Closing Comments
All sequels should be this fun. Viewtiful Joe 2 conjures the same level of visceral entertainment as the first, while expanding the formula by introducing new moves, enemies and vehicles. The introduction of Joe’s girlfriend, Sylvia, is a great addition that just adds depth to an already deep and thoroughly satisfying game experience. If you hated the first, then don’t bother with this one. But if you’re a normal, healthy human being, then you loved the first one. And if that’s the case, then it looks like it’s time to bust out those red tights and blue mini skirt, because Viewtiful Joe 2 delivers exactly what you want: a super stylish, extremely challenging and riveting time in Movie Land. Recommended to anyone who loves video games. Henshin-a-go-go!

9.0 Presentation
Like the first game, VJ2 is a very polished game featuring a fully realized cartoon world. Great menus and interface.

9.0 Graphics
Very bright and wildly unique. Great effects and style, with smooth animation.

8.5 Sound
Great, cheesy voice work and remixed tunes from the first game make VJ2 feel like home.

9.0 Gameplay
Brilliantly executed 2D brawler chock full of action and humor. Great, mind bending puzzles throughout.

8.0 Lasting Appeal
You'll beat this game several times just because it's so damn fun.

The first one sucked really, really bad. No buy, not even a rent for VJ2. This series HAS to die, as do a couple of Capcom's franchises.

You might as well quit videogames.

Oh please. VJ only got attention, because it was part of the "incredible"Capcom 5, an excellent example of the unique Nintendo difference! That's the impression I got of that hype. Henshin-a-go-go my ass.

No, it got the most attention because at the time, it was the only good game from the Capcom 5. It's your own personal opinion the game sucked, but that doesn't change the fact that the game did NOT suck. You don't get high scores and accolades for a suckfest, unless you're Final Fantasy.

I Agree With You.

I Agree With You.

However i'm getting the feeling that VJ2 is one of those uninspired sequels. Where's the difference to VJ really, besides the new move.

No difference really, but unlike most uninspired sequels the level designs are just as well though out as the first game. It's kinda like the old school arcade sequels where the core gameplay is the same but the new levels and challenges are what makes it a legit sequel.

9.0 is too low in my book. RENTING AT MOST.

FULLY REALIZED! DAVE H LIVES!
