Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble (GameCube) Reader Review

Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble utilizes the presentation and settings from the first two action games and combines both with a new play style inspired by battle-centric fighting games, such as Super Smash Bros. Melee. The title pits players as popular characters from the series, including Joe, Captain Blue and Silvia, and challenges them to use special skills and their environments to take each other out in fight free-for-alls. During the matches, gamers can obtain specially crafted "VFX Orbs" that -- when the L or R buttons are pressed -- will enable them to unleash special VFX moves. The game boast a four-player ready "party battle mode," according to Capcom. The mode enables four recognizable VJ characters to duke it out, using special moves, in variously stylized stages.
