Ripping people's hearts out, cutting blokes in half with a chainsaw - that's what's going down in these gory new MadWorld screens, and we like it (sadistic, maybe?).
That pretty much sets the tone for the game, it seems. You play as Jack, the man with the chainsaw arm, and you brutalise people in the most horrific ways. Sega called it "comical violence" in its presentation, so that makes it okay.
The black and white graphical style looks brilliant in motion, and with blood being the only thing on screen with colour, it makes the gore even more prominent.
MadWorld was one of three games from developer Platinum Games that Sega showed off at a presentation last week and you can read more about that here.
