Viewtiful Joe on GAMECUBE

Viewtiful Joe Screen Shots

Viewtiful Joe is a Fighting game available on the GAMECUBE. It can be played in Thirdperson Singleplayer modes.

Viewtiful Joe is a Fighting game. Fighting games revolve around the interaction of two or more characters in some form of physical combat. Players learn to control characters through either memorisation of button combinations to access more advance moves, or by their reactions and accurate timing.

Viewtiful Joe can be played in a Thirdperson mode. Third Person games view the world from over the right shoulder of the character being controlled. This enables you to see the character you are controlling as well as their surrounds. Although not as immersive as first person, third person games enable more complex moves and interactions with the environment.

Viewtiful Joe can be played in a Singleplayer mode. Single Player Campaign games focus on one player's experience. Rather than collaborate with other players either locally or online, players progress alone. The campaign style of gameplay offers a connected series of challenges to play through. These chapters work together to tell a story through which players progress. Single player games are able to focus on one experience of a scenario, so that it is usually a richer, more visceral game.

Soulful Gamer review Mon, 06 Sep 2010

Viewtiful Joe looks unique and delivers a superior side-scrolling brawler. The blend of visuals and deft storytelling also offers a depth that becomes surprisingly endearing.

Using a clever blend of 2D and 3D visuals and a cel-shaded look, Viewtiful Joe marries old school fighting with interesting narrative design. It begins when Joe, a movie fan, finds himself thrust into the vacant role of Captain Blue - his hero. Having had his girlfriend stolen by the evil-doer in movieland he sets off to rescue her.
