Viewtiful Joe was one of the highest rated games of the console generation. IGN gave Viewtful Joe a 9.5, or "Outstanding" rating, citing the beautiful cell-shaded graphics and high intensity action made it one of the best action games on the Gamecube. Viewtiful Joe won the player's choice awards in Nintendo Power. The G4 television program X-Play named Viewtiful Joe the 9th best game of all time for the GameCube. Viewtiful Joe's gameplay is very unusual and draws inspiration from classic side-scrolling brawlers such as River City Ransom and Double Dragon. Joe has three 'VFX' {Viewtiful Effects} powers, which are designed to emulate camera tricks seen in movies such as The Matrix: Slow, Mach Speed, and Zoom In. All of these are used in combat and to solve the game's puzzles. Henshin a go-go, baby!Vollständige Rezension lesen
Viewtiful Joe for Nintendo Gamecube was a complete surprise to me. First off, I've been a gamer since my family first got the NES for Christmas when I was six. The NES, SNES, and Genesis were all about the side scrolling beat em' up style fighter. Since then, we haven't seen too many quality games of this genre. Viewtiful Joe however brought all that back to me on this title, and its great to be back. Viewtiful Joe is cell shaded and heavy on style, which works great. It has a simple story that's just enough to keep you into the game, but realizes that you are just here to beat people up. Speaking of putting on the beat down, I gotta say its fun. You will find yourself doing all of Joe's cool moves just because they look cool. With that said, the game is rather challenging for the casual gamer, especially in the later levels, and even more so in Adult Mode. The good news is that the hardcore gamer will be challenged, but the bad news is that the challenge will only last 6-8 hours for the experienced. There are some unlockables that might bring you back for more however. Overall the game is fun, looks great, is more of a challenge than most games on the market. Viewtiful Joe brings back a nostalgic feeling for retro gamers, even though its something new, or was, at the time of release.Vollständige Rezension lesen
This was my first time playing a Viewtiful Joe game after hearing goods things about the series, and I wasn’t disappointed. The game is fun and challenging, but not to the point of frustration and the music is amazing. The only thing I really disliked was how some of the mechanics were handled, some of the things you can do weren’t explained all that well, but it didn’t hinder my enjoyment of the game. Overall it’s a fun time and gave me more excitement to try the other games in the series, I totally recommend this game, it’s a viewtiful experience.

This game is excellent for somebody who wants a challenging game. I crave for RPG games but since Gamecube is limited and I've alomost bought all they have to offer for RPG or challenging games. To me this game has humor, plays very well with the controller setup, its challenging, and overall it's excellent. I base my decisions on buying games first through research and reviews like in IGN.com. IGN has video feed back on most games I buy and this game happen to be one of them and I don't regret buying it because its great. I have't seen the cartoon version of this game but I would sure like to see it now that I have played this game. For those who are hardcore RPG gamers this game is mission based and you can complete each Epsiode based on the number of missions it take to complet the Episode. Thats as close as it comes for RPG to me but anyway give it try you won't regret it.Vollständige Rezension lesen
For a game new to everything, having no older versions Viewtiful Joe is well beautiful! Viewtiful Joe is about a regular old comic book action movie loving guy who gets sucked into a movie world and begins to live his dream when Joe's girlfriend Silvia is captured by the villainous group known as Jadow. Joe meets his life long hero Captain Blue who grants him the power to be a super hero. From this point on in the story things get different from any game I have ever played aside from it being one of the first 2D-3D games out there at the time, this game is amazing! You get abilities like fast forward and rewind as well as pause which all have there own unique abilities depending on when and how you use them. For a game so cheesy and different it is one of the best out there to this day.
This game (which I have played before duh lol) is one of the greatest games I've ever played on the GameCube. It's definitely got its own flare to it and I love every little bit! Just wish that disc worked!

Can't help but to love the action, and overall functionality of the game. Very original, with great audio and visual appeal. However, it starts to get VERY annoying when it begins to become less of an action game, and more of a strategy type game, that revolves around solving puzzles and riddles in order to advance. This wouldn't be SO bad, were it not for the fact that it started off as a "Beat em Up" game, FIRST. On top of this, towards the later stages, the AI opponents start to get so tough, that you begin to feel LESS like a "Super Joe", and MORE like an average "Joe Schmoe." Not to mention that if and WHEN you run out of lives, you're forced to start ALL over from the beginning of the stage. Finally got tired of pulling my hair out over it, and moved onto another game. Like I said, it's a great game, and I'm sure some people will love it all the way through to the end, but if I wanted a puzzle game, I'd just play Zelda or something. I expected this to just be a fun action game, that would be straight forward enough to just play for relaxation and sheer enjoyment. Instead, I found myself becoming 10X more stressed out than I was before. Cool game, but ultimately.....just not for me.Vollständige Rezension lesen
