MadWorld


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 is the definition of Grindhouse gaming, inspired as much by movie directors such as Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez as games gone by. With striking monochrome visuals spattered with gobbets of gore and enough violence to keep the tabloids in column inches for the next sixth months, it’s by far the most stylish Wii game to date. But beneath the gory facade is a staggeringly simple concept. ...
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. We recently spent some time with a near-final version and we're feeling confident it will stand out from the pack, and not just because it will be the only one dripping with blood. ...   » Read Full MadWorld preview

Someone’s been taking lessons from Evil Dead’s Ash

There’s no point in beating about the bush here – in Madworld you’ve got a chainsaw for an arm. A frickin’ chainsaw! It’s the natural evolution of the fighting genre into something so awesome that humanity will eventually end all wars just to play it – and wouldn’t that be a mad world? ...   » Read Full MadWorld preview

What’s black and white and red all over? This ultra-violent carve ’em up
Jul 7, 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? Wii has never seen anything quite like MadWorld. Only Scarface comes close for tongue-in-cheek, over-the-top violence, but not even Tony Montana gave people a rose bushing – this being repeatedly slamming someone into a wall of ...   » Read Full MadWorld preview

Creators of Resident Evil, Okami, Devil May Cry promise gore, spaceships, and angel-hunting witches
May 15, 2008
Publisher Sega just delivered the first scant details on MadWorld, Infinite Line, an unnamed game, and Bayonetta, the first four projects from new developer Platinum Games Inc. And yes, new games are announced almost every day, but this is special. Why? Because Platinum Games is made up of the men who invented cutting-edge classics like Resident Evil, Okami, Viewtiful Joe, Devil May Cry, and the mech-tacular Steel Battalion. Simply ...   » Read Full MadWorld preview
