Madworld IGN UK Review: "incredibly visceral experience"

IGN UK Writes: " Two things strike you very quickly about MadWorld. Firstly, it makes SEGA's recent The House of the Dead: Overkill look like a tea party in a nunnery. Secondly, it's one of the most visually arresting games ever devised. These things combined, anyone in an approximate 500-metre radius is near-powerless to stop what they're doing and gawp. Gawp until their eyes are dry and their tongue cracked. Shortly thereafter, they'll probably either call the police or attempt to have sex with the television."

IGN gave it 9/10

Why is IGN the only place with reviews of this game today? Is it an exclusivity thing or is the game just not getting much press?

[Chubear]

It's just business. Give you exclusive first dibs of reviewing this anticipated mature wii title and you give it very high ratings.

If you thumb me down for what I just stated then you're incredibly naive thus the reason PR groups do this exact thing of manipulating the gaming community via gaming sites, cause they know the greater part of the gaming community look at these gaming sites as gods and whatever they say, goes.

[BRG9000]

Right, though I do trust IGN's integrity, exclusive deals with the publisher always cast a shadow of doubt on reviews. I'll be interested to see what others say.

Still, after watching IGN's video review it's hard to deny that the game looks very, very fun.

Wow.I expected IGN UK to give it a low 8.They are usually more harsh than the US IGN.Either way the IGN branches have high praise for this game.

Sega and Platinum Games FTW

[swiftshot93]

you are thinking of IGN AU

[Blink_44]

8.9 why not just give it a 9?

[Bnet343]

Because to IGN a tenth of a point actually matters.

[pwnsause]

time to play some wii.

[green]

Hmmm is it time to reconsider getting a wii?Anyway,Madworld looks unbelievably cool.

[mastiffchild]

I'm as keen to have a go at the cartoon voilence fewst of Madworld as anybody right now-a game, like NMH, that's in love with being a video game is always refreshing to see.
I'm calling the score a nine(my mental meta critic does this a lot!)and for a game with such a limited premise but heaps of dayglow(ironic given the monochrome art)'tude it's a great score and I do, at least, take most of what the guys at IGN say pretty seriously as I find an honest love of gaming at all their regionals!
Can bet on it being both a hoot and a quality pace change for Wii owners and multi consoleers alike-cannot wait. Now issue FF4 in the west and I'll be tided over til the unavoidable Conduit backlash of early june(wont stop it doing for Wii online shooters what Halo did for xbox and COD4 for the PS360 gen though).
Quality title taking itself with a pinch of blood drenched salt-brilliant and lets hope the other decent s ites share the joy.Good good times coming gor ganers of every hue!

i wanna get a wii again for this game but it just not worth it right now just for one game hopefull it comes out on PS3, 360, or PC but i know that not likley

[NateDPG]

Making this game probably went like this:

"Let's do something different, soemthing that really stands out"

"Let's make it black and white with red blood"

"..."

"FANTASTIC!!!"

[BRG9000]

I can't tell if you're pro- or anti-Mad World. And this is N4G, you can't possibly be neutral.

[Timesplitter14]

Yeah well they kinda copied Sin City, you know

[ChickeyCantor]

Time,
Its not a "copy" its called inspired by.
If we look back at games, likely 90% is a "copy" than.

[solidjun5]

I'm very interested in this game now. I trust IGN and I think I'm hyped about this game. Time to finally dust off my wii...err...that doesn't sound right. Anyway, great score. ^_^

[Timesplitter14]

Looks great

[Whoooop]

Sega is going all out this gen...

EDIT: lol... never mind

[Danja]

next up the Condult...

[Marceles]

[lizard81288]
