There's a New Superhero in the Neighborhood
User Rating: 8 | Viewtiful Joe PS2
Viewtiful is one of the most epic, crazy, loony PS2 games I've ever played. Joe was just...well, an average Joe, before he sucked into a movie to Movieland, where he has to rescue his girlfriend Sylvia from 'The Jadow'. Joe is your basic hero, punching and kicking and double jumping and all mthat. But he also has some special abilities. He can slow down time to defeat enemies easier, or he can speed up time, which can increase his running and jumping abilities. Also, he can max up his abilities with more power. You'll need to use these three abilities to solve puzzles. Movieland will have lots of places to go to, from downtown to an Underwater base. You're basic enemies look like gray practice dummies. There are a lot of different types of them though, and each of them require their own strategy. You'll need to slow down time to defeat one, deflect one's missiles back at him, and dodge another's attacks before you get a chance to strike. There are also bosses at the end of each level, with their own strategy too. You'll have to wait until one runs toward you, and then jump out the way so he runs into a wall. You'll have to lure another into land mines. This game is a good game for fighting and puzzle gamers, and at a cheap price, there is no reason you don't have it.
