	Gamerz Edge Viewtiful Joe from Capcom (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Joe has a “VFX Meter” at the top of the screen that will deplete steadily any time a VFX power is used (until the player turns the VFX power off, in which case it will begin to slowly replenish itself).
		Viewtiful Joe is strictly for people who are determined to complete the game, against all odds, and reap the sense of triumph that follows.
		Viewtiful Joe might have some of the most critically acclaimed gameplay of any game this generation, but its graphics are no afterthought, either.

	Viewtiful Joe - GameCritics.com
		Joe is an average Joe with a super-deformed buxom girlfriend named Sylvia.
		Viewtiful Joe is a wonderful action game lovingly crafted with the weathered but timeless elements of rusty genres along with the new, postmodern concepts of parody and time manipulation.
		The appeal of Viewtiful Joe relies solely on its gameplay, and not from its genre-bending, medium-hopping aesthetics, self-awareness and loopy sense of humor.

	Viewtiful Joe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Viewtiful Joe 2 was released for both the GameCube and PlayStation 2 in November 2004.
		Joe's kick is replaced with an energetic spin kick, where he levitates in the air as he spins repeatedly.
		While Joe and his girlfriend Silvia are watching a tokusatsu drama during a date, Silvia is kidnapped by the movie's antagonist and taken into the world of the movies: Movieland.

	The Entertainment Depot - PC / Mac / Console Gaming : PlayStation 2 - Reviews - Viewtiful Joe 2
		Joe still has his cape, and Sylvia has her long ponytail, and they flow along to add stylish flourishes to every movement.
		Joe and Sylvia look great of course, and the enemies, mostly robots of one kind or another, also have a lot of character in their design.
		There's a part where Joe has a remote to control a rocketing platform that emits a constant, incessant "beep beep beep," and a mid-boss fight against a UFO set against the constant ringing of a loud, obnoxious bell that won't go silent until the aircraft is felled.

	ViewtifulJoe
		Viewtiful Joe seems like a conventional title at first, but the game adds slow motion, speed up and zoom modes to give it a distinct feel.
		Viewtiful Joe's level designs are straightforward, with the action unfolding at a decent pace.
		Viewtiful Joe's unique graphic approach definitely evokes classic side-scrollers in spirit, but Capcom has taken many of the genre conventions and turned them on their heads.

	GamingWorld X - Viewtiful Joe (JPN) Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Basically, Joe’s girlfriend is sucked into the movies and he goes off to rescue her.
		Collecting Viewtiful Film Reels allows Joe to expand the size of the VFX bar for the remainder of the level.
		Learning to chain these attacks together for the most viewtiful results is half the fun, and players will still be learning new ways to attack the enemy after hours of play.

	Viewtiful Joe 2 (cube: 2004): Reviews
		With all of the additions Viewtiful Joe 2 introduces, the game is still very similar to the first game, right down to a final showdown prefixed with having to fight all of the previously defeated bosses.
		Viewtiful Joe 2 is as big a triumph as the original, resisting the urge to change a winning formula but building on it with even cooler settings, funnier bosses, more variety in the gameplay and a cool new way to manipulate time.
		There's not much to differentiate Viewtiful Joe 2 from the first, as new VFX power and the ability to switch characters mid-level are the only major gameplay changes.

	GameSpy.com - Preview
		Joe's got a hot chick called Sylvia -- who brandishes two suspiciously-placed white buttons on her shirt -- and they both like to watch sci-fi flicks at the movies.
		As Joe enters this attack mode, his V-energy bar diminishes, so a balance must be struck between using this energy meter and letting it recoup.
		As Joe progresses through the game, he'll be able to upgrade his V-mode energy meter and even purchase new combat moves -- such as a diagonal strike kick.

	Viewtiful Joe (cube: 2003): Reviews
		Viewtiful Joe is immediate, extremely challenging, and grows progressively deeper as you advance.
		Viewtiful Joe is one of those rare must-play games that people will still be talking about 10 years down the road.
		Joe is a bit stingy on save points, causing you to repeat parts of the same level over and over (and over), but thanks to its gorgeous visuals, you'll never tire of this View.

	Viewtiful Joe 2 for NGC video game review and cheats (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Viewtiful Joe 2 is more of the same, which is to say that it offers up a highly-stylized look blended with innovative game play in an action game well worth the money.
		In this latest Viewtiful you play through the game as both Joe and his girlfriend, Sylvia, switching between them on the fly with the touch of a button.
		Viewtiful Joe 2 is a pleasure to play, but don’t expect the same impact as the original game.

	Viewtiful Joe (Playstation 2) Review at RewiredMind.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Retro beat 'em-up Viewtiful Joe is the first to pack its bags, bringing its inimitable style intact to the PS2 along with some worthwhile extras that weren't included in the Gamecube original.
		This is aided in no small part by Joe, a brash and self-aware amalgamation of Japanese superhero clichés who is an ideal (and endearing) main character for some seriously light-hearted fun.
		Joe can, for example, bring down helicopters by slowing their rotors with Slow-Mo, or cause something to burst into flames by attacking it at Mach Speed.

	Kikizo Games: GameCube Review: Viewtiful Joe
		While their primary application is combat-oriented, the rules that govern Joe's powers extend to the entire gameworld, and it is around this concept that Itsushi Inaba and his team have crafted some truly entertaining puzzles and scenarios.
		With Viewtiful Joe, Capcom have created a stark, comic-book inspired world: Characters have a rough, stylized look to them, akin to that of an artist's rough sketch, while backgrounds appear at times almost flat, lending credence to the fact that the action takes place on a movie screen.
		The various VFX powers Joe employs come replete with visual effects such as blur lines and ghost images -- though its simple presentation belies it, Viewtiful Joe is in fact a treat for the eyes.

	Review - Viewtiful Joe // PlayStation 2 /// Eurogamer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		To recap, Joe is a movie fan thrust into the vacant role of his favourite hero Captain Blue, on a quest to rescue his girlfriend Silvia from nefarious types in Movie Land.
		By now, with any luck, you're vaguely sold on the idea of Viewtiful Joe - assuming you've never given it a chance before - and you're also primed to be mildly wary of the words "To recap" in future.
		Joe and his enemies are gorgeously animated, particularly while they're in the process of being pummelled to smithereens, and his environments are magnificent - imaginative and memorable - and unlike virtually any other game on either PS2 or Cube.

		Joe is also sucked in and he begins his quest to rescue his girlfriend from the bad guys.
		Joe starts off without any powers but he does seem to have some martial art skill because he can still kick some butt from the get-go.
		Joe can collect movie reels to increase his VFX meter, so as he progresses through a level his powers are constantly increasing.

	Viewtiful Joe - Plugged Games - SuperStreet Magazine
		We heard only great news about Capcom's Viewtiful Joe before we had the chance to play it, and we couldn't wait to find out why everyone was doing back flips for this game.
		One thing is certain, Viewtiful Joe needs to be played to actually fully appreciate the artistry and innovation that was dreamed up and then put into this game.
		Viewtiful Joe is not only a great animated treat to look at, but it's addicting as hell, and after playing, gamers are guaranteed to agree with Joe's catch-phrase: "Life is Viewtiful."

	Viewtiful Joe Review - GamersHell.com
		Joe is quite an average teenager: his only noticeable little taint is his unhealthy addiction to the antique superhero movies featuring his all time hero “Captain Blue”.
		But what makes Viewtiful Joe that unique and fun to play is as always a good, and this time refreshingly new, gameplay idea.
		Joe’s movie trained reflexes can predict an attack before it actually happens, causing a red icon to flash symbolizing either a high or low attack giving us enough time to avoid the hit.

	Viewtiful Joe Review - GamersMark
		Viewtiful Joe is truly an innovative title, sporting quick, action-packed gameplay, fresh, cartoony graphics, and striking effects that are just really cool to watch.
		Our hero Joe is watching a movie with his girl named Sylvia (too bad he’s paying more attention on the movie than on her).
		Joe’s fantastic repertoire of moves are perfect for kicking the sorry behinds of the bad-guys.

		The way to beat Alastor is to knock him into the lava, where he'll appear dazed in the fountain, and very vulnerable to slow, zoomed punches.
		You'll discover your hero name, Viewtiful Joe, then Alastor will be gone, and the announcer will be annoying.

	Viewtiful Joe Review - GameCube
		The story in Viewtiful Joe is unlike that of any game before it, it isn’t exactly the main selling point of the experience but it does add considerably to the originality and enjoyability of the proceedings.
		Joe, more than a bit bewildered, pursues Silvia’s captor and meets up with Captain Blue himself who trains Joe in the way of the mighty V Watch, which allows the person wearing it to pull of insanely spectacular feats.
		Joe starts out with basic maneuvers such as punches, kicks, and acrobatic flip jumps, but as he progresses through the movie he’ll learn new tricks.

		Joe is just that, your average Joe who loves seeing movies especially ones that star his favorite action hero Captain Blue.

	"Viewtiful Joe"/ a game review from Christian Spotlight
		Thus begins Vietiful Joe, with an opening cutscene of Joe and his girlfriend Sulvia watching an oldtime hero movie about "Captain Blue." Sylvia isn't very interesting in the movie, just making out with Joe (a small part of the objectionable content, as Sylvia seems to have more on her mind that just kissing).
		Joe however has been looking forward to this movie for a very long time.
		In these lessons Joe learns the basics of combat (punch, kick) and in later lessons, the advanced Viewtiful Effects (VFX) which are critical to the game.

	Viewtiful Joe > Review
		You play as the character Joe, a movie maniac who just happens to be watching one of his favorite movies starring Captain Blue.
		It seems that the movie's villains are tired of being ruled by the director's power in their current world and want nothing more than to escape and conquer the outside world.
		Ripping through their ranks with spectacular punches and kicks is normally a great deal of fun, but with the use of Joe's superpowers it becomes a total blast.

	Gamers Europe » Nintendo » Review » Viewtiful Joe (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Joe starts off wearing the superhero outfit and has a basic VFX gauge, which contains the juice to power his special attacks.
		If the gauge is depleted (don’t worry it replenishes once your finger is off the trigger) then Joe transforms into his normal clothes and the visuals mimic an old and cracked-up reel of film.
		But it’s not these visuals that will be the defining memories of Viewtiful Joe, once you turn on a special attack you’re in a different world.

	IGN: Viewtiful Joe Review
		October 3, 2003 - Remember when you first heard the word "viewtiful?" It was actually only one year ago that Capcom dropped that little wacky adjective on the world as it unearthed plans for the "Fantastic Five" -- a stunning five-title line-up set to sail exclusively on Nintendo's GameCube.
		Yes, we realize that Joe is a spandex-clad superhero with a pink cape, but if you haven't already fallen in love with this game for yourselves after consuming our extensive, viewtiful preview coverage, then please, read on and allow us to share our passion.
		Though the story is straightforward, all we need to know is that Joe's girlfriend Silvia has been mysteriously sucked into a movie by an evil force to provide us with more than enough motivation to hop into the red tights and commence with the beatdown.
