Product description

Product Information
In this fighting action game from Capcom Studio 4's Atsushi Inaba, players take control of an average, well, Joe as he's transported into his favorite movie. In his new environment, Joe discovers he has all the abilities of Hollywood action-hero when he becomes Viewtiful Joe. Using cel-shading techniques, VJ boasts a unique visual style that blends colorful 3D environments with a twisted take on traditional 2D gameplay. Joe's power stems from his skillful martial arts attacks, high-flying acrobatics, and time-bending special effects. Players can slow down or speed up time when attacking/ dodging enemies, as well as zoom in on the action to execute different attacks. As an added bonus for PS2 users, Devil May Cry's Dante has been included as a secret character.

Great Side Scrolling Game!!!!

Created: 10/03/09
This is a port of the Gamecube version. It features new playable characters including Dante from Devil May Cry! While the game is moderate in length, the game play is sweet. You get some cool powers like slow motion, zoom in, and super fast. Controls are easy and very accurate. Graphics are awesome! Sound is great.

The game is cel shaded which makes it look unique. I highly recommend this game. Also try to get Viewtiful Joe 2.

Excellent game

Created: 12/05/08
This is a very good game. Despite the kind of funky look on the box cover, or the main character gives you the finger all the time, it is a true master piece. I can't say enough good things about this game. As for a punch/kick fest, this game require a huge amount of skill. Learning curve is short, but to really master everything will probably take you several hours. I have played the normal mode, hard mode, and is now challenging the very hard mode. Failed more time than I can remember, but just kept goin. It's just that addicting. Puzzle of the game is very well done. It's not impossible solve the puzzle, but does take a while. Reward for passing each difficulty is an extra character you can play with. Each character has a bit different stats, which give the game a new feeling. So get it today, you will not regret this purchase.

Very Unique!

Created: 18/01/08
I'm not big on post Tomb Raider era video games. They all just seem so complex and geeky to me. I get lost easily in 3D land. Not fun.

This game is a toss back to the classic side scrollers of the past, and I love it. It is tons of fun. Sorta like Rolling Thunder meets Echo the Dolphin. The graphics are excellent and controls easy enough. Very addictive.

I highly recommend it to people who long for the classic gameplay of Earthworm Jim, Pitfall, Contra, Donkey Kong Country, etc.
