I haven't even turned my Wii on since No More Heroes.

Hope I can find out where the remote is by March :)

And this hands-on just about nails it for me.

Even if I have to throw a road sign through someone's head first. ;)

Nicely written article! Made me quite excited, and I haven't turned on my Wii in yonks.

The stuff about scoring and trying to chain together moves makes this sound like a 3D Viewtiful Joe and has therefore made me even more excited about this game.

As above I havent played with the wii in yonks, so would be good to get something to play on it again!

This is an almost certain purchase for me. The Wii is a little underused these days and needs a kick in the arse to wake it up once again. Madworld may just be the kick it needs.

Probably behind the DVD player, at least, that's where mine was. :)

This sounds like it could be a laugh any game that can be favourably linked with Smash TV and Robotron has potential.

I suspect this game will be pretty shit in reality. Ignoring the visuals (which I am trying desperately to, because they fuck up my retinas), it sounds pretty shallow. I suppose it's all relative for Wii owners at this point though.

I like the sound of this game, but not sure I could handle the visuals for more than 10 mins. It just looks like it would be hard to focus on for any period of time.

Being developed by Sega though I really hope it's good.

Mercifully, Sega is just the publisher - PlatinumGames is the developer.

Sounds like a very stylish and gory The Club to me. Not a bad concept, but after the initial novelty things start to go downhill.

there were no buses running in London yesterday. Get your facts right. Appalling reporting. I demand a Daily Mail review of this poor attempt at free news.

Sounds great and as I said in the release date article - the only game for Wii I'm looking forward to right now. Will there be online leaderboards?

Do the so called "mature/hardcore" gamers only play games with violence in 'em? I'm not saying I could've done without my Xbox, but there's been some corking games on Wii over the last few months.

No, they play Mario Galaxy too, and ocaisionally Wii Sports.

It's not so much the style of the game but the gameplay that matters, and there's a large group of gamers who want more then the casual games and mini game collections that are proving verry popular among the non tradional gamers the Wii atracts.

The only people with enough time on their hands to be considered 'hardcore' are thirteen year olds. Enough said really?
Come to think of it, I don't know anyone under 25 with a Wii.

If this game was on the other consoles, the 13 year olds would be here slating it because you can't use a keyboard/mouse.

sounds pretty great, was on my radar anyway but this is one of the best previews i have read. hopefully the start of this year will be better than the end of last year in terms of releases, although thankfully it looks like there are quite a few good games coming for the wii. sounds like this game might actually keep me off of street fighter 4 for a while.

This sounds so much in the spirit of God Hand that I'm very, very excited.

@asphaltcowboy

Do we really want to get into listomania? Okay, you asked for it... off the top of my head we've had... Smash Bros, Mario Kart, World Of Goo, Lost Winds, Zack & Wiki, Pro Evo 2008, de Blob, Tetris Party and Actionloop Twist (I'm not going to include multiformat stuff like Rock Band and Guitar Hero).

As I say, I couldn't have done without my 360, but I'd say anyone should be able to find at least two good reasons there to fire up their Wii (indeed, IMHO Lost Winds and World Of Goo are pretty much essential).

I don't know about you but I don't replay the same games again and again, I completed Lost Winds over a weekend at launch and I've just got de Blob a week or so but between the two there wasn't much reason to fire it up as I'd already played the games I liked when they launched (World of Goo I got on PC).

Did you just say Mario Galaxy was a "casual game"?

Oh brother.

Next you'll be telling me "insert fps title here" is more hardcore than it is...

This comes across like a work of genius for the console. So much win. I'd better prod the Wii, in readiness for March.

Erm.. what if it's crap?

(I'll wait for reviews thanks)

I'm not personally sad enough to buy a game just because it's got red pixels... In the same way as im not sad enough NOT to buy a game just because it's colourful.

It'll probably be more frenetic than The Club. (Club = good - running around large maps looking for something to attack = not so) That's why I'm looking forward to it, in addition to the laughs from the surreal, ott nature of the play, hinted at in the preview. These levels seem more deliberate, and there are surely more opportunities to accumulate/retain combos and high scores, because you're not simply someone running around with a gun, it has a far greater emphasis on close quarters combat.

I saw a pigeon run over by a taxi in Lisle Street behind Lec Sq in the 1990's. It wasn't plesant and a female friend I was with at the time has a panic attack and screamed for some time after.

But I'm looking forward to this game still.

Not sure about anyone else but I came away from this review with a few key words "fun", "smile" and "score-fixated"

All adding up for me so far, regardless of the gore content. Lets just hope the final review is as positive as this preview.
