MadWorld Price Plummets in the UK
Some online UK retailers have resorted to slashing the price of Platinum Games first Sega published title MadWorld to try and shift more copies. Released only two weeks ago to the day one online retailer Gameplay has slashed the RRP price of £34.99 to just £16.99.
They aren’t the only ones. Game is selling it for £19.99 while it’s going for the slightly lower price of £17.99 at Gamestation.
Good news for ‘hardcore’ Wii gamers looking to buy a title with substance but bad for Sega who’s title just hasn’t performed well in the UK at all appearing towards the bottom of the UK All Format Chart on week one before vanishing off the top 40 altogether in week two.
All of which is a shame because MadWorld is certainly a lot better than most of the games released for the Wii recently. How good? Well TSSZ News will have a review of the game up towards the beginning of next week.

It’s a shame how this game is selling…
Gotta have my Wii back and play this awesome game.
MadWorld isn’t awesome. It was way overhyped just for its look (which gets boring after a while) and its excessive violence. What’s so great about violence anyway?
The PAL version is even disappointing from a technical point of view. It runs in 50 Hz mode only, no 480p and not even 60Hz/480i. That’s a crying shame.
I enjoyed MadWorld very much, got it the first day of release….maybe I should’ve waited a little and saved myself some £££!
Shame how the game is selling though, it deserves to do much better.
To be honest. I think everyone is done waiting for “hardcore” games on wii and just cant be bothered.
