The blood..its just like red paint being thrown all around the screen. It like a black and white comic and somebody spilled red ink all over it. The only really brutal kill is spiking people up the you-know-what and out the top of their heads. I think the controversey is a bit overblown. What do you think?

In what way is it offensive? I can see how the game would be offensive if it was racist or something, but in what way is extreme violence offensive? Are the Saw movies offensive as well?

That's because all of you are you're so used to viewing it such violence you're used to it and fail to see the mass evil revolving around it for being exposed to it for so long. You wanna call my bluff?

Some people make too much of it. The game is offensive no doubt (it's supposed to be) but there's nothing wrong with it, and I look forward to playing it this weekend now that my preorder has arrived.

I think it is as offensive as Tom and Jerry. It is so over the top and ridiculous that it is funny, the main difference of course is that Madworld has blood which is made even more clear due to the black and white backgrounds.

Yeah it's a cartoony type of offensive, which is why I don't think this game can be compared to games like Manhunt 2.

:lol:

Well, Itchy and Scratchy is a more violent satire of Tom and Jerry so I guess it also applies. The main point Madworld, Itchy and Scratchy, Tom and Jerry, The Coyote and the Road Runner, or any other cartoon that uses Acme products to cause destruction are violent, but in a cartoonish way which for me is not offensive at all.

Violence shouldn't be offensive in general, but apparently society is so far above its most primal instincts.

What? I don't recall Tom and Jerry ever using chainsaws and strong language in addition to sexual themes and mature humor. Tom and Jerry and Madworld are incomparable.

That's one way to look at it I suppose, but this a title with a whole more than just violence at hand here.

The thing with this kind of violence is that, it's so fake, that you know it isn't real and isn't made to be anything really serious.

But yes, the violence in the game is being hit with a bit too much criticism, but it happens.

Oh well, just enjoy the game.

there's nothing to take offense to. it's just random goons being killed. its not like a bunch of Jewish people, black people, and asians getting brutally murdered... now THAT would be offensive.
