Sep 10, 2011one of the greatest video games ever made. Fantastic plot, fantastic amount of violence and gore, fantastic comedy and graphics, and some of the greatest gameplay and weapons in one game and one of Sega's greatest games

Apr 10, 2022Someone said that nintendo consoles had no cool, brutal and violent games? Who is this idiot, huh?
Okay, now serious. Madworld is a game to buy Wii for. Also this is the best Platinum Games, kham, game how I think. -
Apr 27, 2012And Ps3 and 360 fanboys say "the Wii has no violent games." This game right here DESTORYS all arguments out of the water.

Dec 24, 2011The games Mad World and Sonic Colors are the best game in the console so far, don't give Mario and Zelda **** WANT MAD WORLD DICK HEADS!
The music is really good, the combat mode is just EPIC, the story is good.
If you want to play a good game a the worst console of the 7th generation play this game! -

DejuanB.Mar 15, 2009The gore is simply a sight to behold. The most violently amusing game I have very played, and its on the Wii! A must buy for those who have a Wii and complain that its not a system for the hardcore population. This game proves you wrong.

FozzyUApr 7, 2009Simply put, this game will sell more Wii's. It's given me a reason to play my Wii again. It's Wii's answer to God of War (but more stylized and a more techno-punk theme than ancient greek). The attitude for this game is all there.

nickbAug 1, 2009Great graphics, great gameplay, good story and it will last you a fair while. One of the best looking and most imaginative games on the wii. The multiplayer feels a bit tagged on, if that was good it would have been 10. Here's hoping for a Madworld 2

PrestonDMar 15, 2009To put it simply, Madworld is the first Triple A title for the Wii this year, and a must have to anyone who owns the console. Sure the game is short, but with an amazingly well crafted storyline, drop dead gorgeous visuals, and addictive over the top gameplay, this game is sure to be on my Game of the Year list. Oh, and go buy this game, because we need more like this!!!

adamd.Mar 20, 2009great game, a little short, but no matter, it's a blast from start to finish and the writing is suprisingly good for the type of game it's in. the controls are comfortable and responsive and the gameplay is smooth. the art style is superb and suprisingly easy on the eyes. definitely worth at least a rental.

TimSomething.Apr 28, 2009Do you want brutal yet hilariously over-the-top violence? Check. Do you want the best voice-over-commentary ever? Check. Do You want to laugh whilst blowing apart thugs in a creative and overall hilarious fashion? Check. MadWorld is a styalized, hilariously violent Beat-em-up with its own sadistic style of humor...So what are you waiting for? Buy it already!

natesMar 11, 2009This is by far one of the most unique and creative games to hit the war. The game has a fresh and distinct look to it and very addictive gameplay. The camera lacks a bit and the campaign runs short but there is a lot of replayability. If we want hardcore games to continue like this to come out for the wii then go buy it now!!!!!

RonWMar 12, 2009Madworld is one of the most stylistic games on the Wii. The controls really work well for the game and I think it is more fun on the Wii than it would be with a standard controller. The dialogue is over the top, and the music is great. If you want more games to come out like this then support Platinum Games an buy it!!!

StevenBMar 12, 2009This game was a lot of fun. The story was a little short (took me and a friend 7 hours to beat it - including dying), but we both loved every minute of it. The actual story is pretty deep for a game like this, and the best parts of the game include the dialogue, funny kills, and the commentary!! This game is a must buy (or at least rent) ... it is easily on my top 5 games on the Wii list.

EliasDMar 15, 2009One of the best Wii games to date and an amazing old-school beat 'em up reminiscent of Streets of Rage but with an incredible amount of style and violence so over-the-top that its laugh-out-loud hysterical.
-
-
AnonymousMCMar 19, 2009Absolutely amazing. If you have the stomach for crude humor, swearing, philosophy, screaming, buckets of blood, and the most foul, brutal, cruel violence ever to grace the video game screen, you must play this game. It may have only lasted six hours, but it was well worth the $50. Quite possibly, no, probably the best game in its genre

Aug 23, 2010Very easy to love, though while technically flawed it features some astonishing and unique visuals. It's not as fluid and perfect as its grpahics, but that wuld make one of the best games of all time. Madworld isn't one of the best agme ever though, but is a very good Wii game, and anyone finding a need for brutal violence hould buy this, it's a funny, fun and ultra gory piece of flawed genius.

Sep 29, 2010This is the most violently over-the-top game I have played yet. If you think Grand Theft Auto and Gears of War is known for its high level of violence, this game just completely makes them look like its child's play. Though the camera is very annoying, it makes up for its intuitive Wii controls, hilarious characters and utter glorious gore. Buy it!

Jan 26, 2015Original and clever at times, should check out if you own Wii or Wii U.
Pros:
+ Over the top violence
+ fun art style
+ kill combos really enjoyable
+ humor
+ fun mini games
Cons:
- multiplayer (and lack thereof)
- camera
- black and white takes getting used to
- violent humor not for some -
Dec 19, 2018Another good use of the Nintendo Wii controls with this great and fun gameplay. Graphics has taken advantage of the low power of the console and managing to be something attractive. With a generic story and cliches, but manages to capture your attention for some twists in the plot. A very replayable, fun and fresh.

Jan 13, 2022So stupid that is smart, so simple that is complex. This game is everything I love about video games, the only thing I regret is haven't been playing it before.
-
Apr 23, 2020The game is very fun easy to play. The gameplay is great and super gory. The story is short but also interesting.
-
Jul 28, 2020amazing game, amazing soundtrack and concept. overall a fun game that is very unique for the time. would love to see a remaster of this i think it would be amazing
-
Oct 5, 2022I've only played it once and the game is amazing and fun. There are no colors but I think this was on purpose to make the blood stand out more
-
Feb 12, 2023I used to think the Wii was nothing more than a Flingsmash and/or Donkey Kong Barrel Blast player.
Not anymore -

I realize that not everybody will find MadWorld's unique visual and aural presentation appealing, but to me, the game is an instant collector's item and a Wii showpiece, not just for its amazing style, but for its label-busting content.

Nintendo PowerAlthough the game is unquestionably brutal, the violence is so over-the-top that it's more humorous than gruesome...For any hardcore gamer, this one is not to be missed. [Apr 2009, p.82]

Brutality, tons of blood and the most violent show ever seen to come exclusively to Wii. Former Clover members prove their talent with this beat'em up portrayed with this comic-book look drawn with black, white and red colors. Modern art with a great sense of humor mixed with a macabre tone, MadWorld can only be blamed for its 6 hours campaign and the little depth it offers as a brawler, compared to the biggest games in the genre.
