Am I the only one who finds VJ's music totally "blah" and forgettable?

[Johnny Nighttrain]

no, i do too. music is decent, but definitely forgettable.

i got my joe in the mail today from capcom, along with a huge blue HMD shirt and their 2003 catalog..

Was the shirt a pre-order bonus or something? I want the shirt but don't have cash for the game right now, so I'm hoping it can be bought seperately.

[johnk_]

yea, the shirt came w/ the game if you preordered from capcom.com...
and i'm pretty sure it can be ordered seperately.. check their site.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that VJ has the best visual presentation I've ever seen in a game. The game is soaked in slickness.

burg and veggie, thanks for the ideas, but i dont do the return thing, that strikes me as slightly unethical, i have enough games in my pos, im actually finishing buffy this week, so its no big deal. i am pretty sure it will be on the right amount at the local toys r us, so i will likely get it on saturday. i was just annoyed that i have been loyal to this guy,and now i find out i am being ripped off, its a personal thing. I will get it eventually, hell, i have half a mind to buy it at walmart just to be spiteful.

Very tight game so far.

Funny, you should mention it cka , but it does look like Joes girl friend goes down on him in the intro . That was the first thing we said when we saw it too. Havent tried Kids mode so dont know if its any different.

The only thing about the controls that's driving me kooky is that I cant change upper dodge to a button and jump with the analog just doesnt feel right jumping with a button in this game for some reason...

Another thing is that I cant get Joe to do any other moves than his usual punch/kick combos - even though I've pulled off some Eddy Gordo lookin/Capoeira spin kick by accident some how - does he learn moves the furthur he goes into the game? I stopped at the helicopter boss so I wouldnt know, and I'm too tired from work to go much furthur until I get some downtime this weekend...

Something that I've noticed is Capcom's new propensity toward intermission power-upping. It was done in P.N.03, and now it's in VJ. Maybe Mega Man X7 will have something similar, though I can't think of how they'd implement it.

I'm loving it so far. The bosses are great! Progressively more difficult, and their names are histerical.

In Kids mode, Silvia just jumps on Joe and starts kissing him. I haven't played Adults mode yet, though, so they could very well be the same intros.

Level 5(?) boss spoiler...

Nice DMC reference...the boss is named Alastor and has moves like Stinger, Round Trip and High Time. I also read he can be opened up as a playable character.
