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. In his new environment, Joe discovers he has all the abilities of Hollywood action-hero.
Using new 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 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.
A detailed walkthrough, Secrets, Power-Up tips and more!
Very rarely does a game surprise me. I almost always have a pretty good idea of how the final version of a game will end up after seeing an early demo. Viewtiful Joe is one of those atypical games that surprised the socks off of me. I really wasn't expecting much. Perhaps my expectations were lowered because Capcom is having an off year and its 2D Mega Man titles have a limited appeal. Viewtiful Joe looked like an old-school platform-action game with a unique art style. And, while it certainly is those things, it's also a whole lot more. The game is one of the most imaginative experiences I've had all year. Mixing classic gameplay with modern sensibilities and an inimitable art style, Viewtiful Joe is one of the hippest-looking, slickest-playing, and coolest-feeling games around. Read More »
Capcom is all set to bring a new celluloid hero to the forefront of gaming and the company hopes that he will rock like no other. Viewtiful Joe is a super-slick movie-loving dude who's about to date disaster. Seen by many as one of the most original games at E3 2003, Capcom has really gone to town with high production values, old-school gameplay, and cool, cool visuals. Viewtiful Joe is absolutely unique. There's not a single game I can remember that's this whacky and cool at the same time. Sporting one of the weirdest and slickest game premises imaginable, fans of action platforming are in for a real treat. Read More »
