We take a look at one of the Wii's bloodiest titles.
You wait years for a slasher game on the Wii and then two come along at once.
In MadWorld, you play Jack, a psycho with a chainsaw attached to his right arm. Jack is dropped into the middle of an urban island filled with assorted rev-head sociopaths and killers, all there for entertainment; a televised blood sport in which the aim is to kill – with extreme prejudice and creative ultraviolence – huge numbers of other contestants.
Genre: Action
Classification: R18
Platform: Wii
Rating: 7.5
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.
