For all of the controversy and gnashing of teeth about this game, it was probably still a modest success.

It has slowly, agonizingly, made its way to about 400K lifetime sales:

And it probably would've sold better had they priced it at $39 or so from the start (there's no way a 6-hour long brawler with no replay value or online support is worth $50).

Make it less of a repetitive waggle-fest, maybe string together stages for an open world, bring back the commentary team, and Platinum could really make something of the template they created with the first game.

I would like to see another game but perhaps they should make it on PS3 after the PS3 motion controls come out.

That way they can keep the game play that made it so fun and also up the ante on the art style. Plus I have a feeling the PS3 audience would like the game more then the Wii's casual Market.

Either way it was a fun game and had a pretty cool look to it. I would be interested in seeing more of it.

Yer, the Playstation crowd really ate up God Hand didn't they?

I wasn't really impressed with Madworld to be honest, it got too repetitive too easy and was really short and the art style whilst cool and out there didn't really work in my opinion... plus it was only in 480i.

"Plus I have a feeling the PS3 audience would like the game more then the Wii's casual Market."

The casual market didn't buy this game. The lapsed gamers did. This game is a brawler. Compare it to turtles in time reshelled. The big difference is that turtles in time is (somehow) less repetitive and has much more content.

Few HD gamers would buy this. The redeeming features of madworld are the audio and boss fights, also using the chainsaw with motion controls. The rest is extremely repetitive and short. In normal mode only powerful enemies even fight back - I spent more time watching gruesome deaths than actually killing.

@reibooi, Awesome post dude... I am still ROFLMAO over that one.. PS3 gamers deserve Madworld? What makes you even think that? Someone else bought up God Hand but let me add Okami to the list of great games PS owners refused to support.

Suda had to move to Wii to get his first hit because of mainsteam follow the crowd PS2 gamers. Okami sold to more people on Wii with a smaller install base than Ps2.
Plus most PS3 gamers that ask for the game at all want it to be free or a 10.00 download. Why would they want to even bother putting it on PS3? It's been proven time and time again that PS3 owners do not support anything beyond what Sony makes or the next big me too game. Madworld isnt that type of game.

Actually Suda isn't, he has nothing to do with the port. Suda was busy with NMH2 for the Wii and now probably that horror title he was supposed to be working on. The port is being developed by one of the AQ interactive developers and is pretty much a cashgrab because NMH ended up being one of Marvelous' most succesful titles.

Plus Suda said in the past that "The game was supposed to be a one off dealio, but when the title did well, sequels do happen."

Yea, they told IGN that they would be willing to make a sequel back before the game was even released.

It would have sold worse in that case. PS3 and 360 gamers don't want a black and white gorefest. They want color.

@3.1 hmmm who are you to tell what PS3/360 gamers want.. I'm always looking for new games with some originality in it. and how would it be worst if they would have made it multiplatform? People playing mature games are playing on PS3/360

I doubt I'd buy it. I regretted paying full price for the first one, and there wasn't enough variation in the game at all. If they could scrounge up enough new content to make a 2nd, then they just should've put that in the first, instead of giving us what was essentially an empty shell of a game.

Agreed. Madworld was too narrow and too repetive to give me a reason to play the multiplayer and single-player campaign again. MadWorld 2 needs this:

-Longer game with replay value.
-Much more variety and cooler enemies. More interesting boss battles would be great (Clowns, dinosaurs, beatboxers, etc.)
-More gore and a deeper story. Jack has to return to DeathWatch to save Amala from the Organizers for example.
-Dual Chainsaws and weapon upgrades RPG style.
-A better soundtrack with artists like ( http://tinyurl.com/ydaoc82) and ( http://tinyurl.com/ybvtv7o)...
-Online multiplayer so you can chainsaw your friends to pieces instead of just doing boring offline Bloodbath Challenges offline.
-DLC
