The Gamecube was running low on exclusive games. And just in the nick of time comes Viewtiful Joe. A sidescroller that just plain rocks.
Graphics: The effects are great and the graphics suit the game well. Cel-shading just doesn't get much better than this.
Story: Nothing really interesting in this department. The story doesn't suck. It's just not the best story you will ever hear in a video game.
Gameplay: Joe controls just as he should. Executing moves and obtaining viewtiful bonuses are made with ease.
Sound: Featuring spoken dialouge and nice sound effects. You won't find a reason to turn the sound off.
Replay: Viewtiful Joe is a little on the short side, but since there are unlockable charachters and difficulty levels. You are likely to play through this game more than once.
Overal: Viewtiful Joe is a real joy to play. You will have a blast playing through it despite its short length.
