The visuals in Viewtiful Joe is simply viewtiful. They feature some great animation and incredible 3-dimentional side-scrolling effects. The game is filled with effects that all make it look like you're playing a TV series about Viewtiful Joe the super hero.

The music fitts perfectly into the gameplay, and especially the music in episode 1 is awesome. The game features some great sound effects in both slo-mo and mach speed. Joe's comments is great, and "hensin a go, go baby" has allready becomed the sentence that reprecent Viewtiful Joe.

The gameplay is where Viewtiful Joe really shines. The fact that you're controlling a super hero inside a film is both new-thinking and most of all very entertaining. The fighting is very cool. And controlling Joe is very easy and a bit primitive actually. Joe can use slo-mo, mach speed and zoom, to fight of enemies. The slo-mo slows down the speed and makes it all a bit Matrix. The mach speed makes Joe move like Superman. The zoom makes the camera zoom in on Joe and now you can do some incredible moves indeed. The game is perfect for everyone that has played a lot of games. For those who haven't played that much better take a look at Viewtiful Joe anyway.

Great graphics and the 3-dimentional side-scrolling is amazing. Some cool tunes, and some fantastic sound effects. Playing a super hero in a movie is very entertaining. You can buy new moves and other stuff.

A bit to much of the same after punching down 500 guys with the same moves. Can be very frustrating because there are a bit few save points.
