BBFC clears MadWorld for sale in UK
Daily Mail bound to be pleased.
Controversial Wii game MadWorld has been given an 18 rating by the British Board of Classification, with no cuts made.
"Contains very strong, stylised, bloody violence," surmises the classification, highlighting the reasons behind Mediawatch-UK's outcry to the Daily Mail last year.
Support for the SEGA-published game proved strong, however, as showers of hostile emails from fans littered the media watchdog's inbox.
Nintendo also seems rather proud of the "sheer creativity" on offer in MadWorld, a title the platform holder hopes will appease the disgruntled hardcore Wii crowd during 2009.
Newly-formed developer Platinum Games is behind the game, having been formed in 2006 by ex-members of Clover Studio, which delivered gems such as God Hand, Okami and Viewtiful Joe.
Head over to our MadWorld preview to find out why we're rather excited.
MadWorld is due out exclusively for Wii this March.

At least the sequel will have it all, although to be fair it didn't ruin any of the fun for me.

Huh? I assume that's in reference to Manhunt 2 rather than say all the other 18 games Rockstar have had passed successfully... Poor, poor Rockstar.

... still, I'm prepared to eat my words and queue up for it if it defies my expectations.

Although if you wanted to recreate the game, you'd have to eat black and white crayons first for a while to turn monocromatic.

Are you naturally a moron or do you have to work at it?
Seriously the Daily Mail would employ you...

I think the development costs for a Wii title, as opposed to a multi-platform PS3/360 are much lower. There are also plenty of "hardcore" people who have a Wii and will buy this. You yourself admit it looks good.

on a side note...
i wish all the Wii trolls that have taken over this site would just piss off or grow up, they really have been turning this place into a joke. whether it is a good review, a bad review, a news article, anything, they just come running and start slagging the console off as if they are on some kind of mission to try and somehow influence or convince people that their way of thinking is the only acceptable one. what is it exactly?

And once again the Wii comes up with another game that is different and can appeal to a range of gamers. I hope it does well.

Just stick to the Wii forum here, fairly calm. The usual comment peeps probably wouldn't understand, but there are still those of us who are playing Wii Sports (and have been since launch), most people wouldn't notice, but there is immense depth in most of the games. It bodes well for the Motion Plus pack, because even with the normal remote with practice you can become eerily accurate in Tennis, for example.
