Viewtifull Joe

[Jay]

Incase you can't tell by now, I am a huge Nintendo fan. But I was wondering if anyone else has played viewtifull joe? I got it for Xmas, and I love it but DAMN it it hard! I'm at one part of the game where you have to escape from a sub, and I just am stuck.

I've wanted to try that game for a while, I heard it's really good but I know nothing about it.

when you first pick it up, it feels like a normal side-scrolling beat em up. But then you get special powers that need to be used in order to beat diffrent opponents. Like, at the end of the first level, yo u have to take on a giant helecopter. This is nearly impossible to do if you don't use the slow-mo power, witch causes the propellors to slow to a stop and the chopper to fall to the ground, allowing you to beat it up.

Theres also special ways to avoid opponents' attacks by pressing up or down at the right time, witch allows you to make the opponent dizzy and allows you to do some crazy combo stuff.

Then theres the most annoying part of the game, the puzzle aspect. Some bossest have patterns and untill you figure out what to do in order to beat them, your pretty much screwed.

But all and all its definitly a good game, but you should rent it first before shelling out the $50 for it.

It's been done. (http://www.i-mockery.net/viewtopic.php?t=6705)

And besides, it's $40, not $50.

And that's not how you beat the helicopter. You're supposed to kick slow'ed grunts into it.

Yes, it's quite fun. I borrowed it from a friend and beat it in a few days =(

[Jay]

You know, we should make a standard rule that you can only review old school ROM games, or new games in the first week of release. >:

good thing I'm not reviewing, just making conversation cus i got nothing better to do :/

[liquidstatik]

It's suppose to be really good, but I dun like the way it's animated. :/

I think it gets stale pretty fast.

But then you play it a month later and it's brand new again :)

Play it for like an hour every 6 days for maximum efficiency.

not buying a game based on how it looks = :/
