I love Jojo. Or I love what I've experienced of Jojo. It is a really long running manga that would easily require more than 100 hours to fully consume. Since Capcom's game about the 5th arc was so good, I picked up this game about the 1st Arc. It's by Bandai-Namco and specifically PS2 era BN that loved making a mediocre but faithful licensed game. That's pretty much the deal here.
The best part was getting a very good summary/display of the 1st story arc. It taught me who Dio Brando was before becoming an immortal vampire. I also got to meet the first Zeppeli which is a running name/family in the series. Like the Capcom game the voice acting is terrific and they put a lot of money into a throw away game for that at least.
As for the game you punch a bunch. It's got some nice cell shading but mostly you are punching a bunch then using your super attack to end the fight. Don't expect no Godhand. It does have some objective based levels, but mostly those reduce to punch a bunch.
It has side modes where you can play as other characters, but the fighting system isn't that deep so I didn't look into it that much. If you play a lot you can eventually play through the story as Dio. That's a pretty good reward, but I did the calculations and decided it wouldn't pay off.
