If you're a fan of beat-'em-up games, there's a hige change you've played this firs Viewtiful Joe. If not, then it's high time you found out why this game is simply "viewtiful".
VJ 2's soundtrack is as hyper as the visuals. As soon as you start playing, you're treated to several bouncy tracks and catchy sound effects. The occasional dialogue will really crack you up. VJ 2 has plenty of mini and main bosses to test your superhero fighting skills. It's not just rapid-fire combat though since there are also environment-based puzzles to solve using your powers.
What makes Viewtiful Joe 2 different from refular beat-'em-ups are the VFX powers. VFX powers add more to the mix by giving Joe and his girlfriend Sylvia the ability to speed up, slow down, replay and zoom in on the action. For example, Joe's Mach Speed power lets him throw a dizzying combo of punches and kicks. The VFX powers can even be chained together for more creative ways of attacking enemies.
In this game, the effect is literally eye-popping and filled with the colorful energy of a Saturday morning cartoon. The out-of-this-world character design will keep you chuckling long after you've finished the game.
