MadWorld's style-over-substance approach falls flat

MadWorld Review

This is Sega's attempt at trying to show how ultra violent games can appear on the Wii, if only publishers are willing to put it on that console. You will be playing a 3rd Person beat'em up game, wher… Read more

At First There's Some Fun to Be Had Here, But It Quickly Get Old.

Less than the sum of its parts.

I really wanted to love this game. The Sin City art style, the over-the-top violence, the chainsaw attached to hero Jack's arm. It came close, but it eventually felt samey, even boring. The first few… Read more
