Viewtiful Joe 2 is back and this time Joe's girlfriend Silvia is by his side. The story follows their mission as they battle through themed based levels, taking out enemies with Joe's unique combat techniques.
The gameplay is frantic, with a focus on side-scrolling action. Silvia joins the mission, bringing her own set of skills and abilities, including pompoms and projectile weapons. Joe also has new tricks up his sleeve, such as Replay, which allows him to record a move and play it over three times for a bonus. Another new feature is V-Touch, allowing players to switch between Joe and Silvia during gameplay, useful for solving puzzles along the way.
