    has all in all become a unique game. Not only due to the special presentation but mostly because of the hilarious ironic setting and the accompanying gameplay. Read more

    • Unique, hilarious setting, Original drawing style, Gameplay and controls enjoyable, Intense
    • Short, Replaying levels can annoy, Clumsy camera

    It's easy to play and enjoy what developer Platinum Games has created, but it's impossible to overlook the numerous design flaws. Read more

    • Bosses are great, Always amusing, Superb presentation
    • Short and repetitive

    The debut title from Platinum Games was always going to be something of a talking point. After all, back when they were called Clover Studios they developed some of the most innovative and beautifully abstract games ever to... Read more

    • The satisfaction when a mere flick of the wrist sends a baddie sailing through the air.
    • You realize there’s no need for strategy whatsoever. You can die taking one approach on enemies, but still get results with the same tactic in the next life.

    If you’re 18 years or older, or go by the name McLovin, and like to play with your Wii, then by now you’ve either played MadWorld, thought about playing MadWorld, or are thoroughly disgusted by the mere existence of Read more

    I'm not sure if the game itself works as of now since it's a present for my little cousin, but I looked over the disk and saw no scratches or smudges. The case was a tad broken, but that could've been the delivery service. Read more

    From the moment you click on the disc channel you can tell what a game is going to be like. Madworld from the get go you know is going to be stylish and brutal. Read more

    • Satisfying combat, Great use of motion controls, Unique visual style
    • Could be longer, Multiplayer feels tacked on, Very little replay value

    Reviewer: Josh Komon, Helium
    11 February 2009

    All in all, "Mad World" is a halfway decent game. It does not deserve near the praise it is receiving, as the game play is lacking, and replayability is almost nil. It is a short game, and certainly worth a rent. Read more

    • Good graphics, fun, innovative
    • Can be repetitive

MadWorld

MadWorld is a video game developed by Platinum Games and published by Sega. The game features a third-person perspective, where the player controls Jack, a mechanic and former marine with a chainsaw on his arm, as he competes in a violent television show. Control is handled through the Wii Remote and Nunchuk attachment, with the Remote controlling his weapon and the Nunchuk moving Jack. MadWorld features highly stylized graphics that use a limited color palette of high contrast black and white with red blood, partially inspired by Frank Miller’s Sin City graphic novels. The game has a BBFC: 18 / ESRB: M / OFLC: MA15+ / PEGI: 18+ rating.

Features

In MADWORLD™, players assume the role of Jack, who’s caught up in the terror of Death Watch, the murderous game created by the terrorists who call themselves ‘The Organizers’. In order to remain alive and solve the mystery behind Death Watch, players must master the use of weapons and items found within the environment and compete in ultra violent mini-games designed to push them over the edge. The game features highly stylized graphics, with black and white graphics based on comic books and graphic novels; visceral arcade-style gameplay with finishing moves delivered by the Wii Remote and Nunchuk; over-the-top violence and irreverent content – exaggerated characters, murderous moves, monstrous bosses and outrageous commentary add to the irreverent and humorous tone, as well as multiplayer mini-games that allows users to compete in a variety of “party-games” that can be played hotseat against friends.
