It sounds to me like this preview is forgiving a great deal on acount of the developers protests that it's unfinished. I can't shake the feeling I have that this is going to be a crushing disappointment to all the people who are holding this up as the Great White Hope for 'core' games on the Wii this year.
Actually, my even more cynical viewpoint is that the eventual quality of this game will be inversely proportional to its sales (i.e if it's great, it'll sink like Okami, but if it's crap it'll top-10 like all the other minigame dross). |

What a stupid article. How can you be so flippant about graphic, adult content, no matter how childishly its portrayed?

I'm curious - does the black and white make it difficult to pick out enemies and objects on screen - it certainly makes it tough on stills.

As hilarious and spectacularly violent as it is, MadWorld won't get by on visual spectacle alone.
It might do. How can you be so flippant about graphic, adult content, no matter how childishly its portrayed? Because it's really cartoony and silly. Do you write a letter to your MP everytime Kenny gets killed in South Park? |

Betrays the Wii image. You've got to laugh.
I picture a housewife going into Woolies to pick up little Timmy a new game for his Wii, does she buy Minigame Moneysponge Collection 4 with rabbits, squirrels and sparkly things on the cover or does she buy an 18 rated black and white hyper violent comic styled beat em up with a blood soaked cover, hmmmmmm. Its hard to think of the general populace as having a conscious mind that's able to decipher between the two but maybe its good that someone is campaigning for them, just in case. |

What the hell is going on with EGs image viewer? Logical thing to expect when reading a review and seeing a picture, is for you to click on it and a nice lightbox to appear over the text (which you can then close and return to the article)
Instead... 1) Click on Picture 2) Bye bye article you were reading, hello blank screen 3) Scroll down 4) See picture It's the most illogical system I've ever seen. |

No More Heroes was a sorely under appreciated game. If it wasn't for Treasure and Bangai-O, it'd be my current game of the year. Shame they censored the crap out of it, which is what will happen to this game if it isn't banned. Democracy can be stupid...

This actually may be the game that manages to sell me the Wii (that I've been wanting to get for Mario/ Zelda/ Metroid unholy trinity anyway). The preview sounds optimistic and the Leipzig trailer confirms a lot of it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKtkGOrYiWw Yes, cartoony, irreverent and looks like mad fun. If it has at least half of God Hand's depth I am totally sold on it. |

Another game catering to teens while trying to be conceived as adult by displaying violence. Gaming has never been more immature.

You know what? Sometimes I want my gaming to be immature. It's exactly the same as movies. Sometimes I want to watch something worthy and improving and subtitled that nobody else I know has even heard of, and sometimes I just want to watch Running Man. Sue me. |

"What the hell is going on with EGs image viewer?"
Seconded. Its trying too hard to be clever, and ends up making what should be a simple task more complex than it needs to be. How about a link at the top of each article page, that takes the reader to the associated full gallery should they (and should there be a gallery)? Then you can just present large versions of the embedded images directly as secombe suggests, the same way everyone else (successfully, if unoriginally) does. |

I agree with J.C's comments - I'm concerned that, like No More Heroes, the blood in MadWorld will be censored.
Unlike No More Heroes, however, the game's graphical style will suffer heavily for it. |

The blood wasn't censored by any authority in the UK but was a decision taken by the publisher.

Haha oh man, why is it that each time there's a new (p)review of an interesting Wii game, people go "Too bad I sold my Wii", "Finally something for my dust collecting Wii" or "I won't buy a Wii just for this"? And I mean, each time, again and again.
It's just so fucking funny. It's like watching some kid count to "1" ten times over. |

This game along with some other new games (de Blob, Disaster: Day of Crisis, Dead Rising, Mushroom Men, Cursed Mountain, The Conduit, Sam&Max etc. and of course the already known games like MP3 oder Mario Galaxy) are the reason that many core-gamers I know that until now only owned a PS3/360 are going to get a Wii.
