JoeD.Dec 15, 200310In an age obsessed with photo realistic graphics, Its great to see a developper take a chance and come up with such a brilliant title. Gorgeous visuals, challenging and intuitive gameplay, and combos that would make Neo piss his pants. For god's sake, you can slow down time and bunch bullets back at whoever's trying to cap you. Buy Vjoe, you won't regret it.

MichaelC.Sep 22, 200610When I beat it on the hardest difficulty setting, I got a sense of pride that no game has ever awarded me, it took me 1 month to beet a game that last up to 8 hours, thats how tough it was. Although the game is short it has an insane amount of replay, it was the first game I've ever gotten obsessed with. If you own the cube, get this game.

VanillaGamerOct 16, 200310A fantastic game from start to finish, Viewtiful Joe is the best video game experience to come along since Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.

JordanB.Dec 4, 200310Awesome game. It's a game that takes the fun of retro beat-em-up games and modern graphics and gameplay to make a great game. No one should overlook this game, because it is rare and the people at Nintendo took a huge chance on such a unique game that will probably not make them a huge profit. Everyone should support this game and its beauty and go out and buy it now.

AlastorBladeMasterMay 11, 200410This is my all time favorite Gamecube game, its got the coolest graphics, the characters are so well done and have great personality, even the dialouge is entertaining and I would suggest it to any gamer, VJ ROCKS !

SeppoK.Apr 12, 20059Viewtiful game.
-
-
DanA.Dec 20, 20069As close to perfect as you can get. Just missing some of that magic, Viewtiful Joe is a beautiful, amazing game. I remember playing a demo and getting sucked into that to the point where I played the level about 5, maybe 6 times over again. Viewtiful Joe is a must buy. Not just for Gamecube owners, but for any serious gamer out there.

PekkaP.Jun 5, 20069Great, challenging and viewtiful looking game. Only bad points being the uninteresting story, non-funny dialogues and the lack of subtitles.

SophieAug 16, 200710This is one of the most compulsive and addicting games I've played for years. Original graphics, gameplay, characters, I honestly can't reccommend it enough. I will warn that it can be VERY difficult.

-
MikkoL.Nov 10, 200310Incredibly stylish, astoundingly fun, superbly viewtiful. VJ is most likely the Game of the Year for me. Not buying this shining pearl is a damn big mistake.

CalvinO.Nov 14, 200310This Game is one of the most fun cartoonish action fighting games that u can ever buy at the moment, my big hint, BUY THE GAME AND LET YouR LIFE BE EASY GOIN'.

BarrettE.Nov 18, 200310Phenomenal, as you can see from all the 100 scores posted from the REAL critics. Speaking of which, dont you think that with that many high scores, you can omit the obvious messup? From ... who the heck is netjak? That score brought the entire score down considerably! Get rid of it!

DragonKnightofFinalFantasyFeb 15, 20049My 2nd favorite cube ever! Only topped by Wind Waker.The graphics are the greatest the VFX moves are sweet it's fun totally. It is sometimes too tough/easy.Nuff' said.

Apr 26, 201110Viewtiful Joe blends console sidescrolling with 3-D visuals, making for one of the best games of 2003. Pros: Beautiful graphics elevate its immensely unique console sidescrolling gameplay; kick-ass special attacks; lots of unlockables. Cons: Some repetitive combat and boss battles.
-
100As great as the visual package is, the audio package delivers just as well. The voice acting does wonders with the well-written and witty script and the sound effects all feel just perfect.
-
Games as stylistically compelling as Viewtiful Joe dont come around often. Thankfully, it has the gameplay to back it up, so Gamecube owners with a taste for action should definitely pick it up. It might require superhuman gaming skills, but who said life as a hero was easy?
-
Joe is a bit stingy on save points, causing you to repeat parts of the same level over and over (and over), but thanks to its gorgeous visuals, you'll never tire of this View. [21 Nov 2003, p.L2T 46]
