JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure

Why kick and punch an opponent into submission when you can drop Cadillacs from the sky or transform yourself into a pair of giant killer scissors? Based on a popular Japanese comic book, this hyperactive two-player fantasy fighting game is among the strangest we’ve seen. As with other animated fighting games, fiercely tapping the buttons results in equally fierce attacks, only in this case, special combinations harness your character’s mental energy to alter reality. A story mode allows you to explore the lives of each of the 22 twisted characters, from Iggi the rabid Chihuahua to Midler, a vixen who can make the ground swallow you whole. Geez, maybe they should’ve called it JoJo’s Fucked-up Acid Trip.
