Madworld

MadWorld for the Wii - Cover

Ok, first off, I've never been one for the Wii. The regular push-button is what I'm great at because when you swing the damn wand thing, it takes a few seconds for the system to register the motion. By that time, the enemy could have slaughtered the fuck out of you. Now that that's over, on to the review.

In a nut shell, the game is about a city overrun by terrorists who poison the people and turn the entire thing into a game show. Finally, it's legal to shove a couple of blades deep into people, get points and do it all in a sick and twisted, yet HILARIOUS manner. Everything from tearing them up with a chainsaw (which your arm so conviently turns into) to throwing them into huge exagerrated everyday objects, such as giant spikes, out of the ground, or dumpsters that cut people up from the torso and even huge ceiling fans.

The entire game has the same exact colors as your regular newspaper: black, white and red ALL OVER. Iif your stomach can't take blood, gore and funny fatalities, stay away from this game. Despite all the killing and massacre and amputating, ect., it is somewhat repetitive throughout the entire game. Sure, the killing styles and fatalities vary between each type of enemy, but if you wanna shove a guy through a spike, ass first, why not shove a steel pole through his eyes too? Or toss him into the middle of a meat grinder? Or even tear out his spine with a chainsaw? All of which you can do in this game.

It was a great game to play at first, but after a while all the noise just becomes too much. Between the music with lyrics in it, the cries of the guy you just brutally cut up, the roaring of your chainsaw and the commentators (yes, you actually get 2 people in the background commenting all of this the entire time) all going at it at the same time, you can barely concentrate on the wrist movements you have to do in order to tear the next guy a new hole. The camera view is a major problem not only because your cam stays behind you the entire time so you get a full view of the guys ass, but the enemy lock-on doesn't even work the way you want it to.

All around a great game at the end of a long day at the office when you wanna tear a guy up for no reason, but they could have at least put some color in there.

B-, not exactly the best game around, but at least good enough to work out some anger managment issues after a stressful day.
