Madworld on sale at Amazon today photo

Just this past weekend, I picked up a used copy of MadWorld. I had played the game briefly and come away feeling not that impressed. Thinking I may have simply not given it the opportunity to impress me, I thought I should give it another shot and I have to say that I'm pretty glad I did. Eviscerating street punks is an excellent way to improve on a crappy day.

If I had waited until today, I could have saved myself a little bit of green for my black-and-white-and red-all-over carnage. Amazon has the stylized gorefest on sale for $19.99 today only. At that price, I might just pick up another copy to give as a gift. 

Just remember that you only have until the end of the day or until Amazon's stock runs out to buy it. I won't say that I expect this to sell out (sales of the game being fairly weak overall), but I'm often surprised by what's no longer on offer by mid-afternoon. I wouldn't waste time, were I you.

Wii owners should definitely pick this up. I was pretty happy with it at $50, despite it being pretty short. At $20 it's a steal.

Conrad, you should totally pick it up and send it as a gift to me. That would be awesome. And I'd draws you some thank you picture.

DiMaggio is indeed awesome. Which makes this all the more infuriating.

I would definitely suggest anyone holding out or on the fence about buying this get it. It's a great game and it oozes of style, so just looking at the thing is amazing to begin with.

Even though I bought it at full retail price...or maybe like 45 dollars at Amazon when it launched, I felt like I got my moneys worth. So 20 dollars is a steal, especially if you were worried about it being short.

Seriously, Wii owners, get this game. I wish I could play all games with Greg Proops and John DiMaggio doing commentary.

"Killed with a caution sign, that's kind of ironic."
"What's so ironic about it?"
"Oh, did I say 'ironic'? Because I meant ****ING AWESOME!!"

Can't wait for a Canadian sale to pop up for this game. I'm a cheap (and usually broke) gamer who loved what I played after borrowing it for a week. If the game was sub-$20 around here, I wouldn't be able to say no... eating for a day be damned!

So, um, beating Frank is easy...? I actually didn't manage to hit him before getting the shock treatment, and ran out of lives at that stage. Guess I'll have to try again sometime soon.

When you boil down Madworld, it really comes down to two things which are awesome. Commentary and boss fights.

I love MadWorld, it's easily in my top five favorite Wii games. Anybody who hasn't should totally pick this up.

@ ejamer

yeah he's flipping easy, just stay at the top walkway and get close and slice him up. when he swings for you, dodge. repeat till he goes to sit in his chair and slice the crap out of him while he's sitting. repeat! also look for the qte moments to do extra damage.

also if you fall in the water, you can jump his electricity if you time it.

Yeah, I'll probably get it. It's still 750 goozex points, too, so if I don't like it I can always cash it in there.

Get this game! It's out of control fun. I would also recommend sticking with it for about an hour before you make up your mind. For some reason the first level isn't designed that well and the game doesn't hit its stride until you get a little further in. You won't regret the time you put in.
