Take any old side-scrolling beat 'em-up, blanch it black and white like Sin City, dump gallons of bright red blood on it, and make it so violent it becomes funny. Throw in well-executed use of motion controls, inventive boss battles, and satisfying kill-creativity and you've got a reason to celebrate this Wii-exclusive release.

MadWorld - hands-on
Our hands-on time leaves us covered in blood and we love it
Jan 16, 2009
MadWorld is different. It's one of the very rare super-violent, M-rated Wii games, meaning it’s not made for children or the elderly. And it's an original property on a system known for dumbed down ports and repackagings.

What’s black and white and red all over? This ultra-violent carve ’em up
Jul 07, 2008
When you’re watching a bloke getting a road sign impaled in his skull and he then staggers about with it sticking out like some grotesque piercing before he falls in a river, what’s not to laugh at?
