Muy buena estética y música.

Peak Platinum, the tragedy that was seeing Platinum go from a Treasure.inc 2 to a bayonetta machine was catastrophic

10/10 juice but camera and bosses suck

Bloody as hell, looks like a cool indie comic, amazing voice acting, satisfying high score based gameplay, really fucking good. What it lacks in some of the cool story beats that No More Heroes has, it makes up for in satisfying brutality. It also does still have cool story beats for the record. Amazing start for Platinum games. Also Nu Metal as hell

Low to Mid 8/10

I remember playing this game when I was 12 and when the boss with the big boobies showed up I immediately closed the game ejected the disc and put it back on the shelf because I thought if I saw a boob I would get banned from playing games. Good game.


Although the main advantage of Madworld is the insane art direction the game itself is really good. Many people consider it one of Platinum's worst, which may be true...but even Platinum's mid games are fantastic.
The combat is slower and not as flashy as you expect from them, but it's really fun.
This one screams for an HD remake.

sdds desse jogo, mto joguei no wii sozinho e com amigos

other than the blood challenges (forgot the name) combat got boring after the first mission. One positive is the art style, the odd enemy blending in to the background but other than that I really like it. Either way it crashed my Wii and I have no interest in going back.

Artstyle is fantastic but this will probably stay trapped on the Wii, never to be ported

Style over substance, but very enjoyable. So much potential. It’s like an off shoot Sin City in its visual presentation which is kickass. Thing is the latter has loads of substance despite its overabundant style, here tho? Nah. Still good tho.

O visual desse jogo é muito foda, e também a porradaria come solta. Joguei isso e achei empolgante, embora sendo exagerado.

Honestly play this game when you are having a bad day it's such a good stress dampener

PlatinumGames' debut title is a crass and violent battlecry, one with more nuance and experimentation than what you might expect from the game dev supergroup.

Estaba MUY bien. Una secuela más larga y en sistemas actuales la recibiría con los brazos abiertos.

This game is one of the best games on the wii. It has a unique art style, it uses the motion controls in a fun way (You get to saw people in half) and the sound track really helps get you in the mood to beat the shit out of people. I personally believe this game to be a must play for the Wii.

Stylish and violent, for being Platinum's first outing this game oozes charm. Its violent black and white aesthetic (outside of blood and some ui) is one of the most interesting looking games Ive ever seen. Its crude humor may not be for everyone but I sure as hell loved every second with this one. Also the music is fucking balling.

mi abuelita se enojaba xq mataba gente

kesinlikle wii kontrolcüsüyle oynaması çok daha eğlenceli olurdu.
hikayesi çok sıradan ve boktan.
oynanışı ilk 1-2 saat çok çeşitli ve keyifli geliyo ancak bölüm dizaynı oynanışı taşıyabilecek kadar keyifli değil. bi arenada yeterli puanı kasana kadar adam dövmek sıktı sonlara doğru.
genel olarak vahşet sahneleri çok tatmin edici.
motor sekansları güzel bi eklenti olmuş.
oyunun genel olarak mekaniklerinin oturaklı çalıştığını düşünmüyorum, ancak sadece belli hareketleri spamlayarak bossları rahatlıkla geçebiliyosunuz. oyun boyunca hiç ölmedim ama ölsem çok sinir bozucak bi oyun o yüzden daha zor olmasına dair bir isteğim yok ancak bosslar daha zor ve daha keyifli olabilirdi. tüm bosslarda tek yaptığın boss saldırana kadar dodge atıp sonrasında testere spamlamak. aradaki quick time eventler ve animasyonlar hoş bi dinamiklik katıyo oynanışa.
müzikler oyunu çok taşıyo. her bölüme özel dizayn edilmiş çok zengin bi soundtracki var. mizahı da hoş.
75/100

MadWorld is a game I REALLY want to like but whenever I go back to it, I either get bored or stuck and give up until I pick it up again years later. This time I wanted to give it a proper go in time for the 15th anniversary, but my patience wore thin by the time I got to the castle area.

I was already feeling that the stages were becoming a bit monotonous with how much point pushing it felt like was needed each time just to get to the boss fight, but not only does the castle area ramp this up, but it also introduces annoying BS which feels like runtime padding considering on average this game takes 5-10 hours not really including all the times you need to reset 20 mins back to the start of the stage. In particular on the shitlist, this level has:
- Randomly spawning enemy that takes 1 life per hit. You have 3 lives per stage.
- Enemies that grab you, forcing you to perform a QTE to avoid the one hit death enemy.
- Enemies that can only be attacked in a certain way as they otherwise respawn in packs. Only method of attack that works uses up a pretty fast draining attack meter and has to be done in a certain direction subject to motion controls working.
- A bossfight on average 20 mins into the stage where you are ganged up on by around 10 creatures that respawn when you kill them.

After already struggling with other levels for an hour or so beforehand and debating throwing in the towel, dying right at the end of this ordeal was as good as reason as any to figure that it doesn't get much better than this (I've heard it does, but I don't want to sit through this stage multiple times to find out to be completely honest, a complete moodkiller when said mood was just already "meh").

Sick soundtrack, mostly good presentation (enemies blend too much into the background sometimes due to black and white) and an intriguing plot do a lot of heavy lifting, but monotony and stage design sink the ship. Also, why is this game stuck in 480i? It came out in 2009. Not only could it have looked way better, but it would've helped with the colour clashing issues this game can sometimes suffer from. Don't really see Platinum pulling this game out of their backcatalogue (even with heavy re-edits since some things are pretty dated) but something that would at least help it somewhat.

Never bothered to finish this though I got pretty far. The Wii motion controls are just really not good at all, which is a shame because the actual gameplay is really good fun, especially when combined with its legendary soundtrack, probably the best in gaming history. The visuals are also excellent though I remember the art style getting a little overwhelming on the eyes at times. I WISH this game would get a console port with regular controls so it could hit a 7 or an 8 potentially, such a shame.

Style over substance. Now, that style is STYLISH, and it’s not absolutely awful, there is some substance. The glory kills are sick and I love the announcers. But it’s nothing amazing. Didn’t care about the story at all.

Personally, I really liked this game. It deserves more than what it got.
+ Awesome visual style and action
+ Memorable Boss encounters
+ Surprisingly good soundtrack

It's ridiculous, bloody, and vulgar. It really feels like you're playing through a graphic novel. The aesthetics truly are one of its greatest strengths.
You can clearly see the hints of Bayonetta and other Platinum/Clover games in this game.
It made me laugh quite a bit too.

It is one of those games that does become a little more style over substance as it goes on.
- Combat does get repetitive
- Camera is not that great.
- It's on the short side (Pro & Con tbh)

It's not as robust as Bayonetta or even Viewtiful Joe. It left me wanting more.
A lot of this I could excuse because it kept me excited to see how we'd takeout the next boss, and the story was somewhat intriguing.

It's not perfect, but there is fun to be had.
I wish MadWorld had become more of a thing. It has a lot of potential!

Um mangá em formato de jogo com muito sangue

Primeiro joguinho zerado de Wii nesse ano, e caramba que jogão namoral. Tem porrada pra todo canto, muita ação mas nada tanto em excesso, afinal o jogo tem quebras de clima bem colocada, seja pra explicar a história ou pra fazer alguma piadinha no meio de tanto caos.

Mas já deixando avisado, não entre em Madworld achando que ele vai ser um No More Heroes ou mais um jogo de hack n slash com piadas para o público adolescente dos anos 2000, Madworld é mais que isso. Ele tem um ar sério, sombrio e seu shader ressalta isso no jogo. Sua história vai crescendo ao longo dos estágios em que passamos e mais coisas são esclarecidas com o tempo, por mais confuso que pareça o jogo explica muito bem os pontos que ficam soltos por ai.

A trilha sonora é muito boa mas vou ser sincero que achei meio esquecível, mas são boas e dão um impacto maneiro na gameplay, e po não vou nem falar da gameplay porque né.. é um jogo da sega cara.. impossível tipo IMPOSSIVEL ter uma jogabilidade ruim.

Enfim, joguem MadWorld se tiverem a oportunidade de jogar, uma pena que o jogo ficou preso no wii, mas ele é bem a cara do console.

Playing this game when you're 15 makes you feel like such a badass. I still think it's super cool, and think it's got a lot of cool concepts. Doesn't quite hold up though.

An incoherent mess of wasted potential. Clunky controls (and no, that's not solely due to motion control implementation), poor visual design (aesthetically, having black & white art is neat - but it makes it difficult to navigate spaces in-game as a result), and absolutely awful "humor" (I muted the announcers the first chance I could), make an already mediocre action game even worse. It doesn't help that the game's scoring system seems purposefully designed to make you play the game in as un-fun a way as you can possibly manage.

There are several other Wii games way more enjoyable than this. If you want a gory violent action game to enjoy, play No More Heroes instead.

Madworld (2009): Tiene mucho de lo que luego perfeccionaría Bayonetta, y se le notan muy buenas ideas así como una gran ejecución. Tiene pegas, como el hacerse repetitivo pese a su corta duración, pero en general es muy disfrutable, especialmente para los fans de Platinum (7,35)


Madworld does an amazing job at having its own identity, the black and white comic book look with red blood looks super cool. Combined with the stage variety, bosses, soundtrack, and those commentators. It has a perfect style.

That doesn’t mean it’s flawless though. Some stages are way too simple or complex, the camera can be awkward, some motion controls feel forced, and the game crashed on me a few times when too much stuff was happening.

Comparing this game to No More Heroes shows some obvious similarities. While I think No More Heroes is better, Madworld is still a great game that deserves more recognition. A remaster would be amazing to see.

Somebody save this game from the Wii and get it on another platform, please.

One of the most stylish and aesthetically poignant games I've ever played. Everything from the monochrome look to the lowbrow humor from the announcers to the fantastic soundtrack that made me get more into hip-hop makes this game almost untouchable when it comes to a sense of style. It's fast, furious and bloody.

As a game, it starts off as a fun arcade game where you fuck people up in the most creative ways possible to earn points, but in later difficulties and levels the difficulty ramps up and starts demanding more from the player. It starts off as not a particularly hard game nor a long one, and the replay value comes from replaying through the game on higher difficulties. One could call the gameplay a shallow experience, but I don't think it overstays its welcome long enough to warrant that criticism.

If you can find this game for cheap, it's absolutely worth looking into. There are few games like it and it's just a rip-roaring good time.

The novelty of an ultra-violent, hyper-stylized action game on the Wii is already enough to make MadWorld stand out from its contemporaries, but it's also got a great sense of humor and a fun gameplay loop to tie it all together.

FUCK SHIT UP! CHAINSAW GOES VROOM! LOWBROW HUMOR! THIS GAME FUCKING RULES!
PlatinumGames really said let's start with a bang and they have, I love this game so much, it's some of the most fun I had with a game. It's especially great on a real Wii but Dolphin will do you fine too, like it did me. Only flaw with this game is that the story takes itself too seriously and thinks it's some deep analogy of human nature of violence or something, it's really not lol this game shouldn't try to take itself seriously like that and as a result I didn't care much for the story but it's very easy to toss to the background cuz of how much insanity happens and how good the gameplay is.

Wonder if Platinum will ever port this to PC, I dunno how fun itd be without motion controls but I'm sure they can make it feel good as a regular KBM/controller beat em up
