E3 2005 Award (no border)

Viewtiful Joe DS

What’s most impressive about the graphics in Viewtiful Joe DS is how closely they resemble those seen in its GameCube counterparts. Yes, we mean it. Although slightly less detailed and crisp, Viewtiful Joe DS manages to pull off the original games' style easily. The crazy comic-book like art style of the original is preserved along with the series’ character designs. Those doubting the DS’s horsepower might just think twice after taking a gander at this title.

"This one shocked me. It looks virtually identical to the GameCube version, albeit a little more pixelized; Capcom has done a great job. The split-screen VFX is also pulled off flawlessly." - Jon Lindemann

"Games like this show how little of the graphics power of the DS has been tapped." - Daniel Bloodworth

"At a glance, Viewtiful Joe appears to have lost nothing in the move from GameCube to DS, and it looks especially impressive on the small screen." - David Trammell
