"But CenturionRyan, just why is the Magnus sword so great? Why does it help Shadow of Rome take the title of 'the goriest game ever'?"
I'm glad you asked, anonymous internet user. The answer is quite simple ;
You can cut dudes in half with it.
Like, completely separate their torso from their lower body in a fountain of blood. Sometimes, they would break down and soil themselves just a split second before you half them.
You can do that in MadWorld with a regular chainsaw, double chainsaw, katana, dual daggers, or your bare hands.
Then you can curb-stomp the head of the still-living torso. Or, in the case of some mini-bosses, you can cut off their head and jam it on another guy's head.
Yeah, but Madworld's violence is more stylized and cartoony.
Shadow of Rome was both pretty graphically impressive for its time, and fairly realistic.
Although I'm pretty sure Mark Anthony wasn't a pyromaniac.
