9.0 Presentation
Cut-scenes tell a slightly muddy yet still entertaining tale of Joe's struggle to rescue Silvia. Standard Capcom polish and excellence all around.
9.0 Graphics
Crisp, colorful, and gorgeous. Great art mixes with solid technology for one of the most stylized beat-'em-ups ever seen.
9.0 Sound
Clean stereo effects ring as Joe shatters his foes with power-packed blows. Electronic trance tunes are good, and Joe's voice-acting fits perfectly.
10.0 Gameplay
The best action title on the GameCube -- Viewtiful Joe rules all. Irresistible and highly addictive action combat packed with fantastic flair.
9.0 Lasting Appeal
VJ is crazy tough, and we love it! Worthy unlockables, but you'll want to keep replaying forever based on the awesome gameplay mechanics alone.
One of the greatest games I've played in years -- do yourself a favor, and read the full review over at IGN (all 4 pages, you won't regret it).
My only advice: GET OFF YOUR ASS, AND BUY THIS GAME!
