Review Viewtiful Joe (GCN)

Slyguy46

Subtle as a Ninja Pirate!
Sound: 8.5 - Could use more than one or two songs. Even though the songs are pretty good.

Voice Acting: 9.5 - The VA of the game is great, but Joe can be a little annoying sometimes.

Graphics: 10 - The graphics were a mix of Cel-Shading and Classic Action Movie looks to make the game look original and interesting, and the Characted Design was very good.

Gameplay: 9.5 - The gameplay was fun and original, with the ability to control all the effects of a movie, such as bullet-time, mach-speed and zooming in for combos. Only problem is that this seems just a little cliche, and is sometimes ovedone.

Story: 10 - This game puts you behind the wheel of Joe, an Average ... Joe, who is sucked into Movieland after his girlfriend is kidnapped by a large villain. Once their, he is blessed with Superhero powers byt the famous Captain Blue. The story is classic Action Movie mixed with a new, common day reach on how people act (While Joe only needs to say "Henshin" to go into Superhero mode, he says "Henshin a go go BABY," to add a flare to the saying.) The story also has humor, as Joe spend the first four stages of the game to come up with a superhero name, finally settling for, you guessed it, Viewtiful Joe.

Overall: 9.5 - Funny, Original, with more action than a bus load of Ninja's, this game is really great, and a must have for all Gamecube Owners.
 
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.............when I played this at ur house, the controls were annoying, and it was pretty boring.......................ah well, great review though
 
This game was once descibed as "everything Enter the Matrix should have been but wasn't". I believe that to be a good description.
 
This game was awesome but it was also exceedingly hard when you got stuck in a certain place (like when you can't beat a boss for example) and some of the levels were almost unbeatable without a few upgrades which were overpriced in the store.
