Game Overview

Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble is a video game available for the Nintendo GameCube and the PlayStation Portable. It is a slightly mission-based beat'em'up somewhat similar in style to Super Smash Bros....

The Good

Great storyline featuring familiar Viewtiful Joe characters, This game retains the slick presentation and style the series is known for, Good music and voice acting, Special content and game sharing exclusive to the PSP.

The Bad

The action is just too chaotic and confusing, It's often difficult to tell where your character is on the screen, especially in multiplayer, Battles consist of frenzied, unsatisfying button mashing, Unbalanced cast of characters.

The Bottom Line

Created by Capcom, 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. New and familiar characters return -- including Joe, Silvia, Captain Blue Junior, Sprocket, and, exclusive to the PSP, Devil May Cry's Dante -- to compete in versus-mode fighting. You can also engage in Trial Mode for a number of quick mini-games. Along with a single-player story mode, Red Hot Rumble offers wireless action for up to four players. The title also supports game sharing so other PSP owners can check out particular stages and characters from one game disc.

Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble retains the same great style and attitude on the PSP, but the game is too fast and frantic for its own good.

An out-of-control fighter experience never before seen on the PSP, but problems in the game design may confuse and irritate gamers.

The multiplayer modes and mini-game challenges help strengthen the package, but it still doesn't feel anywhere near as fun, funky and fantastic as the first two Viewtiful Joe titles.
