This Game Is Viewtiful

Viewtiful Joe is one of the most creative games ever made. The game is cell shaded but has a look that no other games has and is simply beautiful to look at. I loved everything about this game the action is non-stop, you can forward or rewind time as you please and it does this effect better than the Marix games themselves. The writing in the game is some of the best in video games, it's one of those rare games that's actully funny and not just funny in a cheesy way. I think the part I enjoyed most besides the great combat has to be the way Capcom used Joe's time powers in the games puzzles, instead of having to push crates or some other boring task every puzzle in the game revoles around using your time powers in diffrent ways, it was the first time in a while I actually enjoyed solving a games puzzles. The only downside to this game is a boss called Fire Leo, he has got to be one of the hardest characters I ever fought in a game. You fight him towards the end of the game I can get to him without dying once but once I get to him I lose almost all my lives and sometimes I have to turn off the game because I simply can not beat him. It's a shame too because this is one of the best and most fun games I ever played until that point, it shows how one major flaw in a game can kill all your fun. Even with the Fire Leo fight it's still a great game and I can't recomend it enough if you own a Game Cube or PS2 you owe it to yourself to pick up this gem.
