News on Plantinum Games’ MadWorld, scheduled for the Wii next year, had been rather sparse after censorship and banning rows generated in Europe. However, just recently, G4-TV spoke to MadWorld producer Christoper Kaminski and was privy to some new gameplay footage. This footage clearly depicts the gameplay in motion and the main HUD involved. Jack, the anti-hero, is also seen, capable of wielding dual blades besides using his chainsaw arm and numerous devastating grapples.
More specifically though, the sheer number of ways in which you can murder your opponent is amazing. We’ve noted some of the more fascinating ones.
- Cleaving your opponent across the torso or clean in half with the chain-saw
- Batting or tossing his sorry hide into a huge dartboard (lovingly named “Man Darts” and which features as a mini-game)
- Impaling your foe on the numerous wall-spikes around
- Grappling your opponent and splitting him apart from between the legs (did his genitalia actually fly out?)
- Stuffing a garbage bin on an enemy, lifting the two together and impaling them on a giant spike (Ayn Rand’s Fountainhead, eat your heart out)
- Ripping a street post out and burying it in your enemy’s neck
- Punching a weary foe into a giant fan and letting the vacuum phenomenon do the rest. You can also heave an enemy into a meat-grinder.
- Grabbing an enemy and letting a passing train act as one big, metallic mass of sand-paper on his back
- The head-butt of Doom. Perfect for reducing a cranium to spaghetti.
- Stabbing an enemy in the chest and the lower torso with dual blades, lifting him up and then ripping him in half.
- Slamming a metal dumpster lid shut on a foe’s head
…And many more. We shudder in anticipation of combining all of the above methods, if such a Holy Grail of bloodshed existed. We do imagine, however, that this would make Mad World’s mainstream release much tougher.
