The Wii has a well-earned reputation of being a console for the whole family. That may change somewhat when Madworld gets its Western release in the first quarter of 2009.
Madworld is a highly stylized action game which features some of the most extreme scenes of violence possibly ever rendered in pixels. The violence is so over-the-top that it's almost amusing in its excessiveness. Bodies get split in twain, hearts get ripped out of chests, lamp posts get impaled in heads--and that's just in the one level that we saw.
Madworld employs a unique graphical style where the entire world and characters are rendered in high detailed black and white (and somewhat similar to the art style in a Frank Miller Sin City book and you'll get the picture). In fact, the only color in the game is the red blood which gushes out of opponents in copious amounts.
And did we mention that the main character in the game's default weapon is a chainsaw?
