  Viewtiful Joe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Viewtiful Joe 2 was released for both the GameCube and PlayStation 2 in November 2004.
Alastor was the one who gave Joe the inspiration for his "hero name." This version of Alastor was derived from the spirit of the lightning sword from Devil May Cry, and uses the stylized sword in several of his attacks.
(Viewtiful) Joe wears a large scarf with his costume, this is a homage to how Kamen Rider Ichi-go and Nii-go (as well as many other "Classic" Riders,) feature a large scarf as part of their costume.

 Gamerz-Edge Viewtiful Joe 2 Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Viewtiful Joe 2 is merely an expansion of the original in every sense of the word – the gameplay is largely untouched, which is not necessarily a bad thing, as Viewtiful Joe’s insanely fun and tight play control is what made it what it was.
Joe still has all of the moves he used to have (sans the Shocking Pink bombs, which have now been transferred exclusively to his new partner in crime fighting, Sylvia), and the general gameplay progression is very much unchanged.
Viewtiful Joe 2 again includes a level where you must fight four of the original bosses over again (stronger and with slightly different attack patterns), but this time you’re allowed to save in between the fights, and considering the difficulty of one of them, that’s a good thing.

 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.

 [ Cyber Shack ]
Viewtiful Joe 2 is made by Capcom, who also made Under The Skin, another quirky, visually rich game that tries to blind you with brightness.
Joe is a movie aficionado and the visual images depict these ideals with camera reels, imitation Oscar statuettes and a director shouting 'Cut' whenever the protagonists die.
Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2 are awesome games, and the world doesn't need more people who judge things by their looks.

 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.
VJ2 has plenty of style and furious action but it could be argued that it needs some help in the balancing department.

For those who didn’t play the first episode, our hero, Joe, is a star of the silver screen who possesses some serious powers and he uses to them to dispatch legions of foes across dozens of screens that scroll from left to right.
New to the sequel is the option of using Joe’s girlfriend, Silvia, as a playable character.
The key to making Viewtiful Joe 2 special is that the action does more than just encourage you to pound on the buttons until all the enemies are gone.

In comparision, Viewtiful Joe 2 has a smaller roster of characters, consisting of only Joe and Silvia, but it does add the ability to switch between the two at any time with the tap of a button.
Silvia's gun makes her the ideal long-range fighter, whilst Joe's aresenal of kicks and punches means he'll spend most of his screen time up close and personal with the enemies.
On the brighter side, Viewtiful Joe 2 includes a challenge mode, entitled "The 36 Chambers." Locked from the start, missions are unlocked as players progress through the game and meet certain criteria.

 Viewtiful Joe 2 Review - FUTURE GAMEZ
The original Viewtiful Joe was one of the five Gamecube exclusive titles until Capcom realised that only a dozen or so people owned a Gamecube and decided to bring the Nintendo exclusive titles to other platforms.
Joes trusty aircraft has returned and has the ability to transform into various shapes to support his activities throughout various stages such as a racer, cannon, drill or submarine.
In the end we can put Viewtiful Joe 2, and it's prequel, in the same category as Rez, ICO and Beyond Good and Evil - that being sensational games that should sell in the millions but won't (or didn't) due to a lack of a big name license.

Everything is still cel-shaded, and Joe, Silvia, and their foes animate with fluidity and grace.
VJ2 controls much like its predecessor, which in turn is very similar to other beat-'em-up sidescrollers.
Viewtiful Joe 2 will definitely appeal to fans of the first game; newcomers may be put off at first by the fact that it's a sidescroller rather than the 3D exploration games that most are used to.

 IGN: Viewtiful Joe - Vol. 2 Review
Joe, meanwhile, is hundreds of miles away in Movie Land and absolutely starving.
Joe's creators do their best to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary, but even so, these episodes rarely feel epic in adventure, which is a disappointment, particularly since the games are highly ambitious.
For all of his hit or miss one-liners, Joe is a likeable character and he's voiced well enough in the series to effect laughs, although we freely admit that younger viewers will likely get the most out of the show.

 Viewtiful Joe 2 (ps2: 2004): Reviews
The introduction of Joe's girlfriend, Sylvia, is a great addition that just adds depth to an already deep and thoroughly satisfying game experience...A super stylish, extremely challenging and riveting time in Movie Land.
Expectations for its follow-up were lofty, and though Viewtiful Joe 2 is a total blast, the new features it introduces don't stack up against its reliance on rehashed ideas enough to keep you from feeling you've tread this path before.
VJ2 is the better overall game, but it's a very rudimentary and evolutionary step rather than a revolutionary leap forward.

Joe will once again be capable of dishing out powerful punches and kicks, swinging them around, and he'll also be able to link them together for massive points-earning combos.

Joyous news from the house of Capcom this morning as the Japanese developer-publisher confirms that a full sequel to the wonderfully imaginative Viewtiful Joe is currently in the works (and has been since last summer), and will be released on the GameCube and PS2 this winter - we're reliably informed.
Forty new flavours of enemy will also face Joe, and our hero's 'Six Machine' will even be able to transform into a drill, racer, cannon or submarine at various stages in the game.

She operates a little different from Joe and instead of a lot of flashy melee attacks, she packs heat; featuring a pistol which can be exchanged for two later in the game for twice the destruction.
Throughout Joe’s seven levels, various puzzles are thrown in which need to be completed in order to advance; some of them are so complex that anyone new to the series may find themselves spending anywhere up to twenty minutes figuring out how to proceed on a single puzzle.
Viewtiful Joe 2 is a great game that’s a must have by anyone who loved the first.
