Well of course it's a factor. However the shortage of gameplay isn't nearly as bad a thing in Madworld as it is in other games. That's because: 1. The game can get repetitive as there are only so many possible kills. The game would have gotten boring if they made it too long. 2. The game is very replayable from what I've heard. You can play a level over and over trying to get a really high score. 3. There are minigames that you can keep playing. Platinum games did say if Madworld sells that they would have no problem making a sequel. Hopefully it will and the sequel will be longer.Head_of_games

You just contradicted Point number 1 with Point number 2.

The game gets repetitive and boring if it's too long, but it's very replayable?

You can play a level over and over even if it's boring and repetitive?

- Remaining on topic, GS takes value into account on all their reviews. That's why Deadly Creatures scored lower too, even though it's twice as long as MadWorld.

[QUOTE="evrdayblues"]I was being a bit harsh, but only because all these people are kidding themselves into believing that this is the best looking game on the system and hyping the game on that characteristc alone. snover2009

Have you seen video's of the Conduit?

Nothing on the system compares to its visuals, not even Galaxy's.

The only game I expect to surpass it is the next Metroid and Zelda games.

Yup, I have seen over a dozen videos, including the tech demo for the engine.

You see, I have been following this game ever since IGN posted the engine tech demo. That is about a year ago I think. At first, I was just as impressed as you are with the visuals, because HVS was pulling off some nice technical stuff that no other 3rd party dev had done yet. Quickly enough I found that the art style was lacking, but I figured they would work on it. But you see, aside from a few aliens and a couple of weapons, the art style did not change much. That is why I am disappointed. I suppose they still have a bit of time to work on all that...

And you still fail to name a single graphicaleffect that the Conduit uses, which is not used in Galaxy. In fact, the only thing that makes Conduit more technically advanced than MP3 is the normal mapping, but since MP3 has a beautiful art direction and runs silky smooth at 60 frames per second, I would say Prime 3 tops it, nonetheless.

I consider getting 120 beating the game. It would be awful to stop after 60, you'd be missing so much content.Englando_IV

[QUOTE="evrdayblues"]Apart from some of the aliens, the game looks bad. Swallow it.AlexSays

[QUOTE="Head_of_games"] First of all, art isn't everything. From a technical perspective the game is incredibly realistic for a Wii game. And we can't say the whole game looks generic when we've only seen a few levels. And if it is generic looking, it will probably be so darn fun we won't even notice. And how can you call it generic when so far there is absolutely nothing like it on the Wii? This game isn't trying to be a halo/killzone/gears killer, it's just trying to be great considering the system it is on. And if this game succeeds, it opens the door for other devs to make games of the same type but even better and possibly on par with those of the 360/PS3.Haziqonfire
