MadWorld Trailer & MadWorld Hating

Rarely when writing a blog is it a good thing to say you’re ’speechless’. That is what this most recent MadWorld trailer did to me. I’m floored which is a hard thing to do with a video game. I like to think I’m a connoisseur, and that I’ve seen it all. There are moments though that take breaths away, and this MadWorld trailer is one of them. Instead of typing OMG around a hundred times I’ll just let you check the new trailer out yourself.

Of course this wouldn’t be a blog post unless I had something to complain about, which brings us to the bad news about MadWorld. Calling for the ban of a video game isn’t all that shocking. John Beyer, director of Mediawatch-uk is calling for such a ban on the heavily hyped MadWorld. It should be noted for American readers that this is only for the ‘UK’. He doesn’t want the game to be classified by the British Board of Film Classification. If this were to occur it would essentially make MadWorld illegal to purchase in the UK.

Is it just me or is it a little early to judge MadWorld. I mean sure we’ve seen a couple of trailers, but how can you place judgement on a game that isn’t even out yet. Let alone ready to show gameplay footage. The most recent trailer has left me impressed, but that doesn’t mean I’m ready to deem the game great or not. I think Beyer could heed the same advice, because until the game is ready for release who’s to say it’s suitable for a UK purchase or not?
