Viewtiful Joe on my Wii!

[Grey Acumen]

Yeah, if any of you people actually thought I was talking about a Viewtiful Joe Wii game, then I have three steps for you to follow:

1) Print out entire contents of the internet

2) Roll up printouts into a rigid tube

3) Smack yourself in the face... HARD

 

With that out of the way. I just wanted to let people know that I just bought Viewtiful Joe for $10 at Best buy. I had heard good things about it, but had other games that took up my attention and I wasn't ready to take a risk on an unproven game for the price it had been originally going for. Seeing it hit $10 I figured, heck, I don't have that many gamecube games. I spent $15 for Excite Truck and that turned out pretty well, $10 for this could be a pretty sweet deal. So far, I've played it for about 2 hours and I'd say I'll get my money's worth within the next two hours of play time.

So far, it's challenging, fun and quirky and the puzzles actually make you think about how the various powers you have can be applied in ways you just wouldn't really expect right off the bat. In many ways, it actually feels like a clean version of No More Heroes crossed with Prince of Persia. (just my guess, since I've only seen, but haven't played those two at all)
