Stylised Wii title receives the expected 18+ certificate in Britain, as no cuts are made for the SEGA/Platinum game...

The British Board of Film Classification has today confirmed that SEGA and Platinum Games' stylised Wii title, MadWorld, has received an 18+ age certificate.

It was also announced by the BBFC that the game was passed with no cuts or edits made to it. Speaking to Edge Online, a spokesperson from the board commented that, “We clearly had no problems with MadWorld. If we had, we wouldn’t have classified it; it’s as simple as that.”

Madworld had come under-fire from certain UK tabloids in 2008, which were 'horrified' that such a mature title would ever be considered for the 'family-friendly' Nintendo console.

SEGA Europe is due to publish MadWorld in the UK from March.

Lets face the fact: There are much more adults who have a Wii than the kiddy-consoles Xbox and PS3.

OMG the videogame haters are going to have fun with this. The visual style is very nice, but surely it's an easy way to classify it as fantasy when it comes to the BBFC - shrewd!
