If this game wasn't F2P, it probably would have been even lower in terms of the rating. But regardless, it's literally just OW 1 but with some new characters that should have been included as an update. Literally nothing else to be said.
Only true legends play it with the Gamecube controller
Had a lot of nostalgia for this game back on the Gamecube, but it gets way too repetitive for my liking. TMNT fans will like this one though.
Played this on the Cowabunga Collection for the PS5
An improvement over the original game, but still has some clunky elements from the original as well. The SNES version is a better option.

Only play this on the Cowabunga Collection. Trust me, it's better off that way.

Enjoyed it a lot more than it's arcade counterpart, improving on many aspects from that version. A really good beat 'em up.

I am an easy seller when it comes between hack and slashes, and MadWorld is no acception to that. I love the game's art style and visuals. It has a very noir like setting to an already bloody game and I dig it. The soundtrack is top notch. The acting is great and the gameplay is solid, albeit a bit repetitive but that's what you expect from a game like this. But there's two factors for me that really holds this game back.
First off, the camera. We don't have full camera control, which is fine, but the automatic camera can really get in the way when it comes between fighting enemies, as they surround you and making it hard to take them out. Alongside with not seeing an enemy's attack.
Secondly, the motion controls. I don't know if this is a me issue or not, but the Wii remote and nunchuck controls felt very unresponsive at times. Especially when it comes between trying to pull of those sick finishing moves. It felt super janky for my liking and hindered my experience with the game. I wish there was an option to have other controller types so that way I would have been a bit more lenient on this. I get they wanted to utilize the Wiimote and Nunchuck a lot, but it still feels very off at times.
MadWorld is a solid game all around, and I did enjoy my time with it. But the only reason why it's getting 2 and a half stars is because of those two issues I pointed out earlier, mostly the latter. It is filled with jank at times and it really soured my experience with the game. With that said, I hope this game gets a remaster on the Switch soon and has better motion controls. If so, I will gladly bump this rating up to a high one.

Might be a BIT too chaotic for my liking, especially in the gameplay department, but this is still a banger of a game. Can't wait for Bayo 3.
A pretty ok fighting game that I used to play when I was a kid, but not as much as Ultimate Ninja 2 and 3.
2006
I think the reboot made me appreciate this a bit more now
The story is cool and the soundtrack just slaps so hard bro. Sonic Youth, Nas, MCR, Public Enemy, DMX. Need I go on? Just a shame the game is janky at times, and on Gamecube anyways, suffers through some horrendous frame drops.
Not only is this a massive improvement from JFA, but this might as well be the best game in the entire trilogy. The last case is without a doubt my favorite too. Overall, absolutely wonderful.

Dead Rising 4 is pretty much my Devil May Cry 2. I hate this game. As someone who classifies himself as a fan of Dead Rising, this game pretty much took away almost everything that made the series enjoyable. I get they wanted to make the game beginner friendly and try to draw in new people, but this was not the way to do it. It's glitchy, unfunny, and they ruined Frank West and everything that made the series fun to begin with. This game will be the reason why we won't be seeing Dead Rising again in years, if not at all. The only reason why this isn't half a star is because I kinda like the Christmas theme, and the exo suit is kind of cool.

Better than the first game, but not by much. The level design just isn't really cutting it out for me man. The OST slaps though!
1987
Got annoyed by that one boss while at Wily's Castle so I just stopped playing it. Definitely first game syndrome alright.
