I own a domestic Gamecube and I always wanted to import japanese games. As a matter of fact, I didn't even know that it was possible to play import games on a Gamecube. Then, last week, I saw an import review for Viewtiful Joe on www.ign.com, and they said that this game was import friendly. As soon as I saw a few screenshots of the game, I gained a strong interest in the game. After surfing the net for a little bit, I found this site and saw that VJ was selling at $60. Even further, I learned about the existence of the FreeLoader, which I believe is one of the coolest gadgets for the NGC. When I finally got the game, I was shocked and amazed at its beauty. I've played a hell lot of beat 'em ups in the past for many systems, but nothing, absolutely nothing comes close to this masterpiece. The graphics and character animations are the best that I've seen so far. One of the game stronger points: its gameplay. Just the fact that you can control time to dodge your enemy attacks, or to speed up and destroy you opponents in a blink of an eye, or to zoom in and zoom out during an attack is beyond my imagination. I think that VJ takes the gameplay to a whole new level. Sorry that this review is a "bit" long, but I just want to make sure that you get this game. You have to experience VJ to fully understand what I'm trying to say. And if you can't wait for the game to come out on October, (which by the way I'm also getting the domestic version ;P) then don't worry and import it. This game is very import friendly and you won't have any problems playing it. Well, I did my part with the review...now is your turn to go and get this game.
