Nintendo Power's MadWorld review is in

Were you wondering what the gang over at Nintendo Power had to say about MadWorld? Well, the latest issue of Nintendo Power does indeed come with a review score for Platinum Games' Wii opus. While I can't give you a summary of the review just yet, I can tell you what you all are looking to find out. The game ends up pulling a 9 out of 10, a score that Jack is sure to be happy with.

My eyes will hurt 5 minutes of playing this game.

Don't play =)

If that were the case one of the many sites that actually played it would have said something already.
Some people just want to hate. He couldnt even play it if he wanted to because he doesnt own a Wii anyway. An entire generation grew up with Black and white yet now we are supose to think its something painful to look at? Some people are jsut so young and uninformed they just cant see how pathetic their excuses look

Hopefully this isn't the only 9 MadWorld gets.

I'm prepared for the 4/10 rating from Edge, and I will laugh when it happens.

oh edge.

6 days away and first review out the gate is a 9 out of 10, this is good. Cannot wait for this game, first House of the Dead, now Madworld, my Wii is finally getting some good playtime.

guess I should go reserve it at EB,( but it's cold outside =/

This game makes up for the awful taste in my mouth that is Sonic & the Black Knight.

Excellent point, I played TC:NB and that game is very good (hard as hell). People usually write off nintendo power's reviews for being biased, but I actually find they are usually more spot on than IGN's.

[Voiceofreason]

I'm really not sure what to think of the IGN Sonic review. I thought it was pretty obvious that the game was not a 2D platformer, yet they acted shocked and really hated the game for not being a core Sonic game. Well what about the Sonic RPG a few months back? It wasnt traditional Sonic and they didnt hate on it. I guess I need to get the 3 that are out and try them. Been a long time since I played Sonic.

Actually there was already a review out for Madworld from some German site where the game is not even being released. They gave it a pretty low score. Think it was around 5 or 6. Doesnt really matter to me what score it gets from any site. NMH got a lot of hate but its still my top Wii game.

[Gr81]

TBH, I could careless for all of IGN's reviews really, I feel they are somewhat manipulated. I mean GTA4 a 10? Really? I think their review system is so broken and I feel they are mad that they are not the be all end all when it comes to game reviews. They hated Mario Party 8 and Carnival games yet both sold multi millions of copies.

I was at the Comic Con in NYC and I saw Black Knight, it looked real good graphically and seemed pretty fun for what it is. I mean they gave the secret rings a 6? or so, and that was one of the better Sonic games (3d)I thought NMH deserved a higher score also (8.5 in my opinion)

Which brings me to my reall point, which is reviews are all just opinions anyway. Many of which are swayed, remember ubisoft's Assasin's creed stipulation? or Kane and Lynch debacle, or even MGS4's "don't tell em how long the cut scenes or install is"

[BRG9000]

Selling a lot of copies does not make a game good. I have Mario Party 8. It isn't great. And I don't think anyone here is arguing that Carnival Games is worth a buy.

And of course reviews are just opinion. They are editorial by definition. If you go to one looking for anything else you are going to be disappointed.

"Actually there was already a review out for Madworld from some German site where the game is not even being released. They gave it a pretty low score."

Unless you're talking about a different German reviewing source that already reviewed the game, they gave it an 81.

As for the whole IGN thing, I don't really put much stock in reviews as it is, but IGN gave what I consider to be the PS2's best game a 3 and the worst a 9.7, so I don't trust anything they say to coincide with my tastes, as they are the hacks to end all hacks.

[Gr81]

I'm not arguing Mario Party or Carnival games are fantastic games. I'm saying that Reviewers today are out of touch with the general public who think those games are good. The only "10" I'd give out this gen so far is Wii Sports. Look what it does, it allows anyone to be able to play it and there is depth for those who want to find it.
