Another treasure by Capcom, but doesn't quite meet up to its predacessor's...
User Rating: 7.8 | Viewtiful Joe: Double Trouble! DS
As the Viewtiful Joe series gains in strength over the years, the need for better content is always in demand. With DT (Double Trouble for short), the use of the Touch Screen brought new innovations with the always entertaining VFX powers, as with the new Split, Swap, and Scratch powers, and the surprisingly good audio quality on the handheld blew my mind. However, since not on the more graphic-friendly console, most of the gameplay/graphics fell slightly short for the DS. For one, the graphics felt a bit 'pushed' in order to fit the game-play, making things appear a bit too 'crisp' looking for the Viewtiful Joe world. Secondly, the button configuration, and activation of powers felt a bit awkward to use, especially in heated fights. On another downside, the lack of voice-acting in the game brought me disappointment. Although we get Joe's signature call, no voice-acting is done for the cut-scene's. To make a long story short, Viewtiful Joe Double Trouble is still another entertaining addition, making its home in the DS world. However not as compelling as others, its still a good choice for those itching for more cartoony beat-em-ups, and is a good-start for new folks to the series. All in all; 7.9.
Henshin A Go-Go, Baby!
