WorthPlaying Preview: Madworld
WP writes: "One part "Sin City," one part Smash TV and one part Streets of Rage, Madworld combines a striking visual style with intense violence and a simple goal: survive or die trying.
After the outbreak of a deadly virus, the citizens of Varrigan City found themselves cut off from the outside world and under a strict quarantine. Prompted by the chaos, unsavory power brokers founded "Death Watch," a new form of entertainment in which the citizens of Varrigan City fight for money, prizes and their very survival. For the contestants on Death Watch, losing is not an option.
Players enter the world of Varrigan City as Jack, an everyman who just so happens to have a chainsaw attached to his right arm. With a virtual army of bad guys in the way, it’s up to you to rip, shred, maim, impale and otherwise eliminate the opposition as efficiently and creatively as possible. Sure, you can simply survive, but remember, you’re on TV. To score the big money, you need to be as visceral as possible."
