This Comic Book-style tale (published by Sega) follows Jack Cayman, a chainsaw-wielding contestant in the world's goriest game show: Death Watch. Contestants, with sponsors, compete in a vicious bloodbath to see who will emerge as the victor. The show has temporarily taken over a Manhattan-like metropolis island, leaving authorities in a panic. Jack is one of the contestants under the hand of sponsor "XIII," and his boss has high hopes for him. There's more to Jack than there appears on the surface, however...A notable feature is the game's distinctive graphical style, which utilizes cel-shading and features only three colors (black for shadows, white for anything that's not shadowed, and red for the tons and tons of blood). This game was the first title made by PlatinumGames, which includes some of the developers from the now-defunct Clover Studio, creators of Viewtiful Joe, Ōkami, and God Hand. The game was written by Yasumi Matsuno, of Final Fantasy Tactics and Vagrant Story fame, along side Ken Pontac and Warren Graff (of Happy Tree Friends fame) and JP Kellams (Platinum's American Producer from its founding until 2015.)A game was released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, called Anarchy Reigns (Max Anarchy in Japan), featuring Jack and a few other characters from this game, in which they show their true colors.In no way related to either the 1963 ensemble-cast comedy It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World or the 1982 Tears for Fears' song. | |

Rasputinian Death | |
MadWorld (Video Game) / int_13992073 | comment |
Rasputinian Death: You get more points the more over-the-top your kills are. As a result, you can often shove multiple posts through a mook's neck before they finally drop dead. Bosses tend to get this even worse than the common mooks. The Yokozuna in particular gets beaten up and sawed by Jack, impaled by a dozen or so pointy objects (including a knife through his head), electrocuted until he's smoking, and finally killed after being shot out of a cannon into a volcano, which erupts as he hits the peak. | |

Villain Song | |
MadWorld (Video Game) / int_1ccad9a3 | comment |
Villain Song: The final boss themes, "Look Pimpin'!" and "So Cold", are sung from his perspective, and are, respectively, an upbeat tune about how Jack is going to die and a bitter, enraged tune about... how Jack is going to die. To a lesser extent, "You Don't Know Me", the song that plays during the Rin-Rin and Eliza fights, is "evil girl power". | |

Cruel and Unusual Death | |
MadWorld (Video Game) / int_1e584efa | comment |
Cruel and Unusual Death: Oh ho ho, yeeeees. It is practically the spirit of Madworld, seeing as giving mooks a horrible end nets Jack more points. The bosses are no exception to the rule, and arguably get worse than the Killseekers. It starts with Little Eddie getting his face beaten in with his own mace and then smashing his entire head into his neck as a coup-de-grace, and it only gets worse from there. This comes with an actual in-story reason for the sadism; the fans want a show, and giving them one earns Jack more support from Sponsor XIII as his ratings increase. | |

Crapsack World | |
MadWorld (Video Game) / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: A world where not only can Deathwatch, a Blood Sport where hundreds are made to kill each other in creatively gruesome ways, be set up on a kidnapped island by one pharmaceutical company, but a world where apparently this has been going on for centuries. On the other hand, Deathwatch is explicitly for settling conflicts that would lead to a lot more people dying in war, instead of dozens of elite fighters and hundreds of mooks. The current Deathwatch competition not having any real motive besides the mere spectacle of it all (plus advertisement and profit for the pharmaceutical company's viral cure) is what inspires Lord Gesser to help Jack bring the competition down. | |

Blood Sport: Death Watch, a brutal game show where the participants fight to the death while the audience places bets on who will win. A description of Deathwatch in the instruction manual notes that the game is a purely underground event that is sponsored by above-ground millionaires, crime lords, and "Neo-aristocrats" of global conglomerates. | |

Hidden Depths: It's implied that Kreese Kreeley likes to play golf when he's not taking part in Deathwatch. At one point, it's revealed Howard has a thing for poetry, particularly haiku. According to some of the announcer chatter, Von Twirlenkiller is a rather accomplished bassist in his own band, which he keeps seperate from his career in Deathwatch because he wants to succeed in that on his own merits. | |

However, when you fight him, the trope gets played straight as all hell when he gets pissed off and "So Cold" starts playing. Also, the announcers claim that he's not even actually black. | |

Even Evil Has Standards: Despite being a foul-mouthed violence-loving psycho, Kreese Kreeley makes it clear in several lines that some of "Buckshot's" quirks and kinks disgust even him. Though Kreese killed multiple people while participating in Death Watch, he discourages animal cruelty, saying that it's a sign of sociopathy. Jack is a cold murderer, but he isn't fond of Deathwatch targeting civilians population for their latest game. Lord Gesser was disgusted by the fact that rather than actually deciding the fate of the known world, the current Deathwatch games were merely meaningless slaughter for fun and profit. As such, he helps Jack take down the games. | |

Forced Prize Fight: The whole setup for the game revolves around Deathwatch, an internationally-televised event where murderers and fighters from countries around the world are sent to kill each other to settle diplomatic disputes. The Varrigan City Deathwatch has no actual reason to be going on beyond making the Organizers and the Fallmont company money, and is otherwise just killing for the sake of killing, which is why Jack showed up to compete in the first place. | |

Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism | |
MadWorld (Video Game) / int_372bc105 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: Discussed Trope. Jack and the two allied voices in his ears are all on differing ends of the spectrum, but have similar goals and some hidden motivations that brings them together in certain goals: Jack is firmly The Cynic, having retired from the games because he felt there was nothing past the pointless violence in them anymore. However, he still doesn't want that violence spilling out of the games. Amala is The Idealist, and believes the games are archaic, and the Justice Department actually capable of living up to its name and responsibility. Lord Gesser is between the two, in that he, as one of the most powerful people on the planet, knows the full extent of the conspiracy and the violence of human nature, but believes in the ideals of the games themselves, to bring about a clash of regimes and ideals with more minimal casualties than all out war. All three of them find the current Deathwatch to be a perversion of human nature, and the the Bureau and Lord Gesser recruit/sponsor Jack as the prime candidate to actually do something about it. | |

Single-Stroke Battle: Played with. When you beat the Shogun and it's time to finish him off, he jumps to the top of the roof so that you can dash and slice him to death. Jack knocks him backward onto a conveniently placed spike instead. A variation of this appears in the Final Boss, where Jack must try and counter The Black Baron with a Cross Counter. If he doesn't, he suffers the hand-to-hand combat version of a Diagonal Cut. | |

Saying Too Much: Naomi accidentally reveals that she was the one who arranged her supposed kidnapping when Jack concludes that her father was responsible. She has just enough time to cover her mouth from her mistake before Jack sends her flying and knocks her out with a pimp slap. | |

Butt-Monkey: The Black Baron, main host of Death Watch, is constantly thrown into his own death traps by his girlfriend. Even when it turns out he's the Final Boss, every time he recovers from a power struggle down to the end of the battle, it's still pretty hilarious. | |

I'm Cold... So Cold... | |
MadWorld (Video Game) / int_4ab9720d | comment |
I'm Cold... So Cold...: The game works this trope into the form of a song, aptly titled "So Cold", which takes over the previously boastful boss theme halfway through the final fight. Funnily enough, this is actually a Subverted Trope as this is where said boss gets even more dangerous, and the lyrics are more about the singer boasting about how he's "so cold" (that is, he's vicious and remorseless). | |

However, she also has a large set of horns on her head that can make her look like a succubus. | |

Those Wacky Nazis | |
MadWorld (Video Game) / int_697b5232 | comment |
Those Wacky Nazis: Von Twirlenkiller speaks with a German accent and his character design is comparable to a Nazi officer. Big Bull Crocker is suggested to be a Neo-Nazi due to the number 88 being emblazoned on the back of his jacket; in political terms 88 stands for "Heil Hitler". Black Baron is a subtle example, at first he's shown to be a stereotypical pimp who is then revealed to be the Deathwatch Champion. His design has a lot of Nazi imagery; his jewelry (which looks like "88", which is a political term for "Heil Hitler"), his lightning tattoos, and his hair have lightning bolts designed into them, which closely resemble the Schutzstaffel (SS) bolts. Kreese Kreely's comment also indicates that The Baron isn't actually black, which reflects the racist ideals of the Nazi regime. His name is also in reference to Michael Wittmann A.K.A "The Black Baron". Who was a German Waffen-SS tank commander who was credited with the destruction of 138 tanks and 132 anti-tank guns, along with an unknown number of other armoured vehicles, which made him one of Germany's top-scoring panzer aces. | |

MadWorld (Video Game) / int_7a4a1676 | comment |
Comedic Spanking: Jack defeats Elise by pulling her over his knee and slapping her behind four times, with the fourth hit sending her flying through a window. It's likely supposed to be comedic because of the game's overall tone, but considering Elise's design, it could also be considered a Kinky Spanking. | |

Mini-Boss: Several different ones for different areas; Big Bull Crocker, Yee Fung, Tengu, Death Blade, Big Long Driller, and the Cyber Slashers in order of appearance. They have surprisingly high health, a variety of attacks, and the ability to get into Power Struggles with Jack. Naturally, you tangle with nearly all of them in the stage leading up to the final boss (Death Blade and the Cyber Slashers, for whatever reason, weren't in on that action). In that stage, the Quirky Mini-Boss Rush turns Yee Fung into a Mook Maker, has Tengu flanked by dozens of ninjas, and finally has two Bulls and a Driller. | |

MadWorld (Video Game) / int_8b606a51 | comment |
There Is No Kill Like Overkill: The player can simply walk up to the Mooks and beat them up to kill them, but that awards barely any points required to proceed. Instead, you are encouraged to kill the enemies in increasingly crueler ways, such as impaling them with objects scattered around the arena before shredding them with a meat grinder, preferably while getting other mooks to die at the same time. Justified, as the main attraction of Death Watch is the spectacle of violent brawls where savagery and brutality are emphasized over straight fights. | |

Since then, it's often been used to settle wars, feuds, and other such stuff. | |

Aristocrats Are Evil | |
MadWorld (Video Game) / int_96144372 | comment |
Aristocrats Are Evil: The upper class of Varrigan City bribed Deathwatch to not only keep them safe during the madness, but to also give them front-row seats and simulate a Distressed Damsel plot using one of their own as an actress for their entertainment. Furthermore, one of these seemingly innocent upper class, Leo, is the main reason Deathwatch even took place in the city, just so his family could regain losses of money; they even helped install the death traps. Lord Gesser is an avid supporter of Death Watch prior to the game starting, and he isn't working to stop the current event because of moral qualms about depopulating Varrigan City, as he's in full support of the rich abusing their power; the only thing that bothers him is seeing Deathwatch reduced to a contest for mere gambling. He wants to see the grand clash, and destruction, of ideals and ideologies. | |

Dumb Muscle | |
MadWorld (Video Game) / int_a18fda9c | comment |
Dumb Muscle: Little Eddie is easily several times Jack's size, wields a spiked ball bigger than Jack's entire body, and is gigantically muscular, but from his behavior, it's clear that he's more brawn than brains. Little Eddie loves his big bada-booms! While the pre-fight intro text describes Frank as "brainy" in addition to brawny, this proves an Informed Ability; Kreese specifically points out that he's "dumber than a box full of blondes, but strong as shit and can zap the ass right off of you". He may even be dumber than Little Eddie — at least Eddie could put together complete sentences. Kreese seems to be a case, being a former Death Watch contestant for the muscle part, with not getting Little Eddie's nickname being ironic (or even understanding the word "ironic"). He occasionally complains about Howard using big words (most of which aren't very complicated at all) and usually responds to him doing so with threats. | |

MadWorld (Video Game) / int_a8826e1e | comment |
Giant Mook: In every area: the thugs with motorcycle helmets, spiked armor, and chainsaws; the firebreathers; the masked ninjas; the gardeners; the mohawked guards. Slightly harder to take care of than the usual enemy, but still nothing a solid chainsaw swing won't fix — though unlike normal baddies, these guys tend to block often. | |

Bizarre Beverage Use | |
MadWorld (Video Game) / int_a8d644f6 | comment |
Bizarre Beverage Use: The Money Shot minigame has the player shaking bottles filled with a fizzy drink and jamming them into enemies' throats. Once the cap pops from the air pressure, the stream catapults the mook into the air, with the player scoring points if the enemy is impaled in one of the spikes spread throughout the arena. | |

Ms. Fanservice: The Black Baron's scantily clad ho (Mathilda), who always strikes a sexy pose after killing him. And there's those well-placed spikes... RinRin is among the more conservatively-dressed of the two female bosses, but her Qipao-inspired outfit still shows of a lot of skin, mainly her legs. Also, her Power Struggle looks like she is riding Jack. Nothing compares to the huge breasts of Elise. Which the commentators love commenting on. | |

Putting on the Reich | |
MadWorld (Video Game) / int_bcba27a1 | comment |
Putting on the Reich: It seems that DeathWatch may have had collaborations with Nazi Germany due to the number of neo-nazis in the game. Since the Nazis were firm believers of eugenics, it's not hard to assume why DeathWatch would find the Nazi party so appealing to them. It's not clear though if the Nazis actually participated in the games, or if DeathWatch took elements from them. Big Bull Crocker has 88 emblazoned on his jacket, referencing "Heil Hitler" in numerical code. Von Twirlenkiller is dressed like a German military officer from the Third Reich. The Black Baron has some nazi connotations due to his lightning tattoos across his body and his hair has dual lightning bolts designed into them, which closely resemble the Schutzstaffel (SS) bolts. His name is also in reference to Michael Wittmann A.K.A "The Black Baron". Wittman was a German Waffen-SS tank commander who was credited with the destruction of 138 tanks and 132 anti-tank guns, along with an unknown number of other armoured vehicles, which made him one of Germany's top-scoring panzer aces. Finally, he is implied to be a white guy who tries to be as offensive for the black people as possible. | |

Anti-Hero: Jack doesn't help people. He kills them. Jack never smiles or displays genuine satisfaction in his work, and even left Deathwatch after he got tired of the killing. He doesn't target civilians, excusing it away that he came here to kill people who actually put up a fight. He's disgusted at Deathwatch's latest choice of venue – and how they acquired it (murdering all the civilians with a lethal virus and letting the psychos do the rest, while also promising a cure to the civilians on the condition that they become participants themselves). | |

Turns Red: Almost every boss or mini-boss does this when hit hard enough. For example, Big Bull Crocker's eyes will glow white when damaged enough or stabbed with a caution sign. | |

Expy: Big Long Driller is one of Big Bull Crocker. Essentially the same guy with a different mask and weapon. Holmes is a very, very vulgar Expy of Fode, the Pod Race announcer from Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. They are voiced by the same guy (Greg Proops), after all. | |

Gorn: This game has tons of it by the truck load. Whether it's impaling a guy with a stop sign, slicing him apart with a chainsaw, dicing him up with knives, drilling him to pieces... rest assured that if you can make a dude bleed, he will, and he will do it a lot. Not to mention being able to hack people apart with relative ease. The black and white graphics really make it apparent, as there's few other colors otherwise, letting the gore stand out even more. During the credits, the commentators are shocked that only one man did the blood effects: | |

There Can Be Only One: During the final battle, Kreese will announce that "There can be only one number one in this fight to the death!" When Howard retorts that it's a mathematical fact that there can only be one number one, Kreese has an outburst and angrily shouts "For the last fucking time, NOBODY SAID THERE'D BE MATH!" | |

Black Face: Black Baron is hinted to be a white man covered in blackout tattoos by the commentators. Due to this, his appearance in Anarchy Reigns is called "Blacker Baron" in reference to him actually being a black man rather than a white man in blackface. | |

Kreese. According to the commentary, he has survived (among other things) getting his scrotum ruptured by Jude, a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown at the hands of Rinrin, getting Frank's hand up his ass, bizarre experimentation in a laboratory, and an alien abduction. | |

Jerkass: The commentators of the Deathwatch games usually make some pretty rude gestures and remarks while Jack tears apart as many enemies as possible. The best example of their jerkassery is in the credits of the game, where they tear apart many of the game designers. | |

Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick: When "The Strip" stage is first shown, the camera begins with a shot of Jack riding his motorcycle down a typical neon-lit casino street, then pans out to reveal more casino-themed decorations such as pinball bumpers, flashing lights on attractions, and... a wall of bloodied spikes. | |

Deconstruction Game | |
MadWorld (Video Game) / int_f062ed89 | comment |
Deconstruction Game: Of the very type of entertainment it displays. The story does not hesitate to point out how completely unethical and depraved Deathwatch actually is, with the people that enjoy watching it shown to be cruel and almost outright amoral (the closest thing to an exception is Lord Gesser, and it's only because Deathwatch has become a spectator sport for gambling, not because of the innocent people that die to set it up), and the cutscenes outside the plot slowly revealing to the player just how horrific the events that had to take place to set up Death Watch were and how terrible the people setting it up really are. | |

MadWorld (Video Game) / int_f10d3363 | comment |
Distracted by the Sexy: Elise's power struggle. Jack catches Elise's wrists and forces them apart, giving him a good eyeful of her chest. Either the player fulfills another QTE (an upward stroke with the Wiimote) to snap out of it and headbutt her, or she takes the opportunity to reverse it and drain your health. | |

MadWorld (Video Game) / int_fbd285b7 | comment |
Comically Missing the Point: During the boss battle against Elise, one of the commentators will occasionally comment how deadly or terrifying she is, only for the other one to reply that she has an "awesome rack, though". After witnessing a decapitation, Kreese makes an off-hand comment that a cockroach can live for a week without its head. Howard will then complain that he went through eight years of marriage without any head. After Jack throws a Mook into a meat grinder back-first, Howard will ask Kreese if he heard the joke about the butcher who backed into his meat grinder and got a little behind in his work. When Kreese doesn't get the punch line and says no, Howard furiously tries to explain the joke, but gives up mid-sentence. When Kreese asks when is lunch, Howard simply says it's after breakfast. | |

Cutscene Power to the Max: A minor one. When facing the Shogun in a power struggle, Jack does a Barehanded Blade Block first, and then a regular block with his right arm and knee. Jack cannot block outside of that quick time event, as he can dodge only. | |

Everything Trying to Kill You: as with Death World, surprisingly inverted, as the only elements of the game that can directly harm you are the mooks and bosses. The environment itself, with all the spike walls and explosive barrels and whatnot, won't actually harm you for the most part. Instead, you use the environment to aid you in making the mooks' deaths as spectacular and gruesome as possible so the crowd gets a show. | |
