Viewtiful Joe

Strengths: great side scroller action game.. very innovative but old school at the same time.. extremely fun and addicting; challenging but not difficult

Weakness: some may not like the cartoonish graphics, but it's not that bad.. the enemies can be a little repetitive

Viewtiful Joe

Strengths: Frantic action, good graphics, funny storyline, off-beat, well worth the money

Weakness: Gamecube only.

If you want a great, fast, frantic and funny beat-em-up, this is definately your game. Your girlfriend gets kidnapped and pulled into the film you're watching. You follow, and turn into Viewtiful Joe, your super-hero alter-ego. What goes from there turns into an off-beat and funny beat-'em-up, where the action goes fast and the thinking goes even faster. It's simple to start with, and keeps you...

Viewtiful Joe (GameCube)

Strengths: (1) Great mix of old school 2d beat-em-up action with 3d scenery and toon rendering (2) Fun to master fighting techniques and enemy confrontations take skill (3) Character looks cool while fighting

Weakness: (1) May be too difficult for some on default difficulty setting (2) Toon graphic may turn off some

Viewtiful Joe is an brave and original offering from a newly formed development team at Capcom. The team is comprised of many skilled developers and it currently focuses on creating new and original games. Viewtiful Joe is a total success. At first, you may think that it is a simple game because of the graphics and 2d movement, however, the game demands that you master the different fighting...

Capcom Viewtiful Joe - Gamecube

Strengths: Great side scolling action game. Good Graphics and storyline

Weakness: Length of game, lack of save points

Capcom Viewtiful Joe for the Gamecube is a great platform action game which was a great surprise for me. Aside from the Mario games, there wasn't much in platforming action on the Gamecube. This game however has a funny story line as well as innovative graphics and gameplay. The game length is a little short, but for $20 this is a can't miss purchase for the Cube. Do yourself a favor and pick...

This game is pretty awesome, guys

Strengths: Beautiful graphics, challenging, many playable characters

Weakness: A bit short

This game has an interesting old school beat 'em up feel with interesting gameplay twists (zoom, mach speed, slow) and beautiful graphics. The game an be found for ten bucks at most places, and it's definitely worth it. Oh yeah, and POINTS.

Great 2D beatem-up

This is a throwback to the style of gameplay that was popular during the 8-16 bit era. Which is not to say that this is not an innovative game. Rather than churning out something that has been done a hundred times before, Capcom really showed what a modern game of this type should be like. Viewtiful Jow is an evolution of the sidescroller, proving that there is much more there to explore. This is...

Viewtiful Joe

Strengths: Fun 2D gameplay

Weakness: Not a big fan of it's game design.

Viewtiful Joe is one of the few original 2D platformers to come out on a home console. The game's title character, Joe, has super powers after going into an old movie to save his girlfriend. Capcom really let their creativity loose with Joe's powers in this game, including being able to slowdown/accelarate time that has some awesome effects on the gameplay (such as slowing down time to make a...

Solid action game

Strengths: Fun frenetic action gameplay, excellent controls, steep challenge leads to a rewarding sense of accomplishment

Weakness: Tends to be a bit repetitive, can be very frustrating when things aren't going well, save points are sometimes a bit far apart

Viewtiful Joe is an excellent 2D side-scrolling action game with some puzzle and platforming elements. The majority of the game consists of fighting off countless waves of bad guys. Successful completion of the game will require the use of several superhero powers, including the abilities to slow down time and move with superspeed. These powers also come into play when solving some of the games...
