This series is phenomenal

User Rating: 9 | Viewtiful Joe (Pink Version) GC
Beautifully designed, Viewtiful Joe is a gem of a franchise with one of the best visual presentations on the GameCube that I've seen. The 2.5D graphics works wonderfully and the game has complex gaming mechanisms that you better master before you try to go ahead.

It has an interesting story that comes here and there, and the game is divided in chapters that works like movie sequences. the game is self aware that it's a crazy idea and so the gameplay it's just over the top. The ability to speed up and slow down time is implemented flawlessly and they do matter in order to complete some segments of the game.

It took me a while to complete this game, I had to leave it cool down after a few frustrating gaming segments, where it sent me back way back for my taste. But enemies are a joy to fight and the boss fights can be very challenging at first. The final boss is ay easier than the previous ones, hope this helps.

What I really love about this series is the amount of love that was put here. Even when you beat the game it throw you some extra content to enjoy, a really rare feature these days. Highly, highly recommended game.
