Characters
- Viewtiful Joe
- Sexy Silvia
- Alastor
- Jet Black
- Captain Blue
- Big John - a large Tyrannosaurus Rex, clad in soldier helmet, vest, and with a walkie-talkie, who continuously stalks Joe throughout the game.
- Frost Tiger - the brother of Fire Leo, who wishes to test Joe's heroism.
- Cameo Leon - a chameleon, created by Dr. Cranken who prides himself in turning invisible.
- Flinty Stone - a large, walking stone, who is a narcoleptic.
- Bloody Rachel - an android created by Dr. Cranken for Gedow from all the combat data collected from Joe and Silvia's fights. She initially appears shortly after Frost Tiger falls, disguised as Silvia, allowing her to steal Joe's rainbow oscars. As she battles Joe and Silvia, she transforms into other members of Gedow, but is unable to win. Joe tells her that she has no heart, and Rachel begins to question her existence, ultimately leading her to suffer a mental breakdown. She eventually learns what it means to fight with heart, but Dr. Cranken attempts to destroy his failed creation, though she is easily repaired. Rachel also appears in Red Hot Rumble as a playable character.
- Dr. Cranken - Gedow's second-in-command, Cranken is a purple squid-like mad scientist who creates much of Gedow's weaponry and minions.
Story
Picking up from the end of the first game, an alien fleet dubbed "Gedow" has begun an invasion on Movieworld in an attempt to gain the Rainbow Oscars, 7 statuettes that claim to hold "the power of happy endings". When Viewtiful Joe and his new fighting partner Sexy Silvia arrive at the battlefield, they're first forced to watch as Captain Blue himself is turned into one of the Oscars, then suffer as the Gedow throw them off into an unfamiliar part of Movieland out of spite. With the fate of Movieworld in the balance, Joe and Silvia quickly spring into action.
Gameplay
Viewtiful Joe 2 is a 3D side-scrolling fighting adventure in which the player takes control of Joe in a fictitious world called "Movieworld". Within Movieworld, Joe has "VFX Powers" such as Slow (similar to bullet-time), Mach Speed, and Zoom at his disposal to defeat the enemy. He is joined by girlfriend Silvia, who has also acquired VFX powers. However, Silvia has "Replay", which allows her to repeat an event three times in succession, instead of Joe's Mach Speed. During the game, the player can switch between Joe and Silvia at any time, and holding the "switch" button enables them to use a special attack. In a preview in the first Viewtiful Joe game, Silvia and Joe were shown onscreen fighting at the same time, hinting at co-op play. This idea was apparently dropped later, however.
