i thought the original was a little static and stiff in spite of its considerable style, but i'm still interested in the sequel. i've finally cooled on pop:ww, so i have $40 of gamerush credit to put towards something else. so, uh, why aren't there any gaf impressions of joe 2? how does the level design compare to the original's? do the ps2 version's graphical shortcomings outweigh the advantages of the ps2 controller? come on! you were all masturbating for joe a year ago; now you won't even buy his game? capcom am crying.
is anyone playing viewtiful joe 2?

Too many games, so little time for this fall. I'll definitely pick it up sometime, maybe in December.

I traded in some busted controllers and got it, I've only just played till after the first boss to see how it was, Im trying to finish MP2 first
so far its pretty cool
so far its pretty cool
yeah, some good stuff has fallen victim to the overabundance of excellent games this fall. if i still don't want prince 2 tomorrow evening, i'll probably pick up joe 2. ps2 version, i guess...i really dislike the gc's d-pad, and i'm not particularly sensitive to little visual discrepancies.

as did I and it worked out great for it
i played vj with the analog stick too. but the controls are entirely digital. i absolutely hate using the analog stick with games that call for digital control. but that's what the gamecube's sick mockery of a d-pad brings me to. how much worse is the ps2 version? maybe i should just get one of those snes-esque hori pads.

Yeah, the release kinda went by unnoticed, huh? I'll probably pick this up in a couple weeks alongside FF 1&2 Advance.

Insane For Sony
As far as visuals go, the downgrades on the PS2 version of VJ1 are negligible. Most notable is one or two spots where the game hits a small slowdown. As far as gameplay go, it plays perfectly fine with both dpad and analog (I actually played and finished the game using the analog stick), and the inclusion of Dante was nice, as his guns add a bit of variety.

the hori pads are really nice especially for GBA games
playing MZM through the GBA Player with that was sweet butter
I could have sworn they were announced for release in the US finally but don't know if that actually happened
I got mine at an Import shop in NYC for 20 bucks well worth it
