Description

Viewtiful Joe is a super hero with all the attitude, confidence, punch and style of a million-dollar action-hero caught up in the world of a Hollywood movie. It begins as Joe and his girlfriend, Silvia, are at the movies watching his favorite superhero, Captain Blue. Silvia is somehow warped into the motion picture realm and it is up to Joe to fight the on-screen bad guys and rescue her. In the effort of saving his damsel in distress, Joe becomes more than just any ordinary dude. Granted superhero powers by Captain Blue, he gains visual effects powers to perform special fighting techniques that can be utilized to affect time, initiate a variety of combos to annihilate enemies and solve various innovative puzzles. Players will progress through various quasi 2D/3D cel-shaded environments utilizing Joe’s visual effect abilities to bash enemies with beautiful style. It is up to gamers to activate the correct view mode, such as “Slow,” a technique for instantaneously slowing down the action to inflict devastating damage reminiscent of today’s films, or “Mach Speed” to destroy enemies using lightning-quick martial-arts combat animations. The viewtifully cinematic visual effects and innovative stylized action definitely sets Viewtiful Joe apart from all other games on the market.
