MadWorld (Nintendo Wii, 2009)

Product Specs

Description

A highly stylized game filled with enough blood-soaked ultraviolence to make Malcolm McDowell blush, MadWorld drops players in the midst of a twisted sports show known as Death Watch. Created by a group of terrorists who call themselves "The Organizers," Death Watch pits competitors against one another in a gruesome, Running Man-style battle for survival. Gamers step into the role of Jack, a contestant who must master the deadly weapons found in each environment in order to advance. MadWorld makes use of comic-book-inspired black-and-white art, but players can interrupt the monochrome with frequent splashes of crimson blood and viscera. Comedic commentary narrates the over-the-top action as gamers use their Wii Remote and Nunchuk to rack up combos by thrashing enemies and performing brutal finishing moves on hulking bosses. Those looking for human competition can choose to join friends in hot seat mode for a series of violent mini-games known as "Blood Bath Challenges."
