Pros: action, frame rate never drops, mach speed/matrix mode
Cons: kind of short
Summary: When the going gets tough, the tough gets old-school. There’s a motto that old time gamers can live by. Games these days seem to be hit or miss, with old-school games STILL being preferred over today’s games. Capcom decided to take the good of ... read more

Cons: Story,only 2 difficulty modes
Summary: First of this is a very cool game. Its kinda a old school 2d/3d fighter/adventure game. It kinda looks like paper mario without the paper. Its kinda hard to explain. Graphics 10/10 These new original graphics are wonderful. They are a mix of ... read more

Pros: combat system, interesting "old school" graphics, unique gameplay, good sound, replay
Cons: no multiplayer, limited replay, "Just Go For It" (see review for info.)
Summary: Viewtiful Joe is possibly Game Of 2003 in my books. Of course, I haven't played Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic, the real Game Of '03. So who am I to judge, right? Well, I guess I'll just say that Viewtiful Joe gets my vote for the Nintendo Power ... read more

Cons: Seven of the toughest stages I've played in a long time.
Summary: Just when I was beginning to think that the current video game climate was wallowing in rehashed gameplay and the lack of innovation, Capcom comes busting through my wall like the Kool-Aid man to b**** slap me different in the form of Viewtiful Joe. ... read more

Pros: Visuals, challenge, personality, intricate fighting system... you name it.
Cons: Perhaps too hard for younger or less skilled players.
Summary: Viewtiful Joe is a little masterpiece, infused with all the characteristics that give a game "classic" status. Older gamers will immediately recognize how strongly it invokes the 16-bit era -- a side-scrolling, two-dimensional beat-'em-up with a heavy ... read more

Pros: Great graphic style, smooth animation, neat concept
Cons: Terrible controls, non-intuitive gameplay
Summary: There comes a certain point in one's video gaming life, if you stick with it long enough, where simply clearing a game isn't good enough. This is the point in which you wish for a Gaming Olympics, because you're playing with style. Maybe it's in trying ... read more

Pros: Viewtiful graphics, gameplay, controls, story
Cons: Lazily added on characters, a little hard, may appear too kiddy though it isn't
Summary: Intro: There is no proper way to start this review. There's no clever way I can start it without aping someone else's style so I'm just going to say it outright. Viewtiful Joe is perfect in every way. If I sound biased, it's because I am. I'm biased havi ... read more

Cons: None
Summary: Just to clarify, "Viewtiful" means "Beautiful View". Now, just to the ladies reading right now: You FINALLY get your couch-potato boyfriend to come with you on a movie date. The movie, unfortunately, is of his favorite Super-Hero named Captain Blue. By do ... read more

Pros: Everything.
Cons: Might be challenging for the less skilled gamers, but you'll get used to it.
Summary: This is El_Scorcho from the Viewtiful Joe Street Team. I've played the import version of this game, and it is simply amazing. Everything you wished you wanted in a game is here. A cool story line, great graphics and music, replay value, and the most im ... read more
