Just noticed there is a Eurogamer Madworld review, only 7/01 :/


http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/madworld-review


Well, we all know EG hates wii :)

Eurogamer hates everyone.

 

It's the famoues european criticism and negativism legacy in action.

 

Anyway, glad to see that it still has 87 on metacritic

The game looks amazing, fun, and all around awesome but I'm not going to pay full price for a 5-6 hour game with no real replay value (it has local multiplayer but I'm probably never going to touch that).

I might get it when it hits the bargain bin or possibly rent it, but I'm not paying $50 for that.

With most games of this length I usually end up playing them over and over. Does it look fun enough to play more than once?

I rarely play through games more than once.  If someone expects me to pay $50-60 dollars, I need more than 5-6 hours and local multiplayer.  :-/

 

 

Since you are a regular gamer (hell even a dev) I think the normal mode is not meant for you. The hardcore mode is probably meant for everyone that wants a good old challenge.

The old Resident Evil games in-game timer says you've finished it under 5 hours, but I think my first playthrough was more likely around 20 hours real time.  



5 hours of bliss or 20 hours of grinding... hmmm...

Do you buy games based on how long they are rather than how good they are?

Whyyy do you win this thread war??

OT: good review but this essentially means the only other wii game that has a chance at getting a 9 from ign is Muramasa. The conduit now won't get a 9.

The Conduit will get a 9 or higher.  I'm tired of the HURR DURR Generic Shooter on Wii HURR DURR comments.

 

On the IGN podcast Matt and Bozon mentioned that this was going to be wii's game of the year and the only game that could challenge it would probably be Muramasa. Therefore I think it's probably safe to say that The Conduit won't get a 9.

 

 

 there are still games that haven't been announced yet. who knows, nintendo could bring something crazy out this fall. i wouldn't go as far to say madworld is wii's game of the year.. maybe so far as ign knows, but there is still much more to come.

i still think punch out is going to be better than mad world though. you cant beat punch out... unless youre zelda

@smoked hostage: hurr durr? wtf does that even translate to?

the reviewer called the announcers comments obscene or whatever, you got to be kidding. its a joke man, its a send up like HOTD is.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

...and there is a reason games cannot be 20 hours of 'bliss'?

Sounds like this game is a rent if it clocks in at 5 hours.

Anyway, I'll admit I was wrong with this game, it seems to be have substance. Not to sure how I feel about the length (also depends on the skill of the player as well remember, and IGN Wii might be duds for all we know), but everything else about this game is beginning to appeal.

Because a game that's 20 hours of 'bliss' can tend to drown in its own juices.
