Viewtiful Joe - GameCube

POW, KICK, SMACK, PUNCH, BOOOOOOOOOM!

Viewtiful Joe is the best Gamecube game out now. It has amazing visuals. It uses 3D characters and objects on a 2D background whihc is really cool and gives the game it's sorta cartoony feel. The animation is terrific, as all Joe's moves look really cool and there's never a stiff animation or an animation that looks dodgy. And the frame rate is 100% smooth with no slowdown (unless you use the slowdown power). The sound is on a similar level to the graphics. The effects are flawless, with gunshots, explosions, and lots of other effects like the swoosh of a helicopter. They are cool and suit the action. The music is great as well, as it suits the action as the rock music suits the movie theme. The voice work is good as well with terrific dialogue. The thing that makes VJ unique is the superhero powers you can use. You can slow down and speed up time, as well as zoom in to do some deadly moves close up. These powers are really cool and spice up the action a bit, but the action would still be great even without the powers. VJ is really cool and a must have for any Gamecube owner.
