GioGio's Bizarre Adventure

GioGio no Kimyō na Bōken: Ōgon no Kaze (ジョジョの奇妙な冒険 黄金の旋風, Jojo no Kimyō no Bōken Ōgon no Kaze?, lit. "GioGio's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Whirlwind") is an action adventure video game made for the PlayStation 2. The game is based on the fifth story arc of Hirohiko Araki's manga series Part V: Vento Aureo.

GioGio no Kimyō na Bōken: Ōgon no Kaze's graphics are similar to other cel-shaded games, like Jet Set Radio. The developer Capcom has utilized a game engine called "Artistoon" in order to create a graphical style similar to Araki's art style in the manga.

Gameplay
Most of GioGio no Kimyō na Bōken: Ōgon no Kaze's gameplay takes place in the form of hand-to-hand combat. The Stands, aid the characters in battle by giving them combat abilities, as well as special attacks. Puzzles are also a part of the game requiring the use of Stands in order to solve them.

Game Modes:
1. Super Story Mode (SS Mode): You follow the travels of Giorno and co. through Italy to confront Diavolo. There are cutscenes between stages and during some fights.

2. Another Story: A secret mode that is unlocked when you complete Super Story Mode. In this mode you replay some of the fights of SS Mode, but now you can choose between 4 characters, which weren't originally on that stage.

3. Gallery: Mode that has Jojo goodies based on how much Jojo points you have. This mode is not initially available, you need to finish at least one SS Mode fight and go back to the main menu. This Gallery contents extras such as soundtracks, stages view, novel dramas, concept arts, images and characters models (for playable, unplayable and unused characters).

4. Options: Sound and control options.

Secret Factors
A main notable feature in GioGio however, is the activation of Secret Factors, various interaction activated elements scattered throughout each scenario that the player progresses to as the game goes on. As the game itself is adapted nearly entirely from the manga, playing out the scenario akin to official canon will activate these factors, giving power-ups to health, stand endurance, and strength to the character, giving a high ranking upon winning the scenario, and is a unique feature that also celebrates its source material and rewards fans and readers of the series.

International Release
The game was going to be released worldwide as "GioGio's Bizarre Adventure", but the heavy musical references in the game caused it to be a Japan exclusive, where copyright law is lax compared to other countries. Araki's refusal to change or remove the references in order to avoid lawsuits made it the primary reason for its exclusion from a worldwide release.

Reception
On release ,Famitsu magazine scored the game a 31 out of 40.
