In MadWorld, Varrigan City has become a target for a group of terrorists known as "The Organizers". The Organizers have taken over the city and transformed it into the setting for a game show called Death Watch, where the city's citizens are being forced to fight for their lives against mysterious enemies, for a prize of 100 million dollars.
MadWorld has been the subject of controversy in the United Kingdom due to its violent subject matter. John Beyer, director of mediawatch-uk, has expressed his distaste over the game's content, stating his desire for it to not receive a rating from the BBFC, which would effectively ban it from being sold. He stated "We need to ensure that modern and civilized values take priority rather than killing and maiming people." European fans' response to the organization have been hostile, accusing mediawatch-uk of being "cowards" and "narrow-minded bigots.
Looks like the Wii finally has a game that I need to buy. It's been a while since I've actually bought one.
(I tried to look for an already existing thread, but didn't find one.)
"Mad World has been the subject of controversy in the United Kingdom due to its violent subject matter."
God doesn't England ever stop bitching about games, I mean seriously.
Anyway it's looking good a nice visual style, something different, I can see this doing well It would be nice to have a new good Wii AND Sega game for a change.
It was much stricter in the 90's then what it is now, our rating system is the PEGI so our ratings go
U-universal
PG-Parental Guidance
12+-sutible for 12 years olds (+ means anyone under the age of 12 has to be accompanied by an adult.)
15
16
and finally our top rating is 18.
But anytime a game comes out now people in England feel the need to whine about it and try and get it banned; here games are always blamed for everything (well almost everything.)
I don't look my age myself so once I went to by a 15 rated game on my 15th Birthday and the guy woulden't serve me. (Fun times)

It's not fair that a game this awesome is a Wii exclusive. The company who made MadWorld said they only made it for the Wii because it doesn't have that many violent games. Who cares? 360 and PS3 is where all the gory games should be.

I have to point out that this is kind of a poor argument to make. The Wii hasn't had any super major software sales aside from the one game that comes with it. Considering games like Halo 3 set world records and sold nearly 2.5 million copies in it 's first week then Nintendo's number 1 highest first week grossing game of all time, SUper Smash Brothers Brawl, which only made 1.4 million. And that was topped by Grand Theft Auto 4, and I believe Resident Evil 5 is making disgusting amounts of money as well.
So I mean, if you want to use the "money" argument, I think it would actually point to the Xbox and PS3 being the better choice, as their software sales are superior to the Wii's.
Yeah, though he also reacted the same way to Super Smash Bros. not being on the 360 or PS3...
Anyhow, I might this get this game. Maybe..
If I don't end up changing my mind about the Conduit and enjoy it, I'm probably bound to get MadWorld as well sometime.
