I played the first level today on the GCN demo disk and its just awesome. I like the graphics its like a 2-d sidescroller but the graphics look hand drawn. The gameplay is really simple and addicting. You just keep fighting wave after wave of enemies. You can execute these sweet combos and jump really high. You can slow down time and dodge bullets and missiles and you can speed up time and mow down a bunch of bad guys. Damn I want more Joe. Soul Calibur 2 is on there that games also sweet

Yeah this game looks awesome! It could be a million seller if it wasnt called "Viewtiful Joe". Man, my wallets gonna be bleeding by the end of the year. So many games! NINTENDOVERLOAD!

I love it on the demo disk. LOVE IT! It's much better then I expected it to be, I'm very much looking forward to this one.

*has a cry over lack of demo disc release in Australia*

I REALLY want to play this. The obscure adverts on Capcom's Japanese site boosted my love for this game. ME WANTEE!

Every cube owner should have a copy of Viewtiful Joe. Maybe even 2.

Viewtiful Joe on the demo disc definitely sold me on it for sure. I'll be first in line to nab it the day it comes out.

I hope this game isn't as good as you say it is. If so, I'll have to get it, and I don't have enough money for all these games.

I played the Viewtiful Joe demo and enjoyed playing as Viewtiful, and really liked the slo-mo. I didn't really get what the hyper speed was there for though. I didn't really use it at all, but maybe I have to play through it again to get more used to it. It seems to have a lot of potential though.

NintendoKiD · « **Reply #11 on:** May 27, 2003, 11:57:23 AM »

Can someone explain to me what Viewtiful Joe is? Is it a cell shaded FPS game? All I hear is that its friggin cool.

Dethroned Emperor · « **Reply #12 on:** May 27, 2003, 12:21:24 PM »

it is cel-shaded, bu it's more of a hybrid 3rd-person adventure/platformer type game. u can do all kinds of cool stuff like slow down time. deflect bullets, etc. I haven't played the demo, but this is my most-anticipated game for GCN. to borrow the phrase from the ikaruga box "my frothing demand for this game increases" I fear if I should ever play the demo, my head may spontaneously combust due to over-stimulation, I want this game now!!!

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #13 on:** May 27, 2003, 12:45:11 PM »

It's a side scroller, cel shaded action game. I think it's supposed to look like a comic book.

evopanop · « **Reply #14 on:** May 27, 2003, 02:40:10 PM »

OMG! I just picked up the Demo Disk today... and... OMG, OMG, OMG! That is all I have to say! lol Viewtiful Joe is EXTREMELY awesome and addictive... and OMG! lol

Wow... I NEED this game. It friggin' rocks!

Strange question alert:

What kind of music plays in the demo level of VJ?

Perfect Cell · « **Reply #16 on:** May 27, 2003, 03:13:15 PM »

Its funny, i thought Joe sucked, and the only reason i got the demo disk was for Soul Calibur... boy was i wrong im a new convert Viewtiful Joe is extremly fun especially the slow mo matrix style moves

Skyman_Welks · « **Reply #17 on:** May 27, 2003, 03:35:15 PM »

It's a mix between a comic, and the set of a movie.

Beaty Capcom-action-game-techno type stuff. Remotely similar to some Mega Man tunes (these are side scrollers we're looking at, afterall), but better than the garbage in the PSX Mega Man games.

The music that plays in the demo is the same as the one that plays in the latest trailer. You can find the trailer thru my homepage.

I finally beat the demo level and let me say, any game that lets you fight bare knuckle against an apache helicopter is a winner in my book.

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #20 on:** May 27, 2003, 05:02:04 PM »

My favourite of the Japanese ads was the one with Joe and the guy in a Blue costume similar to Joe, and they're talking about Silvia. The blue guy mentions something and the scene cuts to Silvia on a chair. All of a sudden, the camera just WHOOSHES right to the spot between her legs!

I was blown away. Wow! That's Japanese ingenuity for ya!
Then the scene cuts back to Joe just clonking the blue guy on the head.
Hahahaha! Best commercial evah!

Mario · « **Reply #21 on:** May 28, 2003, 01:31:18 AM »

Wow, all ive heard is good things about this game. I have not heard ONE negative comment about Viewtiful Joe on any website or from anyone. Not one.

*puts down pre-order*

for the Aussies:
Who likes that ad for The Panel with all those Japanese chicks in a bath amongst a field of flowers singing some weird song?
I think the ads for the Wario game on GBA is funny.

I've gotten all V Rankings on the Slot Machine Boss and the Helicopter. Best game ever, must import.
