start to appear. So we finally gave up... But then we found out about MAXR ( max reloaded), a max clone, multiplayer only over TCP/IP without the bugs. Learn the basics with the old max singleplayer missions etc, then play maxr with your friends. I can assure you, it 'll be the best money you ever spent on a game!

M.A.X is the Max!

Didn't see the consistent crashes one user reported. It does crash, but rarely and a simple restart and reload of the last autosaved game and you are back where you were. I have played through all levels and even ran some tests where I bottled up the computer on his island and then built an insane number of units, and it handled it all just fine. As for the game, MAX is outstandingly good. MAX2 is also quite good if you stick to good old turn based play.
