"Viewtiful Joe"

I've been wondering for a while if i should get this. It is ne of the most sceptical games for me this year. The graphics and gameplay have been awarded with the recognition of 3 award nominations. Its just the style of the game that im not sure about. Do you think i should get it or not?

Yep, check gamespot. Cant wait, this ,Killer 7, Killzone , Dynasty Warriors : Empires and GTA :)

IT'S COMING OUT ON PS2?!??!?!111111111111111111111

PSW are dissapointing me these days, letting that slip by me... Played it for an hour in a shop on the GC before they kicked me out for harassing the other children who wanted to play the GC.

Ugh. It's not fair, I'm bigger. Also, I was holding the controller, and possesion is 9/10's of the law...

Cant wait for this. Got it on Pre-order.

The only thing that has been bothering me. This is a definite sell with any console, so why choose GC when theres PS" and X-box with more people?

exactly what i would say. the first couple of sessions on VJ you couldn't peel me from the screen, but after a short time it has no drawing ability.

I didn't say it didn't.

It may well be better, but I'm actually getting more enjoyment out of Driv3r - which is drawing me back to playing it far more than Viewtiful Joe.

I didn't think it was as hard as you guys are making it. I mean i've always had a knack for fighting games in general, but i don't think i'm amazing. What's so hard about it, apart from the fact it's a typical jap game and has imbalances in difficulty between bosses and cronies?

Basically I would buy it mate, but have it in mind to resell it asap. it lacks a 2 player mode which would make it stunning, but impossible to control. It's a game you keep on gunning through and enjoying from start to finish. However i have become slightly bored at the lack of depth in levels.

I'll sum it up like this: When i saw it listed for ps2 release, the edges of my mouth curved upwards a little.
:D

Viewtiful Joe, i thought was very difficult but great graphics and stunning effects, well worth getting it tho

Depends on what type of games you prefer really. I think Vietiful Joe is stunning, but I like cars more so I'd choose D3 everytime.

:)

Viewtiful Joe owns Dri3r Mav. VJ owns almost everything.

I got it done on kid mode then died 100's of times on adult, I really feel like playing it though.
