I'm on a roll with these titles.
So everyone apparently forgot about the over-the-top sexual, profane and violent antics of my lord and savior Travis Touchdown as Sega's "MadWorld" has raised some ire in parents groups in the U.S.
Apparently missing the "M" rating on the game, the game is being condemned for its blood-bath heavy gameplay, according to a New York Daily News article.
MadWorld is a Wii (obv) game where you control mechanic and former marine "Jack" who has inadvertently replaced one of his arms with a chainsaw. The game is in black and white with the only color to the game coming from rampant bloodspatter as you hack your way through a group of terrorists who have turned your town into a murder-themed game show.
MadWorld is not the first M-rated title for the Wii (in fact, a fast Google search shows there are 14 reaaaalllly old games that make that cut), I guess you could argue ads for it showed up on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim late night programming lineup, but I don't buy that for one second. There are tons more M-titles with much less "THIS IS OBVIOUSLY FANTASY VIOLENCE LOL" in their character than the Tarintino-esq MadWorld. Looks like parents groups don't have much to complain about these days. Or it's a slow news day for the Daily News.
