MadWorld: It Tries, But Not Enough for An A for Effort
(
WII

Perhaps I came into MadWorld with the wrong expectations. Although it's the first game to be released by PlatinumGames, I had hope that it would be enjoyable given the developer's pedigree. After all, many of the prominent members worked for Capcom's Clover Studio, who happened to produce several games during ...

I stand at the top of a castle, a trio of werewolves bearing down on me. As the first charges, I dodge the attack with a backflip and rev up my chainsaw, running the blade lengthwise up the creature's body. The werewolf splits in half and vibrant blood stains the ...

MadWorld is a game that I've been following for quite a while, and my general anticipation for it has been fluctuating all along. A first glance suggested that it would offer tons of style and personality, yet it remained to be seen how the gameplay would back up that initial ...

I was excited at the prospect of MadWorld because it showed the hope for a more diverse line up of games for the Wii. I have not been disappointed. I am only a few hours in, but MadWorld has been entertaining in the same way that God of War was ...

Crossposted with my site Gammatesting.com. New release Madworld for the Nintendo Wii: It’s Sin City meets The Running Man meets Escape From New York. What more do you need to know? Well, you should probably know it’s actually just kind of mediocre and occasionally dull, more like The Spirit meets ...

Its a very Mad World, in which a game show has become the talk of the town, a very bloody bloody game show which is on Channel 86. So the game begins, and you see a guy get his face beat in, then you see a badass named Jack with ...

I heard that Madworld was for the seasoned gamer like myself. What I found was a mindless beat-em up, with the same "waggle your right while moving with your left" as the majority of 3rd person over the shoulder wii games. The problem is that I'm not looking for another ...

I really wanted to love this game. The Sin City art style, the over-the-top violence, the chainsaw attached to hero Jack's arm. It came close, but it eventually felt samey, even boring.The first few levels of MadWorld are brilliant. Not because they're especially better than the later ones (there are ...

BLOOD, GORE AND VIOLENCE ON THE WII?.....

It's ...

This is Sega's attempt at trying to show how ultra violent games can appear on the Wii, if only publishers are willing to put it on that console. You will be playing a 3rd Person beat'em up game, where the object of the game is to eliminate your opponents as ...

It's always depressing walking through the Wii section at a store. Seeing dozens of games like M & M's Fucking Kart Racing Extravaganza, and a voluminous amount of low-budget games from companies we've never herd of. For the hardcore gamer like you and I who accidentally bought a Wii, ...

I picked up Madworld on a whim, on some ill-concieved notion that Nintendo needed me to support their hardcore market while they took money baths up in Washington. I had read about Madworld sure, and had read nothing but good impressions. But like No More Hereos, Madworld left me questioning ...

If you like artistic games, that have almost no story and are brawlers, well your in for a treat. MadWorld is a fun fast paced brawler that takes violence to a whole new level. It’s crazy insane and at times gruesome, but not in a bad way. It’s short, clocking ...

Red, white, and black. Those are the three colors you will see when playing MadWorld. Red being all the blood and guts you're going to spill while playing this game. No, there aren't actually guts, because this is a Wii game, and the blood doesn't look like blood at all, ...
