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.
A detailed walkthrough, plus Secrets, Power-Up tips and more!

With a few tasty new reasons to make it interesting all over again, there's little doubt that this new rendition of VJ will not fail to please. Read More »
