Official Viewtiful Joe DS discussion thread

Well, I finally got around to buying this. Took back some crap component cables to Best Buy today and while browsing through the DS titles noticed it was only $19.99. Love it so far, it's amazing how close it is to the GC rev for gameplay. Less enemies on screen of course, but the slow mo is all there. Graphics are impressive for a DS game as mentioned before (can't wait to see this on a Lite). The scratch takes some getting used to but not as bad as you would think. Only on the first stages but am really enjoying the game so far.

edit: Been experimenting with the scratch and split more, love it. Rubbing the screen to rain down debris on the robots is simple and great fun.

This game always looked interesting to me but the complete lack of unlockables turned me off. Every VJ game should have unlockable difficulty levels and characters.

you should buy it because the game is damn good and more fresh and new than VJ2 was

I have to admit I haven't yet brought myself to finish VJ2. I can't put my finger on it, it just doesn't have the magic of the original.

Same here.
