Viewtiful Joe is designed to offer
classic platform action with state-of-the-art graphics and visual effects. Players take control of regular "Joe," a cel-shaded hero whose
side-scrolling adventures are presented in the style of a movie.
Joe soon gains the ability to transform in to
Viewtiful Joe, a superhero with the power to befuddle his enemies with cinematic special effects. As he makes his way through the adventure, he earns new and more powerful abilities.
These powers allow
Viewtiful Joe to execute special combos, or even control the flow of time. He can speed things up for a flurry of fisticuffs, or borrow a trick from
Max Payne to slow the action for some cinema-style battle. Conceived and designed under the guidance of
Capcom's
Atsushi Inaba (producer of
Steel Battalion) and
Hideki Kamiya (director of
Devil May Cry),
Viewtiful Joe offers
GameCubers a fresh look at
classic side-scrolling combat. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide
