Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble
About the Game
The game is different from the previous incarnations , whereas this one takes its gameplay from the Super Smash Bros. series . A major part of the experience is the main heroes, Joe, Capt. Blue and Silvia, along with many others as well as a group of villains fighting each other in a series of battles in multiple environments, such as a construction site, a warehouse and a wrestling ring to name a few. The narrative has Captain Blue getting ready to shoot a new movie, but has trouble deciding who will be the lead character, so he sets up a tournament of the heroes to determine it.
Gameplay & Core Systems
You take control of one of the three heroes, battling a set of enemies, each stage having their own set objectives to complete in order to advance. There is also a party mode that can support up to four-different players in an all out brawl. Players can collect "VFX Orbs" throughout the fight, collecting enough will allow players to use a VFX power on the opponent(s). The PSP port is virtually the same same, but with added content exclusive to it, a single player Trial Mode , where players compete in a series of mini-games, the ability to play as Dante from the Devil May Cry series and a game sharing feature that lets players play wirelessly using Ad-Hoc and play certain stages using only one disc.
