preview of mad world

Anyone looking for the M-for-mature Wii game to knock his or her socks off this year can stop looking: MadWorld has arrived! Or, it will on March 10, 2009, but until then, IGN has a great preview of this upcoming Wii title with some pretty great description of gameplay and a lot of interesting info about the developers, heavy hitters responsible for some of the best horror games out there. MadWorld is all about the chainsaw, and apparently derives some of its plot from the movie The Running Man ["well I hope you leave enough room for my fist, because I'm going to ram it into your stomach!"]. This game looks cuh-razy in many ways, from its stark black and white animation style to the main character's arm-attached chainsaw to the wide variety of gruesome methods of killing dudes.
Suddenly, a gigantic dartboard rises from the street and the main character begins swinging away with a baseball bat, violently knocking foes airborne and at the board for points. "Splaaaaaaaaat!" reads a comic-book-like font as characters are sent spinning toward the giant target. This is a mini-game and it's called Man Darts. No -- seriously.
