Polnareff is a friend and ally of Joseph, who has a Stand called Silver Chariot, and he was one of his companions during his journey to Egypt and in their fight against DIO. However, in the English version (released for Sega Dreamcast), you can also play as Polnareff. In the Japanese game version, you can only play as Joseph Joestar. In this game, we follow Polnareff as he fights against Dio Brando, who is trying to resurrect himself again by taking over another body (which happens quite often). The story takes place during the 19th century in England, France, and Italy.

It was created by Hirohiko Araki and followed the story of Jonathan Joestar, an aristocrat who learns how to fight after he's adopted by a man named George Joestar. Jojo's Bizzare Adventure is a manga series that has been on the market for over 30 years. 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. The type of Stand you’ll get is tied to the character you use. There are two kinds of Stands: active and passive. 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. It’s all about the StandsĪs we mentioned before, Stands play an integral role in the JoJo universe, and they’re also this game’s most unique feature. The Dreamcast version has a condensed version of the plot, although Sega’s console has a visual advantage over the PlayStation. 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. Along with his allies, Jotaro must travel to Egypt to face off against the evil DIO. Jotaro Kujo is a teenager and heir to the Joestar lineage Jotaro develops a Stand, a corporeal manifestation of his willpower. The game follows the events of the Third part of the JoJo saga, Stardust Crusaders.

His characters appear just like they do in the manga, and the sprite work made by Capcom is impeccable. Hirohiko Araki, creator of the Jojo series, works in the game as a creative consultant. Sure, some characters might be a bit obscure, even for fans, but the roster feels well balanced and it includes many popular picks. 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. 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. Each character feels genuinely unique, and the inclusion of character-specific super moves adds an extra layer of strategy to most fights.
