Whoever said that the Nintendo Wii was reserved for Mario romps and dreadful dancing titles? Developed by Platinum, this intense little beat em up gave its players the chance to run around shish-kebabing Ninjas to their heart's content. Madworld enables you to act out many of your darkest fantasies on Nintendos childrens console. With a deceptively compelling story-line, extremely satisfying, frantic gameplay and incredible boss-battles, Madworld with its many grotesque finishing moves is one of the Wiis most memorable titles. At times the violence can become so grotesque that it becomes comical. Its at the point where youre using a gigantic, nail-ridden club to smash enemies at a darts board that you know MadWorld doesnt take itself that seriously. All this incredible bloody action is punctuated by the games superb hip-hop soundtrack. The intense violence and gore of MadWorld is made to seem even more visually arresting by the fact that all the action is shown in stark black and white all except for the blood that is. The limited colour palette means that MadWorlds improbable supply of blood is foregrounded and intensified. Despite the inked lines, Platinum managed to achieve a huge amount of detail in MadWorlds environments which would play host to this excessive violence.
