Randomness Thing

In spirit with the new now airing anime Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, the next game that I’m going to talk about is a fighting game with the same name.

Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, is a fighting game developed by Capcom based on Hirohiko Araki‘s manga of the same title. It was originally released in Japan 1998 as an arcade fighting game. It was then ported to the Playstation and Dreamcast a year later. In August 2012, it then received a HD remake for the PS3 and Xbox 360.

In this 3rd part, it tells a story about Jotaro Kujo. After developing a mysterious powers that are called Stands, he was then visited by his grandfather Joseph Joestar and is told about his ancestors and the curse that their bloodline has face through decades. After Jotaro’s mother fell ill due to her body not able to control her newly developed Stand, it’s then revealed that the eternal enemy of the Joestar family, Dio Brando is still alive by taking control of Jonathan Joestar’s body, ancestor of both Jotaro and Joesph. The only way to safe his mother is by killing Dio and ending the curse for good.  On their adventure they also meet other Stand users, some are friends that share the same goal, and some are strong foes that are loyal servants to Dio, the vampire.
