Mad World (Wii)

[stiffarmleft]

This game looks very gory and it's a Wii exclusive.

This looks really cool.

The idea, it seems, is that you're a contestant on a bloodsport TV show, and the objective is obviously to kick ***, but to do it in a way that amounts to as much red all over the screen as possible to feed the audience's bloodlust.

But here's the thing -- though it's filled with blood and violence, MadWorld is presented in such a stylized fashion that it never results in squeamishness. Later in the demo, our hero held an enemy up against a giant spinning saw blade, shredding the baddie to bits and spewing blood all over. He also entered a minigame that consisted of hitting enemies against a giant dartboard with a baseball bat, the red blood splotches indicating accuracy. This is not the game you let Grandma try after she's gotten her fill of Wii Sports.

Quote:

The Sin City vibe is fantastic, with detailed black-and-white visuals and written action cues to further lend to the game's graphic-novel style. The upbeat music, too, perfectly sets the tone of the game -- you just want dive in and cause some bloody mayhem.

In a week of seeing many of the industry's biggest wares ahead of E3, MadWorld easily stands out as one of the most impressive. Surrounded by rehashes and titles offering predictable gameplay improvements, the game feels extremely fresh and cool. It also feels entirely void of marketing's influence -- black and white with tons of blood flies in the face of the industry's usual instincts, and it's great to see something so bold as this. This early demo cemented two things in my mind: 1) Clover's art-house spirit definitely lives on in Platinum, and 2) I cannot wait to play this freaking game.

It's also not next gen nor is it even a factor in the console war.

I want a Wii just to play this.

Eh, reminds me a lot of whatever that game was called on the Wii with the assassin and a light saber type thing. Kinda fun at first, but repetitive and boring after a while.

Now that you mention it, MadWorld does look a bit like No More Heroes. I've never played No More Heroes, but I've never been a big fan of Suda 51's games. The pedigree of the people at Platinum Games speaks for itself (Viewtiful Joe, Okami, Resident Evil 4, and Devil May Cry), so we'll see.
