I just watched the video review. Why the hell does Dan Casserole always, ALWAYS want online leaderboards in all his games? Seriously. The guy would want them implemented in Harvest Moon next, I bet.

Actually Harvest Moon wouldn't be so bad with leaderboards. All comparing your total domestic gross for the year and shit :lol

 

[Alex]

I liked it You guys act like that game is X-Blades or something...

I'm probably more venomous after having spent full price on it.

 

[Eteric Rice]

I wonder if the 5 - 6 hours is for easy mode?

I imagine hard mode would take longer.

 

[nincompoop]

Is hard mode unlocked from the start or do you have to play easy mode first to unlock it?

 

[Nicktals]

I believe it's unlocked after beating easy mode.

EDIT: edited for clarification.

...oh, fine. I concede defeat. :<

 

[Shaheed79]

Jag22 is a horrible Wii troll. I can't believe anyone spent have a brain cell arguing with him lol.

Dagnabbit, Ami! Your style is impetuous, for suggesting this! :lol

EDIT: edited for clarification.

im hoping you get something for beating it on hard. seems like quite the challenge and i doubt any reviewers will beat it on hard for the review.

You unlock color!

Spoiler

That would be cool, but I just made it up so don't get excited

Why on earth would anyone want a brawler to be any more than 6 or so hours? These kinds of games are very repetitive in nature - you don't want it to be 15+ hours long.

 

[Narcosis]

Damn no one defended Heavenly sword 5 hours of gameplay.


O well I'm give it a rent or wait for a massive price drop.

There's not much to defend about the game.
How about this: It has nice cutscenes?

*shrug*

Anyways, nice 1up score. No stores in my area had the game yet today, probably still in shipping phase. I wish the games industry would switch to a release date model like every other media form.

 

[HK-47]

I recently beat No More Heroes and I am currently punching my way through God Hand. If it's as long as those, which get praised fairly often, who cares? This game looks like a carbon copy of NMH with a decent level of polish and more variety in the gameplay.

Beat-em-ups have always been like this. Short bursts of bloody excess that would get stale if they tried to stick in filler content. I don't even put DMC and Ninja Gaiden in the same genre, those games have too much platforming/puzzle bullshit.

What?


whaT?

 

[Shaheed79]

An A- from 1up! The game must suck for being so damn short to get that minus! I heard RE5 is only half the length of RE4 as well. Another suck game I must troll in it's review topic. Quickly trolls to the hydrofoil!

 

[_Alkaline_]

What?


whaT?

I laughed at that too.

 

[Haunted]

holy shit :lol

 

[GDGF]

holy shit :lol

:lol

 

[Shurs]

Did Heavenly Sword have the kind of hard mode that MadWorld has?

Not to mention that Heavenly Sword wasn't even nearly as awesome as MadWorld is.

Have you played Mad World or Heavenly Sword?

 

[Haunted]

I like how reviewers are stating that this is finally a mature/core game for the kiddie Wii console, as if Resident Evil, Call of Duty, Manhunt, Medal of Honor, Disaster etc. etc. etc. don't exist.

Gaming journalists :lol

MadWorld is a third-party exclusive for the Wii that's aimed at "hardcore" gamers and is getting excellent reviews. I should have known that this thread would be full of hate.

A lot of people in this thread are acting as though the resolution a game runs at is more important than its gameplay or overall design. Others are debating the length of the game without taking the genre and replay value into consideration. And, naturally, you have the usual "Wii games shouldn't be full price" comments thrown in for good measure. I'm not suggesting that the game doesn't have any flaws, but I find it hilarious how a game can get a 9.0 and people still feel the need to shine a spotlight on negative aspects about the game. IGN's review of the game was overwhelmingly positive. Why is this thread so negative?

because it's on that pos Wii, d'oh.

cause Bioshock and Assasin's Creed certainly didn't sell millions

multi-million dollar marketing campaigns =! selling solely on internet hype

Spoiler

Can't wait for this game, will be so good.

edit: whoever posted the Fox and the Grapes fable gets it.

 

[AniHawk]

well then give me a good example, cause i can't even think of one since launch.

Shouldn't you be giving us a good example of a 3rd party game that fails or something. Of course, you said you can't think of one, so.

 

[v1cious]

Shouldn't you be giving us a good example of a 3rd party game that fails or something. Of course, you said you can't think of one, so.

uhh... that's kinda hard, since it's pretty much all of them, except for maybe three.

you know... i'm done with this argument, let's let the NPD's do the talking.

The NPD's have been talking for months, if you want we can start listing the examples because they go back as far as December 2007 with Lego Star Wars (which stills showed up an entire December later)

 

[Volcynika]

Yeah, the NPD's, which only give us games in the top 10. That makes sense.

FLAIL

 

[ZealousD]

Have you played Mad World or Heavenly Sword?

I've played Heavenly Sword.

You can't shove a signpost through somebody's head in Heavenly Sword. MadWorld wins by default.

 

[Gary Whitta]

LOL, this game is ridiculous!

 

[AniHawk]

uhh... that's kinda hard, since it's pretty much all of them, except for maybe three.

Guy you quoted: "NMH IS A CRAPPY EXAMPLE OF A WII GAME THAT DID POORLY!"
You: "WELL THEN SHOW ME A GOOD EXAMPLE OF A WII GAME THAT DID POORLY. I CAN'T THINK OF ONE."

See what I mean. That's what I mean. I could list stuff, but then you'd look like a moron and you wouldn't like that.

 

[Gary Whitta]

This game makes Manhunt look like Party Babyz. Epic lulz!

 

[AniHawk]

This game makes Manhunt look like Party Babyz. Epic lulz!

Does it do the same thing Manhunt does when it gets really violent and go black and white?

 

[Ca1amity]

fiiiine.. i guess its down to the costco for more compressed air...
...probably some AA's too

"I got called on my BS and found that I couldn't defend it". :lol

Priceless.
