Any anime fan knows what JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is about. The outlandish tale of the Joestar family has been a cornerstone of the manga industry for years, and its anime adaptation is one of the most popular shows of recent years. Capcom expands on JoJo’s legacy with the aptly titled JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, a fighting game that aims to capture the zany energy of the manga.

But is this fighter a good game for non-JoJo fans? Or is the fan service a bit too much for those looking for a Street Fighter replacement?
Oh? You’re approaching me?
Much like Street Fighter (also developed by Capcom), Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure is a 2-D fighter with anime-inspired sprites. The same team behind Street Fighter 3 worked in this game, and its influence shows: combat in Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure is a pleasant experience with responsive controls and fluid combos.
Each character feels genuinely unique, and the inclusion of character-specific super moves adds an extra layer of strategy to most fights. Inspired by its source material, the game also has a unique “Stand Mode” for each character: ‘Stands’ are guardian spirits that boost their master’s stats, giving them an edge in battle.
The Street Fighter III influence in this game is almost palpable, and that’s a good thing: not only is the game visually pleasing, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is a competent fighting game that can be enjoyed by non-fans of the series. Sure, some characters might be a bit obscure, even for fans, but the roster feels well balanced and it includes many popular picks.
Just like the manga
Hirohiko Araki, creator of the Jojo series, works in the game as a creative consultant. His characters appear just like they do in the manga, and the sprite work made by Capcom is impeccable.
The game follows the events of the Third part of the JoJo saga, Stardust Crusaders. Jotaro Kujo is a teenager and heir to the Joestar lineage; Jotaro develops a Stand, a corporeal manifestation of his willpower. Along with his allies, Jotaro must travel to Egypt to face off against the evil DIO.
Something to keep in mind: only the PlayStation version of the game includes the entirety of Stardust Crusader’s story with its Super Story Mode. The Dreamcast version has a condensed version of the plot, although Sega’s console has a visual advantage over the PlayStation.
It’s all about the Stands
As we mentioned before, Stands play an integral role in the JoJo universe, and they’re also this game’s most unique feature. At its core, this JoJo game is a basic 4-button fighter: three of those buttons are attacks (light, medium, and strong), and the fourth one is the dedicated Stand button.
There are two kinds of Stands: active and passive. The type of Stand you’ll get is tied to the character you use. Just like in the anime, attacking an opponent’s Stand will also damage them, making the use of a Stand (and learning when to withdraw it) an important tactical decision.
Weird, stylish, and all-around bizarre, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is a great fighting game that contains all the best elements from the manga and combines them with solid fighting mechanics. The visual aspect of the game is also well polished, even though some of the sprites suffered a bit when ported to home consoles.
Pros:
- Stylish visuals
- Outstanding gameplay
- Great variety of characters
Cons:
- Some compressed sprites
- Small roster
