But MadWorld is the kind of game where you have to ask, because you never know. You might think it's a ridiculous question, and later find out it's been in there all along -- this is a game that features a trumpet laxative as one of its moves, and a boss named Herr Frederick von Twirlenkiller (pictured below) that throws cows at you.
It's also arguably the most promising Wii game on the way in 2009, so I tried to mix in a few real questions among the silly ones when I sat down recently (along with Editorial Director Sam Kennedy) to interview producer Atsushi Inaba and director Shigenori Nishikawa".
The motion-controlled maverick of a console that had everyone from age 9 to 99 swing a TV remote to bowl and painstakingly recreating themselves as Miis, had its share of hits, but even so, some titles didn’t quite get their due.
Love this game (played on Vita) and i think i got pretty far, but never finished because i refused to look up a guide 😎
Same with me, played for like 50 hours, found a puzzle I just couldn't crack and decided to let it go. Great game
Beneath all the Smash and shovelware, the Wii really did have quite a few gems.
Not a bad list.. I would add Excitebots, Kororinpa 1 & 2, Bit.Trip series, Geometry Wars: galaxies
Keanu Reeves appearing in the trailer for Cyberpunk 2077 is far from the strangest celebrity video game appearance. Game Luster's Kate Mitchell highlights gaming's most unexpected voice acting moments.
it reminds me a little of no more heroes in it's approach. Gore and stylized look. But this could potentially beat it out if it becomes as gritty as they are promising. Here's to disembowelment on the wii in 09 :-D
I'm a little apprehensive toward Mad World, since the way it's shaping up it's either going to be one of the greatest games ever or one of the cruelest, most crushing disappointments ever. The more I see, the more my usually cynical expectations raise and the more it seems that there's no other alternative: even if it's "really good", it will be a catastrophic let-down.
