-------------------------------------------
Two people reviewed Madworld. M! Games gave it a 81% saying it had:
Pro:
- superb graphics
- great soundtrack
- complex but easy controls
- exciting story
Con:
- some camera issues
- boring (but short) motorbike passages
- boring multiplayer mode
Nintendo Power gave it a 9/10. Great review, happy to see it has received these scores. No scans on the actual review yet. Could someone please scan?
And now, adding this third review with my edit, IGN (which is, in my opinion, one of the most important reviewers for this game) has given MadWorld a 9.0 (considered "outstanding" on their site). I am getting really impressed! Great to see that this game is getting good reviews. Day one buy for me, for sure.
So now the average is an 8.75/10. Very glad

Sounds positive so far, including the few fans who've had hands-on.
Hard Mode sounds amazing.

That's great so far. While Nintendo Power hands out 10s and 9s to first party titles REALLY easily, it almost never gives anything higher than an 8 to third party games (Okami got a 7.5, Black Knight got an 8, ect.). This has to be the first time in a while that it has given out a near perfect score to a third party game.
As for M! Games, while 81% isn't that bad, I seriously am surprised based on their pros and cons list. I mean, they seemed to take off a LOT of points for those rather minor flaws. The list makes me think they would have given it at least an 8.75.
And with IGN, very glad to see another 9.
But whatever, an 8.75/10 average is definitely a day one buy for a game I'm this hyped about. I am still impressed with the scores Madworld has received and I can only hope it continues to get these scores.
Again, if anyone here has Nintendo Power, PLEASE SCAN IT!
Internet needs scans of that review, pronto.

IGN reviewed it, gave it an 8.9/10. I'm guessing most scores are going to be around 9 for this game tbh.

i saw the vid, it should ahve been a 10 or at least like club nintendo a 9.5 of 10, overall i love madworld, its unlike sonic games, whic makes you get angry instead here, the only reason you migh get angry is due to some of the BB challenges, but its very relaxing, for being such a violent game.

I thought the graphics were not that great. I have only ever played once, but I think they did an excellent job. I like the numerous ways to kill people.

Average score is about 8.5/10-9/10, seems really well recieved. And just like the game it's been compared to frequently, No More Heroes, it's selling at quite a sub-par rate. Granted many stores are avoiding stocking it due to the potential banning if people keep whining, but it's still not selling too well. Shame as well, the game is amazing.
