MadWorld

MadWorld (マッドワールド, Maddo Wārudo) is a beat 'em up hack and slash video game developed by PlatinumGames and published by Sega for the Wii. It was released in March 2009 and was the first in a five game deal Platinum struck with Sega. It was re-released in Australia a year later as part of the Welcome to Violence boxset, which also includes The House of the Dead: Overkill and The Conduit. A spiritual successor of the game, Anarchy Reigns, was released in 2012.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Deep and engaging plot.
 * 2) Cool protagonist in the form of Jack Cayman.
 * 3) Unique visual style inspired by graphics novels such as Sin City.
 * 4) Over-the-top and violent combat.
 * 5) The only color you'll be seeing in the game is red blood, of which there is a lot of it.
 * 6) Hilarious mini-games, such as throwing your enemies in the path of a speeding train or knocking them into a dartboard with a bat.
 * 7) Bosses which are large in scale and rewarding to beat.
 * 8) The levels are completely open, so you can explore them freely.
 * 9) The game rewards you for finding creative ways to kill your opponents. For example, just simply impaling them on spikes won't earn you as many points as trapping them in a tire, impaling their face with a sign, and then impaling them on spikes would.
 * 10) Levels in which you ride Jack's motorcycle from place to place add variety and have you fighting off enemies along the way.
 * 11) Jack has a chainsaw that can be used to saw your enemies in half.
 * 12) Intuitive motion controls that are used where they make sense.
 * 13) Finishers that look awesome and are a thrill to pull off.
 * 14) When you beat the game it unlocks hard mode and a double chainsaw and kattana.
 * 15) Excellent music.
 * 16) Punchy sound effects.
 * 17) Funny commentary.
 * 18) Competitive two-player mode.

The Only Bad Quality

 * 1) The game is somewhat short, at about 5 hours long, though thanks to the difficulty, it can get longer.
