News \ MadWorld Already Got People Complaining

Just as the Nintendo Wii is about to receive PlatinumGames upcoming Super Violent Wii Exclusive MadWorld someone starts complaining.

John Beyer, director of pressure group Mediawatch-uk, to be precise who has said ‘This game sounds very unsavoury. I hope the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) will view this with concern and decide it should not be granted a classification. Without that it cannot be marketed in Britain. What the rest of world does is up to them. We need to ensure that modern and civilized values take priority rather than killing and maiming people.'

But really should this come as a surprise as only yesterday a survey result was revealed that revealed that parents are more worried about children playing games such as GTA IV then they are worried about them drinking underage and several other things.

Lets just hope that a PAL release of the game does happen in MadWorld's true gritty form.

This game looks so awesome, but ofcourse, someone has to have a bitch about it and possibly limit the amount of fun someone else can have.

I hope it isnt censored when it comes to Aus. If it is, true violence will occur *shifty eyes*

They are just trying to protect their children..

But yes I hate it to.



Then dont buy the game for their children.



It's the parent's fault for either buying the game or letting their children buy the game. They can blame the game company all they want but unless companies start taking away the price tag and start handing them out for free, I only see a bunch of hypocrites.

Hmm, of what I know about the classification code of the OFLC and past examples of previous games, I don't think this game will encounter an RC rating by the board. When you look at a game like Ninja Gaiden II, which was completely uncensored in Australia, I doubt this game which is FAR more stylised and comic-book-like, will be RC. No More Heroes censorship outside the US had everything to do with the distributor of the game, and nothing to do with the OFLC. The only way we will get a cut version of MadWorld is if Sega are pussies.

ZOmfg. Just when we're about to get a game which could possibly rival GTA, it's almost snatched out of our hands....

It doesn't look good anyways, games based on nothing but violence are horrible. I don't mean morally, I mean literally, the games suck.
