Capcom had a great idea...but didn't perform it very well.....

User Rating: 7.2 | Viewtiful Joe: Battle Carnival GC
Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble is e melee fighting game with viewetuful joe's world included. The idea certainly is exelent, since the game is full of action and style. The graphics of the game are just as great as the other games, beautiful cel shaded well texturized ghaphics. The sound is exelent too, with all the games theme songs and some new ones of the same stile. The dialogues of the single player are nice and funny. There are 15 viewtiful joe's characters, from bosses to important characters of the last games. So a melee game with those qualities and viewtiful joe's action should be perfect shouldn't it? But it isnt. The huge action makes you characters hard to see on the screen, and it's pretty much of a button mashing game, and that makes the game repetitive. you can get used to not seeing your character very well....after a while it'll be easy to find it...but it's boring to spend your time searching for your character on the screen. the buton mashing os not that boring since its not all the time, and the characters attacks are awesome. If they make a red hot rumble 2, since capcom is an exelent developer and realizes when it makes a mistake, they'll probably fix those many little things that take the potencial of this game. If your a joe fan, no doubt you'll like it, and if you liked super smash bros, this is a good second option, but its far from being as good as that game....but the multiplayer is also very fun.....
