Viewtiful Joe - Gamecube Game (Retro Fam)

Viewtiful Joe is a fun game which has you play a person trapped in a movie, side scrolling along forward and backwards through time. Slow down and speed up to achieve your objectives!This game definitely has some fun. The graphics aren't cutting edge or stellar. Instead, they deliberately put "hairs" and scratches into the screen view to have you feel like you're watching an old time movie. You get the traditional jumping up to platforms, jumping down to ledges, collecting items, breaking items, killing enemies.Many games feel like that's enough - move along the path, kill enemies, jump up and down. But Viewtiful Joe takes it to a new level. Because you're "in a movie", you can control how the movie plays out. If an enemy is racing at you too quickly, you simply slow down time so you can deal with the enemies in a timely fashion. If speed is what you need, put yourself into turbo mode to zip along!It's important to keep in mind that at heart this is a side scroller. If you're a fan of high-quality graphics or Halo-like adventure, this probably isn't the game for you. But if you enjoy side scrollers, cel shading and puzzle styles of games with platformer jumping built in, this will be a lot of fun for you.The game is very family friendly. The hero isn't swearing or ripping limbs off of people. He's simply jumping up, jumping down, gathering items and squishing cartoon enemies.The game is very replayable. If you beat the easier level, there are more challenging levels waiting f.

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

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
