If people aren't activating the QTEs at least twice per boss battle (not counting the last one you have to do in order to finish the boss off) then they are doing it wrong.BGBW said:
I don't get what's so hard about Frank.
Stand on the platform above the water, wait for him to start an attack animation, dodge out of the way, run forward and chainsaw slice him, repeat until QTE trigger starts occurring, start the QTE, dodge his super quick moves with a flick of the nunchuck, jump down and start chainsawing his feet as he recharges, run the fuck back up once he gets up, making sure to jump whenever he uses an electric punch in the water, and finally, repeat. It was relatively straight forward. Of all the bosses I've versed so far (the last one I versed was Martin) he had the simplest attack pattern.
The boss battles, and the awesome QTEs, make this game, and basically further validate that Wii controls can greatly add to the experience when done right.

It's not the difficulty that I dislike about Frank, it's just that I find him a very boring boss battle. The

Yay, Im unbanned! (^_^)
Got the game Friday and just beat it last night, loved it and I can see alot of replay to be had (not even going to check out hard mode, died too much in normal).
But I hated most of the mummy level. The Vamp was pretty fun but over all I just hate mummies and that

Yea, I didn't like him. It took me a well to understand him cause I expected more action to be had.BGBW said:

The Frank battle is fine. If you stay up on the platform, there's your rush. You stay clear of him, because it's easier for him to get near you, and then you activate the QTE, then have to run back up the stairs. It moved nicely for me.

Actually, the platform was the main thing that killed the battle for me. I didn't feel a rush as the arena ended up feeling too small and limited. Every other boss battle until then was much more open and free-form, even in arenas of the same size.
The Frank battle just didn't work for me. Visually cool, just not very fun.

The game locked up on me as I was going up the tower! 
The pay off for whoever the grand champion is better be damn good. :lol

Just beat it... surprised nobody has mentioned yet that Alexander O. Smith translated Matsuno's scenario script for this game (no wonder it's very good).
Definitely a fairly short game, but I can see a decent amount of replay, with Hard mode and trying to rack up high scores. Worth the $40 I paid for it from Amazon.
Bosses are pretty easy on normal to spam through by dodging and using the chainsaw, except for Frank.
Game only froze up on me once.

. . . I can't even reach Lil Eddy on hard mode! 0_o
I didn't know so many people were having problems with the game freezing. It never freezed on me...and I have had quite a few Wii games freeze on me come to think of it. Overall it was a pretty fun game. I definitely warmed up to it the more I played. Some of the dialogue was grating at times, but not a big enough detriment to taint the entire experience.

Small market is small. I'm surprised MadWorld had a higher debut than Chinatown Wars though. I always got the impression everyone here was a GTA nut.
Even though our market is small I hope MadWorld stays up on the charts for a few weeks, much like Overkill.

Picked this up today. So far it's fun, but I'm having trouble getting a hang of the gameplay. Any tips on how to make the combat more fluid / pick up bigger combos? So far with every guy it's:
1. go find something to stick on him (barrel, tire, sign)
2. Proceed to beat him up a bit
3. Then throw him at some death hazard.
Since just chainsawing or beating up guys seems to give less points, I repeat that adnauseam
The violence of it is fun, but I've only gotten the bottom two 'tiers' of combo scores, and haven't combo'd more than three guys at a time.
How can I get the hang of higher scoring / more fun combat?

I would just move around the map using different tricks to keep it interesting. A few things you can tryTheEastonator said:
-backflip -> A for a dashing punch
-hold forward combo does a big punch kind of like the backhand
-use A and B finishers
-horizontal saw 2-3 guys at once
-grab, headbutt to stun, do as you please or keep butting until their head blows up
-daze or item a guy infront of an environmental hazard then throw another gut or two into him so they all hit it
-make sure to use weapons when you get them
some harder stuff that i did not do much
uppercut -> saw finish
jump -> saw

1. Use a tire/barrelTheEastonator said:
2. Use a Signpost, chandelier or other stabbing weapon
3. Grab the enemy and take him as close as possible to another stabbing weapon
4. Repeat step 2
5. Repeat step 3
6. Repease steps 4 and 5 as long as you can
I managed to stab a single enemy (not a zombie) with seven different things before I threw him on some spikes
Anyone else disappointed with how they got a bit lazy and
only started having 1 Bloodbath Challenge per level, even re-using previous ones? I like Death Press II since it felt different, but Money Shot II and Man Darts II were exactly the same but with different enemies. The Strip seems like it'd be perfect for some funny casino-themed Bloodbath Challenges. A pity.
Dascu said:
I think it would have to do more with time and budget. Not to mention that coming up with challenges that are unique and entertaining and that fit well into the mechanics of the game is probably not an easy task. I think the Dev blog on the challenges offers a lot of insight into their creation.

Just beat the game...
HOLY FUCK, what an astonishing experience.
I had a blast with it, really.
I'm so sorry it's not selling like hot cakes, this is truly a gem every Wii owner should get.
Kudos to Platinum Games for creating a kickass game like this one... now go Bayonetta go!

All of their games (Okami, God Hand, Madworld and the upcoming Bayonetta) deserve to be in as many hands as possible. They are honestly some of the finest and freshest games I've ever experienced.

As impossible as it is, wouldnt it be awesome if a box set titled "Clover/Platinum" released that contained every game, piece of art, music, and developer story ever to come from them?AceBandage said:

Originality is what Clover and Platinum do best, which makes sense given that that's what they were initially founded for.AceBandage said:
We're not worthy of such a thing (and never will be thanks to Capcom owning the rights to all of Clover's work).abstract alien said:

Is there any reason why this game is not displaying in full screen? Granted I haven't played Wii in a LONG time, but I remember SMG and SSBB displaying in full screen. Why is this doing this?
