Madworld IGN Review!

I don't know what you consider to be 'Steak', Jasonguy, but the new issue Official Nintendo Magazine UK arrived for me today and they have given it 85%.

Their closing points:

+ Top-notch Presentation
+ All-out arcade action
+Laugh out loud funny
+Fantastic character design
- Gets repetitive fast.

Closing Comments: Great fun in short bursts, Madworld is a quality title with buckets of gore, $tyle and humour.

Sweet, I'll probably pick this game up if I have enough extra cash after getting RE5.

I'm probably getting it friday, but YES!!! Now to wait for the GS review, I'm predicting an 8.

Even with it's good review, it still doesn't grasp my attention. It's not my kind of game.

XDXDXDXDXDXDXD

Nice, can't wait to get it!!

Might look into it!

I'd start with this stump here

And work my way up

alright, time to pre-order it going to my eb games right nowfunsohng

Why not go to a real store?

Yeah, I'm excited for the game. I think GS will give it an 8.5, but I could care less. I was going to get this game regardless of the score. I'm looking forward to it and will buy it when I get the chance.

[QUOTE="Mike1978Smith"][QUOTE="Rocky32189"] And who exactly would you classify as "steak" in terms of reviewers?Jaysonguy

Personally, I don't think there's any game reviewer that would meet that bar, and I think that's a problem, really. We need our own Roger Ebert. :P

[QUOTE="Jaysonguy"]

[QUOTE="Mike1978Smith"] I'd like to know this as well, heh.Mike1978Smith

I'd start with this stump here

And work my way up

No, not blowing smoke

Matt Cassaheyjustwaitkidicarusfans is the worst reviewer right now

So that stump right there is three times the reviewer he is

That's right, he's not even worth one third of a stump

Awesome

anyways who gives a fricing crap about him using words like stupid waggle thats what it is it not motion geusters its waggle youi waggle the wii remote around intil the guy dies stupid sounds like the right name to me like someone said before you need to watch some fox news for what your looking for. i prefer he methods gets the point accrose better like if the sound is suckish in a game well if he says the sound is lacking in some aspects hmmm... or the sounds isnt good or its stupid idc which one just make it simple and thats what he does.

If you are meaning to say there AREN'T any good reviewers then simply say so. Although I would consider your steak comment rather silly, as you don't believe there is one. It would be like saying "Although I've never tasted it, I prefer steak." :P

Just about what I expected from IGN, the average of the reviews seems to be between8.5 and 9.0. I was going to get the game regardless of its scores but it is nice to see it getting good reviews anyway.

Yes!!!!!! With this and RE5 I'll be set for life........well maybe for a month.

Guys, PLEASE support this game! Unless you completely hate it or aren't allowed too, you should purchase Madworld. I mean, let's say that Jason is right and it doesn't deserve a nine. Well none the less the game is awesome and deserves no lower than an eight, and if you are going to buy a game please buy this one so that devs see that Wii games of any amount of "hardcore"-ness can succeed. Head_of_games

Eh, to be honest it doesn't look that interesting to me. It might be amusing for a little while, but I personally can do without a game featuring things such as rectal impalement. :P

I've never quite understood the cries that I've seen repeatedly that everyone must buy MadWorld because otherwise it'll be casual games forever on the Wii. If MadWorld isn't the particular kind of game I'd like to see more of, it would seem rather strange for me to buy it to encourage devs to make more.

This attitude kills me. Buying games you may or may not like just because of the tone of the game doesn't ensure good games down the road it just ensures the same mediocre titles. this game with a different coat of paint could be a cake punching game. "hardcore" visuals don't mean anything.

I guarantee you that right now all eyes are on Madworld. While many third-party developers may seem incredibly stupid, they actually do have some brains. Right now the best selling games are Wii Play and Wii Fit. Meanwhile,Metroid Prime Three: Corruptionsellsrelatively few copies. Therefore, like the birdmen they are, the third-parties make games like those that are succeeding. Right now they are watching to see if pure "hardcore" games can actually sell, and if they conclude they can there is no doubt in my mind that there WILL be more games for the "hardcore". I'm not saying Madworld can single-handedly bring death to shovelware, but it combined with the efforts of The Conduit and other upcoming games can hopefully put a noticeable dent in the wall of bad games at your local walmart. I'm not saying that you should buy the game if it doesn't interest you at all, but if you like the genre for goodness sakes support it!

you should never have to buy a game that you dont want to, there is no reason to buy something to "support" the wii getting more hardcore titles because honestly it will not make a difference. You buy something because you like it and because you want more of it. Madworld is a cool game and is very unique in it's presentation. Personally I think this should have been delayed and more features added, the developers when asked said they would consider making a sequel depend on this one did and it kinda feels like they didn't try as hard as they could have in making the game great. Also this really isnt the kind of game that you make sequels for, the style is too unique and a sequel would feel like a cheap imitation to the original. Plus there is only so much you can do to alter the gameplay which basically consists of different ways of killing people.

I dunno maybe it's just me but the stuff that they left out seems to be a big detriment to people buying this game and it seems like they decided not to go all out and include some very basic features which would have really increased the game's replay value.

Head_of_games

You'd be wrong

Know where all the eyes were?

On Resident Evil 4 that sold 1.7 million

Know where all the eyes went?

Carnival Games and it's 3.16 million

Now Madworld tried to copy games like Carnival Games but make no mistake. Devs know these titles can sell on the Wii. They've known since launch

They don't care

I can't wait for this game I am so going to get it.

I would tend to agree with you. Add Wii Fit to that list too.

Which honestly isnt a bad thing Wii Fit is quiet innovative though it did lack a couple much needed features.

I'm hoping wii motion plus will allow for better game development as it makes it 1:1. It will be interesting to see how it does and I imagine that is why nintendo itself has not been producing titles. Zelda with motionplus will probably revolutionize gaming in terms of immersion.

a bit of a tangent there, but the point is the Wii is still a gimmicky console and that people really do value excellent graphics and crappy control schemes. The wii is very outside the bubble but i bet they will be able to attract more game developers with the motion plus.

I'll wait till an actual reviewer puts one up

Jaysonguy

hmmm...I'll prolly pick it up. 5 - 6 hours is a little disappointing, but maybe I'll rent it first.

IGN may not always be that acurate, but come on!

A 9 from IGN is at least worth something, even more then just something... this shows that Madworld will competing for game of the year on Wii.

This will also likely be the start of a long trend of similar reviews.

This game looks awesome and that last kill at the end was sadisticly funny but this game I will definetley like to buy along with House of the Dead OK, Muramasa, and The Conduit but now the Wii needs an RPG.

Like what I hear so far. I still think Ill play it myself before deciding to get it.

Same here. I don't trust any of Matt C.'s reviews.
