Maybe the art style doesn't helped Madworld. However, I loved the idea, but I admit that it is very very strange if you don't play the game to see for yourself.

Lordy, Lord! This sounds awesome!

I can't wait to see gameplay footage. The story mode sounds deep, so I'm sure I'll be replaying to find out everyone's motivation for fighting. I am sooo excited for this. If this has online, consider me owned.
Looks incredible for a Wii game.

Wow, looks really cool.

I think it's worth noting that this game is set to launch less than a year after The Conduit. Neither is GOTY caliber, but they both look to be solid titles, and I think it's pretty remarkable that a developer with ~140 staff can turn out a Wii core game every year while still churning out licensed properties and WiiWare titles.
