Hard to believe that this is a Wii exclusive, definitely rated M for a reason. Gameplay is really fun, most of the game is about combos, but not button mashing combos, combos like slam a tire on someone, then shove a sign through his head, then throw him into something to (finally) kill him and possibly others at the same time. There is a ton of variation with the environment, amount of moves available, and eventually weapons. Lots of swearing from the commentators and soundtrack, which is rap, not sure that it fits the game, but it's not annoying. Overall, if you like Platinum Games or waggling a Wii remote, you'll enjoy this.

For about the first 10-15 hours you'll spend playing this game, Madworld is one of the most entertaining experiences on the Wii. There are few things more satisfying than using gestures to rip a man in half, or to impale someone in the head with a freakin' signpost. Keeping the mood light are the game's two "commentators" (one of whom voiced Futurama's Bender, while the other was a cast member on "Who's Line Is It Anyway), who provide absolutely hilarious - and filthy - feedback on what's happening on screen. The game is also amazing to look at. The art really emphasizes the blood, which will be splattered across the level by the time you're done. However, a bit after your first runthrough, the kills will begin to seem really repetitive, and you'll really notice how every bad guy has about three things to say (during my playtime, I must've heard "I'm gonna get you for that motherf*****r!!" screamed at me about ten or fifteen dozen times. It gets annoying fast). The game simply does not have a lot of replay value, with the slight exception of "Deathwatch Challenges", the completion of which unlocks nothing. Regardless, the game is absolutely worth the $10-15 you'll spend on ebay. There's a minor multiplayer component, but this is one of the few games thats fun for non-players to watch. Invite some friends over, relax, and have a bloody good time. Plus, feel good about supporting mature games on the Wii. Oh, also. Keep this game far, far away from children. It may warp their minds. Permanently.Read full review
At first glance, this game has been a great deal of fun. Violence to the max and very intuitive controls. I have some concern the gameplay will grow old soon. I can see myself playing this game obsessively for a few weeks, then never touching it again. But who knows... it may evolve as I dig deeper into the story. I haven't seen many used versions of this title being sold, so that is promising.
MadWorld is a cool (though not new) concept. You're in a televised death match with tons of foulmouthed thugs - which you've seen in a movie or five - with the nifty twist of being sponsored to kill them in creative ways. After playing it once through and attempting a second run, my opinion is as follows ... I love the comic style black and white hard-edged graphic work where the only color besides is lots of splashy red blood. Looks - Awesome. Camera control is a little clunky compared to another "slash the masses" game I can think of (good ol' No More Heroes!) but the feel of it once I got used to it was a little more urgent than NMH, which is a good thing. Also, the gestures that I had to do in order to destroy enemies did not have to be as big as in NMH and were therefore easier on the wrists. Controls - Less Carpal Tunnel = Good. I enjoyed the commentators for about half the game. They made me grin. The problem with catch-phrases and commentators though is that, as with all games that feature them (NCAA Football comes to mind) they will inevitably get old after a while. Until they develop AI for video games though, this is just the norm and not the fault of the game itself. I guess Nintendo was pretty smart to silence so many of it's characters from the get-go. I do wish the music library was expanded a bit because that got repetitive even before the commentators did. Worse was the run-of-the-mill spawn. I'm all for a well-placed MF'er now and then, but it failed to impact after so many rounds. Sound - Repetition in sound can make the game itself seem repetitive despite the well-conceived boss matches. No joy. All in all, if you're buying your first rated M game for the Wii I'd go with No More Heroes or Afro Samurai. Both have the same comic book art feel minus the nifty black and white of MadWorld. The replay on them is no better than that of MadWorld but they do have more depth and far less annoying audio. Taken minute by minute, this is good entertainment for $10.Read full review
This is a good game for people who want a mature game on the Wii which lacks in hat catagory. After playing this game and others on all the systems, I still remain a nintendo fan. I always thought the game cube had the weakest graphics but if you play games like eternal darkness, metriod prime, and others, I actually think the nintendo has the better graphics on all there systems. Look at Monster Hunter Tri for the Wii, graphics are amazing. Anyways, this game is sort of like Sin city the movie on in a game in a way withe black and white with colors added. For the price it's worth it.
