MADWORLD Official Soundtrack
includes all 20 original songs from the game produced by PlatinumGames composer
Naoto Tanaka in collaboration with HipHop and Rap artists OX, Doujah Raze, Sick-YG,
Bandy Leggz, Wordsmith, S.O.U.L. Purpose, and Optimus. Featuring explicit
lyrics, the provocative soundtrack reflects MADWORLD’s highly stylized graphics
and visceral gameplay.
"There are a total of 20 tracks on
the MADWORLD soundtrack and they are all original songs that we produced
especially for the game," said composer and soundtrack producer Naoto Tanaka. "I
would make the backing tracks (or the beats) and then we would hand them off to
these talented artists to get their performances. It was a pretty big challenge,
especially as it was my first time with this kind of collaboration, but I think
luck was on my side and it turned out to be extremely successful."
Driven into quarantine and chaos in
Varrigan City, you take on the character role of Jack in MADWORLD’s challenging
storyline, as you experience over-the-top action combined with fast and
instinctive arcade-style gameplay and a multitude of outrageous moves. With its
irreverent humor and survival of the fittest gameplay in a graphic novel world,
MADWORLD delivers a unique gaming experience on the Wii. For more information on
the game, please visit
