Now this is my kind of Wii game :D

Quite possibly one of the best looking games of next year.

Looks like a crappier Gears of War with black and white cel-shading.

Fixed.

Haha nice one. To be honest Gears of War never really crossed my mind when I saw this. Exclusives like this and No More Heroes are what I would love to see more of on the Wii.

Can someone explain to me why this game looks so great? I'm just not seeing it.

I have no idea. Perhaps it is simply the notion of violence on the Wii that gets people so excited. I take back my earlier comment though, it looks like Manhunt with black and white cel-shading.

I don't get it either.
I'm not sure what the game is about or how you even go about killing people.

Reminds me of Manhunt.

Come on guys, where is your inner artist?
To be honest it looks more like an arcade style 3D beat 'em up.

This is why people blame violence in children on video games.  Looks like fun though.

It's made by the same guys who made Godhand, pretty much, so it'll be one of the best things ever thought of.

I find it odd that Nintendo would allow such a violent, gore-infested game on their beloved Wii, considering the direction that console is going.


But that aside: the game looks ok but I find it hard to become excited about this. The black & white makes it somewhat boring/harder to look at.

Manhunt 2 was released on the Wii last year, though it was gimped into an M rated game. I think overall when one takes a look at the bigger picture, killing Japanese (CoD5), killing gangsters (Scarface), killing convicts (Manhunt), a parody of the Running Man (Madworld) is just another avenue used to promote the Wii as being a system for everyone's tastes.

Who knows, you may walk into a room someday and see soccer mom A or grandparent B "choking a bitch" or "gutting someone" with a Wii remote, right before they feed their Petz and put a round of golf in. :P

Now that would be a fun sight. :D

Looks interesting.
I'd like to see more actual gameplay before i make a final decision.

Do you think the same thing about that movie, Sin City?

I haven't seen that movie so I don't really know how I feel about it. I have watched a trailer of it to get an idea though and it looks pretty nice.

The difference between both are:

1) Sin City uses a greyscale color palet while MadWorld uses pure black & white, making it (in my opinion) somewhat irritating to look at.

2) Sin City is a movie and MadWorld a game. I only have to sit back and look at a movie yet I have to navigate and actively interact in a game.


So in other words: it doesn't bother me in the movie but it does in this game. :)

I'm stoked for this. I'll try anything once!

The artstyle is good but as sirgin said looking too much at black and white only makes your eyes pain.

This game is going to be dripping with awesome sauce. Black, white and after killing a few baddies, red all over. It's an artistic aesthetic that somehow is completely lost on some folks. Too bad. These types of projects really deserve to do well commercially. *coughKiller7cough* It's gotten terrific preview feedback so far. This and House of the Dead Overkill are day one purchases for me.

The art style definitely looks graphic novel-ish and could very well be a great selling point.

I do wonder along with the others about one's own ability to play the game well given that there's so little color.

This is gonna be so much fun. I'm sure the colour scheme will work in the games favour, as  it stands out and navigation really isn't much of a factor for any beat 'em ups.

 :o DUUUUUUUUDE!!!!!! :o

Dude?

I thought it was quite excellent, but I expected nothing else.

It is my favourite Wii title. :)
