It's easy to overlook Sega these days, but some interesting stuff is coming out of its doors lately, with such crazy action titles as Bayonetta and this, the bloodsoaked black-and-white brawler that is MadWorld.
From the boldly colorless graphics to the gorgeously excessive violence, this is definitely a brave choice for a Wii title -- so brave in fact that certain morons in the UK already want it banned. Controversy aside, I'm loving the style of this thing and can't wait to give it a go myself.
Also, ninja: it has them.

I've never thought about this before, but I guess a silver lining in the Wii's restrictive hardware is developers not having the zomg awesome next gen graphics to lean on, forcing them to come out with something a little bit different to set their game apart. And I'm always up for 'different' as long as it's done well.
With this and Bayonetta, not to mention their work as Clover, Platinum Games has become my new favorite developer.
This is looking great.
I can't wait to give this a try.
I hope they can apply some anti-aliasing on those polygon corners to smooth it out and make it look a little less last-gen.
In fact it looks a tad Dreamcast like with the stiff faces in the last trailer.
They are probly not focusing on the graphics all so much as they are on its style and gameplay so it might work out on the end.
Though still, I'd think it wouldn't hurt, its also not like the machine can't handle a little polygon smoothing.
