How come I don't see people here rooting on casual titles for the PS3 or 360 the way people root on EVERY SINGLE M-Rated game on the Wii? I say this with the declaration that Peggle is an evil game. So, to balance that, I will announce, I don't care about MadWorld. I am sorry, but I don't get off throwing a guy in a dumpster and watching the lid of the dumpster slam down and cut him in half.

I wish the M-Rating would have a sub-category for, "Childish mentality" as a warning, for games that appeal to pre-teens for excessive violence or pointless sexuality.

 

 

Oh, come on. You don't have to have a childish mentality to find MadWorld fun. Sure, it might add to it, but overall it's a good game and that's what counts.

 

And it's a far more intelligent game than your average blood and gore fest. It's satirical violence and it's largely deals with how the media feeds off of violence while simultaneously condemning it (or at leas that's what I've gathered so far, but I'm only in the third city area with the zombies thus far, there are other things developing that I've yet to get a peg on). There is a difference between gratuitous childish violence and violence with a point. You wouldn't put something like "Reservoir Dogs" in the same category as "Rambo". Games like Mad World and No More Heroes may be ridiculously violent, but also satirically so and with a purpose. If anything they are the exact opposite of what richard was implying.

 

 

Very well said. I was trying to think of a way to formulate what I felt, but I had a hard time putting it into words. I'm not as far as you are (last boss I fought was Yokozuna), but I'm definitely getting the same vibe right now.

A good example of a game that is very violent, but not so in a satirical manner, is Gears of War. Not that I'm complaining about Gears either, just drawing a parallel.
