![]() Title: Viewtiful Joe Players: 1 Publisher: Capcom Developer: Capcom Genre: Action Release date: 10/07/03 Memory Blocks: Four [size=7]INDEX[/size] Intro- My introduction of the game. Story- The beginning of the story. Tells how the story begins. Gameplay/control- I tell you about the gameplay and how the game controls. Graphics- I tell you how I feel about the graphics. Are they good, or do they stink? Replay value- I tell you if this game is worth playing again and again. Sound/Music- Does it make your ears bleed? Let's find out! Overall- Drumroll please! Should you or shouldn't you buy this? Control Figuration- I show you what the buttons do. Summary- I give you a quick summary of everything you just read. Characters- I will give a brief summary of some of the characters. Pros/cons- I tell you the good, bad, and the ugly. Other Genre scores- Not a side-scroller fan? I will give the game scores that I think will apply to people who like side-scrollers, beat 'em ups, and action games. Micselaneous- want more info? Look no further. ___________________________________________________________________________________ INTRO This game is full of innovative original things! I mean, slo mo, mach speed 1 2 & 3, and zoom. What more is there? Plenety of bosses, plenty of modes, and plenty of action! It's a side-scroller. What else? I'm glad you asked...... This game kinda feels like you're playing the Matrix movie. You can do some pretty awesome moves! He is my mascot, because you cant touch him! This is a very innovative, original, and fun game! Let me take you into the viewtiful world of Movie land! ___________________________________________________________________________________ STORY The story is about a guy named Joe, and his girlfriend, Sylvia. While they are watching a movie with Joe's fave character, Captain blue, Sylvia wants some "off-screen action" A couple minutes later, a monster pops out of the screen and grabs Sylvia. Then the Six machine, falls out, and grabs Joe. Now, a whole new movie begins.... Joe finds himself in a place called movie land. He finds that some of the villains in movie land are trying to get out of the big screen. So basically you go around trying to save Sylvia, as well as defeat the villains and their evil plan. The story is pretty good. It's funny too. Not anything super special about it though. It has it's own twist. It earns itself a 7.9/10. __________________________________________________________________________________ GAMEPLAY/CONTROLS I love the gameplay of this game! It's just like a side-scroller and everything, but diggerent somehow. I can't even put my finger on it. Anyway, you can jump pretty high, plus a double jump. Killing even the hardest enemies is simple, but yet really fun. You have quite a few ways to take care of your enemies.... See, you have a VFX bar, which shows hom much special power you have left. It replenishes all the time pretty fast. There are three things that drain your VFX energy. Slo-mo, Mach speed, and zoom. Slo-mo is probably the best mode. You multiply the strength of all your attacks, you automatically dodge punches, bullets, ect.(but that takes away part of your vfx gauge) it also infulences your surroundings, but you'll find out about that when you play the game. Mach speed makes you go really, really fast. It isn't as helpful as slo-mo, but it's fun to catch things on fire! When you first get mach speed, it's on level one, but when you get enough v-points, you can purchase, ver.2 and 3. When you get two, you can have up to 4 of yourself appear, and with ver.3 up to six. Zoom is a fun mode because you get cool attacks when you zoom in. You do a cartweel spin kick in the air, or you can jump in a spiral bullet like way, or go down when your in the air. Then, there's a couple fun things you can do, you can do slow and zoom at the same time, which does tons of damage! Or you can pull a mach zoom. You can probably figure out what happens. Mass damage at high speeds. There is a shop at points in the game that you can buy skills at. Trust me, the skills are worth it. What makes the gameplay and controls so fun, are the matrix type gameplay. The only thing weird is that you punch with y, kick with x, and jump with A. You get used to it after a couple minutes though. I love it, and you will too. I'll give it a 9.7/10! ___________________________________________________________________________________ DO NOT POST YET OR YOUR POST WILL BE DELETED! |

GRAPHICS These graphics are cel-shaded, but PERFECT!!!! I wouldn't have it any other way. Even if you don't like cel-shading, you'll know it was right for this game the minute you start. The graphics in every mode are so perfect. Slow, mach, and zoom. And the attacks and fx are pulled off in such a perfect way, that you'll feel like you are playing an actuall movie! These graphics make this game part of what it is. They deserve every bit of this 10/10. ____________________________________________________________________________________ ![]() Kinda cool, huh? ______________________________________________________________________ REPLAY VALUE There is a lot of replay value! At the beginning of the game, there is kids mode and adults mode. Then after you beat adult, you unlock V mode, then after that ultra v-mode. You can unlock three extra characters also, one in adult mode, one in v mode, and one in ultra v-mode. There is plenty to work for, and plenty of gameplay for it. The best thing is, it never gets old! I give replay value a 9.5/10 __________________________________________________________________________ SOUND/MUSIC The sound in this game is superb. Every punch, kick, grunt, scream, and movement is right on. It's perfect. In all VFX modes, it sounds just right for the speed you are going. The music is pretty good in this game also. It's not the best, but not bad. The tunes have the same type of beat for every level, but it isn't annoying. I'll give the sound and music and averaged out 8/10 ___________________________________________________________________________________ OVERALL Overall, this game is a superb action side-scroller. I am not exactly sure what makes this game better than other side-scrollers, but it might have something to do with the mix of awesomeness from each catergory. The gameplay, controls, sound, music, replay value, and everything, is so good! Not much else to say. 9.6/10! Now is the part where I show you some cool things. Characters, pics, links, and more! ______________________________________________________________________________ [size=1]CONTROL FIGURATION[/size] Y=punch X=kick A=Jump R=Mach Speed L=Slo-Mo B or yellow c stick up= zoom control stick/Pad= move Control stick up/pad up= jump dodge Control stick down/dad down= Duck dodge *keep in mind that you don't get slo mo, mach, and zoom until after you play a few levels, also there are lots of other moves you can buy at the skill shop* __________________________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY Story: Good story, nothing special. 8/10 Gameplay/Controls: Very good gameplay and controls. Some of the best. 9.7/10 Graphics: Perfect for this game. Cel-shaded. Everything seems perfect. 10/10 Replay value: Superb, lasts quite a long time. A lot to unlock. 9.5/10 Sound/Music: Good sound and music. Nothing special. Still good though, not painfull to listen to. 8/10 Overall: One of the best side-scrollers and action games I've ever played. Definately the best side-scroller next to the old mario series. 9.6/10 _________________________________________________________________________________ DON'T POST YET!!!!!!! |
