Madworld

It's hard for me not to think about No More Heroes when I think about Madworld. The games are so alike it's ridiculous. Both have a ranking system where you can become #1 at killing people. Both use a ridiculous amount of blood to prove a point. Both protagonists ride motorcycles at some point in the game. The main difference? Madworld is in black and white.

Madworld takes pride in it's violent content. The most random objects can be used to fuck somebody up, and the more violent you get with your enemies, the more points you get. I got bored hitting a guy with a tire, putting a sign through his face, then throwing him in the human garbage where he was immedately cut in half.


The main character Jack is BORING. He really doesn't have a personality. He just knows what he's doing and is really good at fucking people up. His chainsaw reminded me way too much of the Chainsaw Bayonet in Gears of War 2. With that said I liked the way he dances to the music when your not doing anything. It's kind of cute.


There are three things that made the game for me. The Black Baron, the commentary, and the graphics. The Black Baron is a funny guy. His lessons in pimpin before the Bloodbath challenges are hilarious. If there's one thing more funny than this guy, it has to be the commentary provided by comedians Greg Proops and John DiMaggio. They keep the laughs coming with their hilarious commentary on everything you do. The commentary and the Black Baron make up for the fact that Jack is a really boring character.

The graphics to Madworld are unique and really cool. Everybody knows the Wii graphics are better than Gamecube graphics, but hardly compare to the graphics of Ps3 or Xbox 360. The developers took the limits of the Wii and did something creative by making a really cool looking city in black and white. I especially like the how the white in Jack's zipper popped.

Better than No More Heroes? No, but If you got a Wii check out Madworld
