New non-photorealistic game, Madworld

Carrying on my research in non-photorealistic graphics, it is exciting to see new real-time games utilising the medium. The new and very impressive newcomer is MADWORLD an inventive third-person action game exclusively for Wii. Produced by Atsushi Inaba, MADWORLD has a unique black and white style (similar to Sin City in some ways), depicting an incredibly sharp backdrop that straddles graphic novels and 3D worlds.

As players battle opponents, they must master the use of various weapons and items found within their environment, such as chainsaws and street signs, while entertaining sports commentary adds to the third-person gameplay. With its irreverent humour and over-the-top violence, MADWORLD promises to deliver a unique core gaming experience currently missing on the Wii system. Time to invest in one for us not equipped with the Nintendo console?!
