It should have no problem nabbing that M rating. I'm still convinced that Manhunt 2 was targeted more simply for being another Manhunt game from Rockstar--and Rockstar is the scape goat of the gaming industry. After all, Scarface passed with a Mature rating and in most ways, that game is much more graphic and negative. Hell, a major part of the game is dealing cocaine, murdering people, and dismembering people with a chainsaw. None of that was censored, and no one made any kind of a fuss over it.
MadWorld is clearly unrealistic comic-style over the top violence. It's not even remotely as "grittily realistic" as Manhunt 2, Scarface, or Godfather. There's just way more blood splatter--but then, it still isn't grossly more blood splatter than, say, Scarface or the last Mortal Kombat games. If Gears of War can get an M rating, there's no reason this shouldn't also get one.
