March 10, 2009 - Excellent - MadWorld is not a perfect game, and for some it might be a tad on the short side. But I had a blast on this roller coaster through a unique world.
March 9, 2009 - Excellent - I realize that not everybody will find MadWorld's unique visual and aural presentation appealing, but to me, the game is an instant collector's item and a Wii showpiece, not just for its amazing style, but for its label-busting content.
March 10, 2009 - Good - No matter how much the schoolboy-humour commentary grates, no matter how repetitive the bits in between the set-pieces start to feel and no matter how frustrating the later levels become, MadWorld provides a rush of blood to the head almost as often as it provides a rush of blood to the pavement.
March 10, 2009 - Good - Far from a perfect game, MadWorld is perhaps the answer to gamers' pleas for a hardcore title to arrive on the Wii. If you don't need a parent's permission to buy this game, strap on your chainsaw arm and prepare to have a bloody good time.
March 18, 2009 - Good - It's great to have such a visually appealing and mature-themed title on the Wii, but MadWorld is too brief and a bit too shallow to justify a purchase.
March 11, 2009 - Good - Although MadWorld has its inconsistencies, adrenaline junkies will relish its visual design and steady deluge of savage death and dismemberment.
March 10, 2009 - Good - It's got some annoyances -- a game of this nature is bound to get repetitive, some of the mini-games are duds, and the camera can become genuinely irritating at times -- but generally, MadWorld offers plenty of blood-spattered fun.
March 10, 2009 - Good - [MadWorld] would be great fun on any console, but that it's on the Wii is cause for celebration.
March 11, 2009 - Good - Along with No More Heroes, Wii owners can point to MadWorld and say that not only do they have shockingly violent games, they have shockingly violent games with style and substance.
March 19, 2009 - Good - High production values and a superb art style can only take a game so far, and the gameplay on offer here, while fun, can't take it that step further.
March 19, 2009 - Mediocre - If you're the type of person who can appreciate style-over-substance games, you'll probably love it. But once I figured out what was really going on in MadWorld, it felt pretty thin.
