[edit] Plot
The game focuses on the protagonist Jack, who was forced into a violent game show in which the goal is to simply stay alive. The reason for this is that a terroist organization has taken over the city in which Jack lives and have made all of its citizens fight each other. He'll take on various colossous villains and simple enemies in hopes for the grand prize of survial and $100,000,000.
[edit] Gameplay
The game is viewed from a third person perspective. The main character, Jack, wields a chainsaw for an arm, similar to Army of Darkness's Ash. Jack can perform attacks when the player swings with the Wii Remote. Besides using his chainsaw as a weapon, he can also use objects that he can find as well.
[edit] Release in Japan
The developers are unsure whether Japan (the game's origin country) will accept the intense amount of violence that is present in the game, and thus aren't sure whether the game will be released there. One thing's for sure, if it ever is the violence will have to be toned down, or the graphics altered, possibly in a similar fashion to No More Heroes.
[edit] Trivia
- MadWorld was featured on the cover of the 20th anniversary Nintendo Power.
