Viewtiful Joe
Viewtiful Joe is a side scrolling beat ’em up video game develop by Team Viewtiful for the GameCube. It was originally release in 2003 as a part of the Capcom Five, under director Hideki Kamiya and producer Atsushi Inaba. But the game was later port to the PlayStation 2 by the same design team under the name Clover Studio. And subtitle in Japan Aratanaru Kibō (Japanese: 新たなる希望, lit. “A New Hope”).
But the game’s story concerns Joe, an avid movie-goer whose girlfriend Silvia kidnap during a film starring Joe’s favorite superhero, Captain Blue. Also Joe is shortly thereafter thrust into Movieland, where Silvia is taken by the villainous group known as Jadow. But after accepting a special V-Watch from Captain Blue, Joe transforms into the tokusatsu-style persona “Viewtiful Joe” and sets out to rescue her.
Moreover, the gameplay of Viewtiful Joe features traditional 2D platform side-scrolling intermix with 3D cel-shade graphics. And abilities known as “VFX Powers” grant the player special actions for combat and puzzle-solving, such as slowing down or speeding up time. But Viewtiful Joe was critically acclaim for its unique visual style and gameplay, earning itself a number of awards from various media publications. And a minor commercial success, the game spawn a few sequels with releases seen on other consoles such as the PlayStation Portable (PSP) and Nintendo DS. An anime adaption of the game and a manga series were also produce.
Description
Fighting action game from Capcom Studio 4’s Atsushi Inaba. Joe was just your average, well, Joe until he was transported into his favorite action movie. But in his new environment, Joe discovers he has all the abilities of Hollywood action-hero. Also using new cel-shading techniques. And VJ boasts a unique visual style that blends colorful 3D environments with a twist take on traditional 2D gameplay. Also Joe’s power stems from 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.
Features
- Innovative platform game action.
- Vividly comic and funky cartoon-style visuals.
- Customize visual effects by executing stylish and visionary moves while playing:
Slow down: “Slow Power” inflicts detailed attacks and moves
Speed up: “Mach Speed” provides lighting speed fists of fury
Zoom: enhance the fighting experience by getting up close and person to the action - Viewtiful Joe redefines action games by mixing innovative “viewpoint” fighting into an amazing stunt-filled, action-movie universe.
Viewtiful Joe is a fresh experience that gives a major overhaul on the 2d side-scrolling fighting/platformer genre – one that many gamers have craved for since the bombardment of generic titles with bucket-loads of blood and neon-underlights.The game runs a movie motif, and this theme is carried out consistently throughout the game. It’s also the backbone of Joe’s 3 VFX abilities (slow, mach speed, zoom) which are used throughout the game for puzzles, platforming and fighting. Amazingly none of these areas feel half-baked; Capcom have worked hard to provide a cool experience in all genres. While the fighting scenes seem extremely stylish and complex, it is actually simple to pull off; a testament of VJ’s tight, intuitive and responsive controls.VJ features an excellent graphical style reminiscent of a full-motion comic, catchy music and most importantly – rewarding game play concepts that encourages the player to be creative.Viewtiful Joe is a must-have for your cube collection.

Viewtiful Joe is one of the best and most creative games out on the market today. It stars an average Joe sucked into a movie world and given powers to control time, among other things. Joe can slow and speed up time, which are both effects done much bettter than in the mediocre Enter the Matrix game. He can also zoom in the camera to make Joe more powerful. The game serves up a challenge that really is not offered much these days, which could be a good or bad thing depending on what you think. The levels are very well designed, and the bosses are awesome. A must buy.
Viewtiful Joe is a great game with stylish graphics. If you like side scrolling action games with good braincracking puzzles then you must buy (or pre-order) this game.Joe has some special moves that can help him to beat his enemies much better but the special moves are also the key to unlock the puzzles. The screenshots that you find on the net are cool but in real life the game is a little bitter nicer and beter.Also a good import game because every character speaks English and there are only subtitles in the language of the land of the rising sun.The kind of games are very good but also rare. You will fall in love when you see this game and i can recommend the game to almost everybody. There are also different difficult levels for Adults and Childeren.
Games like Viewtiful Joe are sadly hard to come by these days. With all the modern technology of the consoles we are now afforded, most developers have completely forgotten their “roots”. 2D gaming is a lost-passion, but thankfully every now and then a company like Capcom comes along and changes all the rules. Enter Viewtiful Joe.What we have here is a super hero story of wonderful proportions. The game takes place on a 2d plane featuring gorgeously animated 3d characters. The style is truly unmatched and sets Viewtiful Joe aside when compared to other titles. The beatem-up action is heightened by the use of super powers. You can slow down or speed up the action, as well as zoom in. The idea is to use your power to fight “beautifully” … or “viewtifully”. Get it now? Be careful though, if you use your powers too much, you can actually lose them!Viewtiful Joe is sure to be a hit this fall. It’s available exclusively on Nintendo Gamecube. I absolutely love this game.Pick it up as soon as it’s available. Great fighting, amazing graphics and special effects, awesome combo system and tons of challenge!
I bought this game because I used to plat it a lot when I was younger. The game works perfectly and I have no complaints.
loved it
A fantastic game from the people who would go on to make Okami and would eventually to go on to form Platinum Games (Bayonetta and Metal Gear Rising). While I don’t think it’s as good as the sequel, the experience is still top notch and I recommend this to gamers young and old, even if it is a little on the hard side.
Just when you worry that game developers no longer are going to make great 2D games, along comes Capwith Viewtiful Joe. One of the most stylish, great looking, exciting, pure fun games in a long long time. From the visuals looking like a live action comic book to the ability to slow down (your moves become more powerful) and speed up time (you appear to be multiple people and attack everyone on screen) or even zoom in to get a nicer view of the action (do extra damage and hit both of your enemies if they try to gang up on you on both sides). It’s just a great new take on the sidescrolling 2D (or as this game is 2.5D (backgrounds are 3D) action genre. NnyCW for CapCity

The game has not had any problems running, and is so much fun!
