Hands-On Review: Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble
Source:
GameSpotViewtiful Joe and the gang are getting ready to rumble on the PSP with Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble. We've got a hands-on look.
Thanks to the success of the original Viewtiful Joe on the GameCube,
the wannabe movie star's video game acting career has lasted longer
than perhaps anyone could have imagined. Joe and his pals have appeared
on multiple consoles, over multiple games, the latest of which is a PSP
port of Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble, which originally appeared in
November of last year on the GameCube. We recently spent some time with
the handheld game to see how far Joe's acting chops (and VFX powers)
have evolved in this latest superpowered incarnation of the series.
If you never played the original game, a quick plot recap of the
game's main story mode is in order. Former superhero and now full-time
action-movie director Captain Blue is once again trying to put together
a string of hit action movies. The only problem is, everyone--including
Joe--wants a starring role in the productions. In order to cast his
lead, Blue sets the many selectable characters in the game against one
another in a series of competitions to find out who deserves to star in
each film.
