Madness is a pretty good twin-stick shooter with minor flaws that could easily be ironed out. Some of the controls are a bit unintuitive, but with time, you can get used to them. But don't bother playing on a controller; it's pretty awful. Story mode doesn't catch you up on anything Madness-related, which is fine for fans, but it leaves the mode entirely lacking for anyone else and goes on far too long. Arena is going to be the best mode in the game, with you being able to create a fresh character. It features more mechanics and overall variety in gameplay. Playground is simply pitting enemies against one another and playing god, a decent side activity. I'm not the biggest fan of the Madness series and re-watched a couple episodes before playing the game, but if you're an existing fan, this is a must-play. For anyone else with a passing interest, it's worth a shot but won't be the greatest game ever.
