MadWorld's Gamespot Review Is Going To Be Massacred... (confirmed: 7.5)

And it's not going to make sense because of No More Heroes's review of 9.0.

So far, the game's problems are:

1. Wonkey Camera: No More Heroes had a camera that worked perfectly about 70% of the time.
2. Bad bike areas: Travis's bike looks to be worse.
3. Repetitive Kills: No More Heroes had the same type of kills over and over but this didn't seem to be a problem in Gamespot's review.
4. Too short: No More Heroes was a longer game, but Mad World apparently has better replay value (according to reviews).

On top of all of this, No More Heroes won Wii Game of the Year despite being scored lower than Brawl.... and yet I still see Gamespot giving MadWorld a much lower score for problems very similar to No More Hero's even WITH:

1. A gorgeous Wii engine that displays particle effects without frame-rate problems like No More Heroes.
2. Much more engaging enemies that are not carbon copies of each other.
3. It looks to have better mini-games than No More Heroe's mediocre chores.
4. there are several different weapons and thus several more ways to kill enemies than in No More Heroes.
5. More bosses and actual mid-level bosses as well.
6. The audio is probably even with No More Heroes having a retro feel and MadWorld having hip-hop.

I don't know why, but I can just see MadWorld getting massacred by Gamespot. Get ready.... hopefully sometime this week. >_>

[EDIT]Yup... I was right: 7.5

8-8.5. They won't mess it up too badly. Frankly though,none of us have played the game so we are really in a position to judge them BEFORE the review is even out let alone the game.

That depends on how much hype Madworld has. Console-hyped games and multiplats seem to score higher than PC-hyped games do.

After giving Empire: Total War a 8.5, I have a bad feeling about MadWorld's review...AlexSays

I understand your point, frankly, I don't care what they give it because it will be awesome BUT lately there has been a lot of "gamespot is teh dumbest reviews evar" and such when like none of these people have even touched the games they are so vigrously defending. I simply don't think that judging one website using other websites as sources helps anything. They all have different standards, tastes, quirks. levels of tolerance, ec. It can't really be a bad review unless there are flatout lies in it or its poorly written which isn't the case most of the time.

I don't care what it scores, I was going to buy it regardless.Haziqonfire

Same here.

You should be more worried about the Conduit.Master-Thief-09

Normally I don't flat out hate games but Madworld looks like poop to me. I understand what they tried to do with the game and I think they did it. But I still have no desire to play it or watch another second of it's gameplay.

The review is going to focus mostly on how big of a headache the reviewer got from looking at the visuals. Count on it.Cherokee_Jack

While I was originally all for hyping it AA I think will probably get a 7.5 now, but then again IGN gave NMH a 7.8 and then GS gave it a 9 so you never know that will happen. But either way I'm still buying it first day :)

It'll get knocked for not having Mii integration or teh supafly online multiplayer fragfest.

I'm gonna be busting up HD gamers if Madworld outscores RE5 and Total War Empire:lol:

Madworld will get a 9.0 or 9.5 by Gamespot and yet Total War Empire gets 8.5. It's truly pathetic how far Gamespot has fallen in regards to its legitimacy and respectability regarding its reviews.scoobiesnackarf

You must agree, that would be hilarious. Sheep would be...

everyone else would be,

I would be,

I'm gonna be busting up HD gamers if Madworld outscores RE5 and Empire: Total War :lol:

Haha, sheep are backing off the hype now? Damage control, perhaps?

Come on, I've been so excited for MadWorld and I believe it'll be AAA. If it flops, then oh well. I'll be playing it day one and take the ownage like a man. It's just a game. Have some faith in the awesomeness that is MadWorld. It's rare that the Wii gets a game worth giving a darn about like this.

Call me whatever you will but I was shocked when I saw that NMH received a score above a 7. Take that for what you will but I would expect the same from MW from the looks. Yes, I have played NMH.Ibacai

Aside from the awful collision detection in NMH's hub, I feel that it was well deserving of an 8.5-9.0.

I defend Wii but for this reason I'll never call myself a Sheep.

Grow some stones Sheep :|

I think GS will give it a 7.5 or 8.0, though it seems to deserve more

Empire? If so, then so what. Total War is absolutely full of win. Picked it up today and have played 3 hours so far. It's better than most AAA titles, which is the case with a few A titles and a good many AA titles.

GameSpot reviews are typically a mess - however Madworld is kind of a mess too... it's the sort of game that compensates for massive gameplay flaws by having unique visuals (*cough* Gears of War *cough*) and ultimately winds up being frustrating. I've been a tad annoyed by the Madworld hype. It's a Wii game with violence and visuals - yet I've been told by the Nintendo crowd that these things aren't particularly important to gaming. subrosian

Hey now, you defended Too Human like crazy, even after it came out and you played it -- which I'm not saying is a bad thing,because I also enjoyed Too Human and defended it multiple times, but I'm just sayin'. :P MadWorld will be awesome, but ultimately crapped on by the legions of Wii-bashing fanboys.

It's not like people will look at the review and say " ok, i guess i'm not getting this game then ".

I find all hack n' slashers to be repetitive. I find God of War repetitive. I find them all repetitive. Ninja Gaiden and Devil May Cry are deeper, so they don't get as repetitive as quickly. But to me, in the end, they're all get repetitive at some point.

I didn't mind the overworld. I found the collision absolutely abysmal, but other than that, I enjoyed searching around the city for loot (money, t-shirts, balls, etc).

I also liked the visual styIe. I'll agree that the graphics weren't as striking as a MadWorld or Super Mario Galaxy, but the artstyIe was nice, atleast I thought.

Controls were just dandy for me and actually quite intuitive.

Okay, lets see some proof of MadWorld ownership.

I'm not arguing if there's nothing to argue about. If you know so much about it, then lets see the goods.

I own every system this generation, btw.

everything we've heard about this game points to amazing gameplay as well as graphics

[QUOTE="Bigboi500"]

[QUOTE="Ibacai"] Repetitive....really stinking repetitive, crappy overworld, bland as hell graphics and art when not looking at bosses or main characters, wonky controls..... The only good things were the boss fights and humor, in my opinion. I just don't see it as being over a 7.Ibacai

The lack of mii integration will bring it down to a 6.0.
