    Three Phases of Viewtiful Joe 0

    After a few hours of play, I was kind of disappointed.  I played a few levels on hard, found it a bit too tough, so I played on "kids" difficulty for a while. I will refer to this later as "phase one".After getting to about the third episode, I figured I had seen all there was to see. How wrong I was.

The story is a "throw away" in the spirit of the genre, but I ...

Now that you know what kind of game it is, let's move on to the review.Good stuff:Viewtiful worldThe game looks really, really good. The cel-shaded graphics strongly resemble the fantastic-looking Okami, albeit with more of a comic-book feel. Regardless of how many enemies and special effects were on the screen, the frame rate n...
