MadWorld's 'Holiday Trailer' now a bit madder

by JC Fletcher { Dec 16th 2008 at 3:26PM }

Whenever the discussion turns to "mature" games, the gaming audience invariably displays an overt bloodlust. Such a stated desire to see blood is actually kind of strange when you think about it. We sort of understand, in that visible blood is a shorthand for completely uncensored in-game violence, and we all revile censorship. However, we are still often taken aback by how quickly an interest in non-cutesy games manifests as some kind of obsession with blood.

That said, here's the MadWorld trailer with all the censor bars taken out. In an ironic act of censorship, we've placed the trailer after the break, because children might be looking. We want to protect the innocence of those too young to figure out the post break, but old enough to figure out the play button.

I appreciate that went with a very stylized artistic style. I really do. All black and white, no shades of gray. I like that they are pushing the boundaries of what a game can look like.

However...it looked like a poop sandwich.

I'll pass.

Whenever I try to download this from the Sega press site, the sound doesn't work. Apparently it works for other people. >_>

I think this game is just the kind of game to get that the lovely lady will hate but I will love. It's been a while since I've gotten one of those on the Wii.
