Reviewer's Comments

Vietwful Joe is a pretty original game from Capcom where you play Joe who gets sucked into a movie world and has to fight a horde of badguys to get his girlfriend back. It's sort of like a "Streets of Rage" beat-em up but completely 2D with added puzzles and different fighting moves/modes. Control can be difficult at times (especially when the action heats up and you can get flusted!). Some of the puzzles are super hard and the difficulty of the bosses are even worse. The difficulty level is a bit of a put-off - but overall, an OK game.
