A Viewtiful Mistake

I admit i was a little slow to warm up to the original Viewtiful Joe despite being a big fan of superheroes and cel-shaded games since Gungrave. In fact, it took the inclusion of a cel-shaded Dante in the Playstation2 version of Viewtiful Joe to get me interested in the title and pretty soon, i was bowled over by how awesome the game was. If it wasn't for the old school difficulty, i would have gladly replayed the first game after having unlock Dante but the truth was, i had to use a cheat disc to even beat the game on easy mode! You can probably guess that all this talk about a cel-shaded Dante is because i was kinda hoping Leon's cameo in Viewtiful Joe 2 would be something similar to that. Oh boy was i ever wrong....



It all turned out to be some big misunderstanding, at least from what i could remember. The Leon cameo never exists, i know this despite getting only halfway through the game. Because i have met Leon and it's not the Leon from Resident Evil but a level boss. Confused? So was i but sometime at the end of level 3, Joe is confronted by a boss in the name of Cameo Leon, and i'm guessing this boss' name is what led me to think that there was a Leon appearance in this game. So don't be a fool like me, there's no Leon in this game kids.....
