Joe is just an Average Joe who gets sucked into a movie and becomes Viewtiful Joe. I like the art style because it goes for a comic book look combined with action movie stereotypes, and it pulls it off really well. The concept of the game is very cool because Joe's powers involve speeding up and slowing down time, which you have to use not only in combat but also to get past many of the obstacles as you progress through the levels. You absolutely have to learn how to use those abilities well if you want to beat this game because it doesn't take it easy on you. You won't beat it with button mashing and dumb luck, especially against some of these bosses. It can be frustrating, but it's also a really satisfying challenge because you feel like you've earned it when you finally break through. My personal favorite boss from this game is Another Joe. That one was a lot of fun because I enjoy when games force you to fight doppelgangers of yourself. Viewtiful Joe also has a lot of cheese and charm, as you would expect from a comic book/action movie hybrid. Perhaps the most famous is Joe's catchphrase, "Henshin a-go-go," but I have a great personal fondness for "DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVIDSON IS IN THE HOUSE! HULK DAVIDSON IS BORN TO BE WILD!" Davidson also makes the "What, you think you're some kind Mega Man or something?" line, so yeah, that dude is pretty great. Although perhaps the best one to me is Alastor's, "Come on! Help a brother out!" I still find myself saying that line in appropriate situations from time to time to this day. I never played the sequel or the PS2 version with Dante though. Not sure if those were any good, but the first game is a fun time.
