Item Description
Viewtiful Joe is a cel-shaded side scrolling action game in which you play as a super-hero Joe and battle in the modern city side. The characters are all super-deformed. The game features some unique features, such as a SLOW button (to turn the whole action into slow motion), a FAST button (which allows you to run faster than light and beat up your enemies in seconds) as well as a ZOOM button (for zoom-in effects and to operate special other combos).
The game itself is mainly in English language, just some sub-titles as well as menue explanations have been left in Japanese. In our opinion Viewtiful Joe is a great action title with a very unique gameplay. Certainly a must for all Gamecube owners.
Viewtiful Joe is directed by Hideki Kamiya - one of the producers of Devil May Cry - and produced by Atsushi Inaba.

Awesome
The game came in perfect state and the game itself is perfect! Although it does look like an experimental game for
clover studio, the game has its appeal.

Yes!!!!!!!!!
I received the normal or classic edition instead of the Player's Choice one!!!
A nice bonus because the classic one it is a lot more expensive between collectors.
Talking about the game now, this is one of the seven games that Capcom was suppose to release only for the Gamecube (another example is Resident Evil 4) but it ended in pretty much every console in a short time (I do not know why).
It is a must buy boys (and girls (and Aliens)), top graphics, characters, story, music, and originality!
You just can't go wrong with any of the 7 GameCube exclusives for all consoles by Capcom!

Kinda like a 2D action game?
This is a 2D sidescroller with some platforms and concepts of the now common action games.
Graphics are really nice, styled as a comic book, with cel-shaded graphics.
Battling is kinda button mashy, but with different kind of techniques, like evading up or down, slowing time and accelerating time; which both affect parts of the scenery, like slowing time when a hovering platform is close, the fans becomes slower and the platform falls.
Good concepts added to a 2D sidescroller, worth the try.
