Madworld (Wii)

One of the most hotly-anticipated and over-hyped games for the Wii has finally arrived. For too long, it seems, we have been teased with tantalising screenshots and a constant slow-drip of information regarding this, the latest adult-oriented game for the best family game console on the market. Yes people, MadWorld is here at last; now was it all worth the wait? Oh yes. We were promised slick monochromatic graphics in a comic-strip style. Check. The game hurtles along in pure black and white, punctuated sporadically with torrents of red blood. Comic book-style captions often litter the screen, leaving the player in awe of the unusual visual style on ...  Read the complete review

Madworld is the ultra-violent brawler released by SEGA in 2009. It is a novelty on the Wii as it is one of the few 18 rated and adult orientated games on the console. Although that fact in and of itself should not be a novelty. But this is not a place for ranting over the perception of video games in today's society. Although, calling madworld a game is a fairly loose concept as well. It is more like an animated comic where you choose which panel comes next (will it be a baddie getting a baseball bat in the face or getting chainsawed in half). The influence of black and white manga, along with edgy western comics like Sin City, are obvious and intentional. The ...  Read the complete review

Well, what can I say about this game? One part sin city, one part texas chainsaw masacre and one part Carmageddon, all rolled into a black and white post-apocalyptic landscape with a strong nod towards comic book art and animation... the only words to say are WOW! I played this game with my girlfriends little brother while she went off to watch Britain's Next Top Model... I say I played it, I watched him play it and was insanely jealous that his second wii remote was broken. Anyways, I watched a very game savvy 10 year old boy rip through level after level of blood shed and unadulterated violence mixed with mad max style scenes on motorbikes. This ...  Read the complete review

Madworld is a new title just released for the wii by Sega. This title has had a lot of hype over the last 18 months about its graphic style (very Sin City) and gore content which is quite rare for the family friendly wii. I have to say the game was worth the wait and didn't disappoint. About the game : You play Jack Cayman who has a ultra cool chainsaw instead of an arm as your main weapon. And your job is to clear up a group of Terrorists called "The Organizers" who have become a target group in Variant City. The Organizers have destroyed all of the transportation and communications with the rest of the World, and ...  Read the complete review

MadWorld - Wii MadWorld is an interestingly weird game with huge amounts of blood and on the black and white background it looks spectacular. But eventually I think it becomes repetitive and boring. This is a great monochromatic style game, reminds me of sin city, with random splashes of colour to accent the gameplay, this is great and I don't fully understand why it became boring. But I will try to explain... MadWorld's main problem is its lack of depth, when you first start the game is quirky and fun, playing off stereotyped characters, conventions and themes. Its like SmashTV, Manhunt and Sin City put together. The game is stylish, gory and funny ...  Read the complete review
