DESCRIPTION

Henshin a go-go, baby — Capcom's winning mix of old school 2D platforming and psychedelic 3D environments returns to both PlayStation 2 and its original GameCube home in this sequel. While designed to hold true to the gameplay and presentation of the original, Viewtiful Joe 2 features a new playable character and bestows new "visual effects" powers on its heroes. Players can now explore the cartoon-like game world in the role of Joe's girlfriend Sylvia, who is armed with her pom-poms and a projectile weapon. In addition to the "Zoom In" and time-control powers seen in the original, Viewtiful Joe now has access to a "Replay" ability, which allows him to quickly repeat his best moves in the heat of play, thus inflicting three times the damage from an attack (or receiving three times the benefit when he powers-up). ~ T.J.
