About

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is the console version of 1998 Arcade game of the same title. Two console versions were produced. The 1999 PlayStation version is based on JoJo's Venture, but features the additional characters from the second version of the arcade game and an exclusive "Super Story Mode", which covers the entire Stardust Crusaders story arc. The Dreamcast version, also released in 1999, features both the original and revised versions of the arcade game in their original forms.

What players say

A fast, stylish Capcom fighter overflowing with JoJo personality and over-the-top supers, packing a surprisingly faithful arcade port plus a meaty story mode onto the PS1. JP and EN fans alike praise its loving craftsmanship and rate it a high point for the franchise.
