Playing Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood

- This time on Playing we're tackling Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood, for the Playstation 2, a weird adaptation of a weird manga about incredibly buff men who breathe to punch sunlight into vampires, and that's somehow really boring.
It's a 3D Beat em up that puts faithfulness in adapting its source material over fun gameplay and it pretty much is terrible, but has a strange lot of unique per fight mechanics and really seems to care about presenting Jojo well, it just can't.

"Two playable Speedwagons" should be a back-of-the-box feature
this comment needs to be pinned
Speedwagon is afraid...
... Because he has a clone.

EVEN SPEEDWAGON IS CLONED
Nah just name the game “two speedwagons” and it’ll make wii sports look like the culling 2

Imagine the people who got confused by your comment
lol
@@serjdown8760 i am a jojo fan and got confused for a moment, because i thought he was implying Dio is the main character, i wasn't expecting the classic joke
I forgot that was a thing since the anime didn't even elaborate in it
@@HexRox it's statet in like the second ep in part 3 that dio is using Jonathans body
"A few months later joestar is out for blood, no real reason just felt like punching someone again."
Holy shit that's the most not-Jonathan thing i ever heard
"Dio Brando is a bit of a wrong'un" in the same way that juggling enriched plutonium rods is a bit dangerous
It's not recommended
Never skip a part
Justin Y. Hey it's ya boi
How....
Justin Y. Yes.
Oh hey there
1 and 2 are slow. If you've really don't feel like having a dialogue heavy section and prefer fast paced action, feel free to skip. Sure there's some references you miss but there neglidgable tbh. You really only need to know a few things from parts 1 and 2.
Jonathan Joestar, pure of heart, swole of body. You were too good for this world... or this game.
Jonathon Deserved better
Favorite JoJo to be honest
Pure of heart, dumb of ass
Or the Phantom Blood movie...
@@AceTrainerX3 oh yeah that movie
18:46
"Like its going to turn *the whole world* into a vampire"
Foreshadowing [THE WORLD]
I just thought it was a Smashing Pumpkins reference...
The world is a vampire
Reminder that this is the one of the only surviving pieces of the 2007 Phantom Blood movie.
Indeed
More games need pose buttons.
TheSouloftheDragon *All* games need pose button!
Like fortnite?
Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon has a middle finger button and in Postal 2 you can piss, that is something. Oh and Saints Row 3 & 4 have a taunt feature. And pretty sure there is a Doom mod that has posing, well aside from Dio Doom obviously!
HappyBeezerStudios - by Lord_Mogul most of the yakuza series has taunting.
i had an idea with an jojo game with a pose button that even rewards you
I hope this game can be hacked so buff Johnathan can fight the bullies.
One day
IL4NR You can actually play as about anyone in the game after you beat the entire game

@@dobletmatutino9446 Hammer Speedwagon, right?
you can just be good at the game
I forgot how absurd their muscularity was in part one. Being built like a brick shithouse is one thing but these guys go so far beyond event that.
Julius Orpana johnathan is a literal wall of a man
Anime Arnold Schwarzenegger vs Anime Dolph Lundgren
I know, right?
It reminds me of this one line from Kim Possible: "Everyone in the future is ripped!" Except with JoJos, it's the logical opposite. The farther _back_ in time you go, the more ripped people are. As the universe goes on - and Araki formalizes his art style - everyone gets slimmer. Less steroid-abusing weight lifters, and more swimmers or gymnasts. At the start, though, if the character was male, they were swole as hell. Even the children.
But then comes that the fights are becoming more about wits than brute strength as the series goes on. So only fitting. Still there is a certain thing about those incredibly ripped walls, especially in a setting that is not trying too hard to have fun.
The farther away Araki gets from Fist of the North Star, the slimmer the Jojo’s become.
Jonathan is pretty much English Kenshiro, with Hamon replacing Hokuto.
I can't disagree with a single one of your criticisms of the Phantom Blood plot, but goddamn it, there's something about a dickish vampire fighting his adopted brother's oxygen Sun karate in the Victorian Era that I fucking love.
Good video btw, had no idea PB for the PS2 was such a clusterfuck.
Miselus I have always thought it's the weakest part, but it still just so charming somehow! Jonathan is so likeable, Dio so much fun to hate and Speedwagon is... Well, he's Speedwagon!
Miselus Because Phantom Blood PS2 was made for tie-in for Lost 2007 Phantom Blood movie(Studio APPP basically turned Jojo into Hokuto no Ken even the designs look badass)
Kano Sazanami yeah it definitely does look like Fist of the North Star a bit lol
@Kano Sazanami Really? That one that Araki removed from circulation? Man, that movie's backstory is so intriguing, I really wanna see it (apart from the 15 minutes on UA-cam).
Miselus watch the anime. It's fantastic and each part has a different protagonist
"Poison is just a stricter time limit."
Well said my man.
I had a good laugh at the interpretations that you received from others.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a frog that needs punching...
*"ALL WOMEN ARE QUEENS, DIO"* is iconic and 100% in line with Jonathan's character, 10/10
22:50 I like to point to the moment where Jack the ripper explodes out of a horse as the point that Araki takes this series to crazytown and never looks back.
Do not skip parts you plebs
skip every part
They'll miss the deep character development of Brat A and Brat B
Phantom blood was lame as shit sorry but it’s true.
Jonok hot take: skip parts as you like but read every part at some point
Watched 1 through 4 all the way to 7 because I already knew about why it was in an alternate universe. And I was just more interested in it than part 5 went back read 5, now I’m on six and I’ve read the very early parts of 8.
Johnathan would've been able to defeat those first 2 brats if he had his stand King Crimson.
Wrong part chief
@@ovahlord1451 That's probably a reference to the 2007 Phantom Blood OVA where Jonathan is voiced by the same voice actor as Diavolo , the user of King Crimson.
@@johanlieb1231 I really couldn't tell, just like I had no idea EoH Johnny was anime Koichi. Japanese seiyuus are on another level
@@johanlieb1231 How is it an OVA if it was meant for theatrical release? Y'know what an OVA is right?
I can’t believe that Jack the Ripper did again
Dastard
"Bizarre situation"
"He is already dead"
I see what you did there.
The thing about Jojo's at least the later one's, is that the very nature of each fight is unique, and usually devoid of any actual combat, so it's not exactly tailor made for good video game adaptions.
Just do what Heritage for the Future did and say fuck that and make it a dope one on one fight.
late response but... I believe the best genre to suit a JoJo game would be a graphic-adventure game like Monkey Island for example. Each fight would be its own puzzle to solve and seeing how contrived and crazy the solutions are in the manga it would fit right in with the old Lucas Arts and Sierra games.
@@retardedfishfrogs1 The golden wind game got very close to being a perfect adaptation. Every mission is a puzzle boss fight. Game's like fury pulled that off too so a jojo game that has you take part in most of the fights from all the parts would be dope. Maybe add a multiplayer 1v1 mode and custom fight scenarios with the added effect of using certain stands would break the match like vanilla ice being able to one shot people but your screen goes black while you use it.
"Pose has tech" is one of the best things I've ever heard
Part 1 is personally my favorite, but I am far for oblivious to its flaws. I agree the middle of it is just.. not very good. but I love the start and the end of it, and the anime version was my introduction to the series, so I'm a bit nostalgic for it.
I think the best part of it is the relationship between the main villain and the protagonist, because in all the parts that follow its really not that very interesting when it comes to thag aspect. the motivation for Joseph is just to kill the big bad to save the world, Jotaro wants to save his mommy, Josuke wants to.... i don't even remember? Johnathan has some stakes and past with Dio at least which I like quite alot.
I'd love you to cover more of these weird old JoJo games. they seem charmingly atrocious and I love it.
Toolala
Yeah I love how Johnathan struggles between him wanting a brother in Dio and having to kill the murderous vampire that he truly is. As I've mentioned in another comment, I think the Tarkus and Brufford fight actually has some symbolism to his inner struggle with this in an interesting way. It's this constant want to forgive and love Dio despite all he's done that makes me love Johnathan so much and makes the ending one of the best.
From what I recall, the Vento Aureo game is really good, if janky at times, and HFTF is only let down by limiting itself to Part 3 characters, which was probably because of the OVA adaptation that released around a similar time.
As someone who got into Part 1 because of the action, the early parts bore me (even if it's supposed to set up Jon and Dio's relationship) because there is barely any action aside from Jonathan receiving one-sided asswhooping and endless misery. Also mystic powers weren't a thing yet.
@@inconemay1441 The fight between Jon and Bruford is pretty good. its pretty light on the action for sure, some of it is less memorable than it should be, jack the reaper sounds great in concept but his fight is kinda just nothing.
Tarkus is alright, and the last fight with Dio and Jonathan is p good.
I still like Part 1 for what it is and I actually like Jonathan.
Ryan Hatfield same. As good as the other jojo’s are, Jonathan has to be my favorite. I say have to, because despite my choice to dive into part 3 first at the recommendation of some shitlord, Jonathan still tops my list. I think it’s because of the kindness he developed as a character.
Not only is Phantom Blood my favorite part, but Jonathan Joestar is my favorite Jojo.

Seth_Exia
Hell yeah my dude, first person to comment on my avatar. Layzner is peak 80's mecha, as far as I'm concerned.
Part 1 is like 9 episodes why skip it?
Myself exactly. Part 1 in its entirety is NOT bad. People hate school days and the second season of maken kii more than it. Anyway, if you start phantom blood, you WILL finish phantom blood. It takes like a week to get through, Jonathan and Dio are wel established characters in their own right, and if you don't care for ANYTHING in part 1 at all, then you haven't wasted time in
And Part 2 is just 17 episodes. All the other parts are much longer.
As someone who doesn't like, but understand the purpose of, part 1 heres my two cents. Part 1 is important in the grand scheme of things. But in and of itself it (or rather the anime at least) is poorly paced and the absolute worst in the series at ass pulling. Theres like, an hour long cut of all the important bits of Part 1 that was officially released by DP so I would suggest that to a new fan, and if they like it enough to then go back and watch it proper

Hating Jonathan Joestar is a JoJo reference: knowyourmeme.com/photos/1887814-jojos-bizarre-adventure
I mean, he's probably the most bland JoJo, but he's still likeable.
@@AceTrainerX3 that's jotaro kujo
@@AceTrainerX3 :(
@@DP-jt6xx No, there's a lot of hidden depth to Jotaro which is also really well explored in later parts. In part 4, before he's fucked up his entire life, he has a kind of relaxed, goofy side that comes through rarely but is really enjoyable.
God, the dramatic reading of those attempts at interpreting the story was hilarious!
On a side note... been following you for about half a year now, each video a very nice watch. Thank you and love from Russia!
This game looks like a lego version of Yakuza,but DON'T BULLY JONATHAN
Hokuto no Ken got a Yakuza-style spinoff game, so I hope we get a new JoJo game in the same style.
I'd love that
Am I hearing the blaster sound from Star Wars
Also those interpretations were hilarious
Wished you did it with the whole game
Lets see what people come up with
Hah, I think what I sent to my test subjects was already frying their brains, any more may do some permanent damage
How. Do. I. Find. You. Everywhere?
It's weird that they picked Part 1 for this. A part with very little action for the first half, and not too many memorable fight scenes past the the initial setup of situations. Part 2 would've been a much better fit if they wanted to keep it to pre-Stand fisticuffs. Part 3 has the easiest format to turn into a brawler since that's just episodic fights that are overall meaningless to anything and anyone.
Aboveup Except Part 1’s fights are all fist fights, whereas every other part has strategic fights that don’t work as simple beat-em-ups
There's a motive they picked Part 1, to create hype for the Phantom Blood movie that was released some months later (game was released in October 2006 and the movie February 2007 to coincide with the series 20th anniversary) the game and movie even share voice actors.
This movie being infamous for being shelved after its short theatrical premiere for unknown motives and to this day, the only footage that exists of it on the internet (other than the short trailer) is some work prints that a student has given as a part of a university project.
it was made for the anniversary
I thought Araki hated it because of the changes. Speedwagon didn't even join Jonathan!
a speedwagon spinoff series is the only way to fix the debt to society that studio appp has
Sono Chi no Sodomy.

*sadame
Actually, I think that's the joke, since the Japanese word "Sadame" sounds like the English word "Sodomy".
you see, 'lectrode gets it
13:06
Well, I mean it would've been really weird if Jonathan had gotten a law degree, because then both him and Dio would've been bloodsuckers.

I think the ideal genre for a jojo game would be a puzzle game that pretends it's an action game
So, Punch Out with far, far, FAR more punching.
So basically, Jojo's pitter patter pop?
I liked this video until you said to skip part one... just no.. don't skip parts
If you bothered to fucking listen, you'd realize what was said was that if someone was going to drop it, they could skip ahead to part two, not that people should skip the first part.
@Insubstantial Croquembouche
So what you're saying is that if i don't like part 1, i should just drop the whole manga.
Gotcha, thanks.
@Insubstantial Croquembouche thanks for the info, Might start there then go back to the older stuff later.
@Hope Bagel a bit late but I'd say your kind of correct. To get the full context of the start of part 2, episodes 1 to 3 and the episodes 8 and 9 are important. Technically William Zeppelis arc is not needed to know as Ceasar explains it anyways .
I'd say half of phantom blood is needed for set up for part 2, as all you need to really know in context is the mask,and speed wagon.
Dio has very little relevance to part 2 other then a name drop and the context of his relationship with the joestars matters mostly just in part 3 where Dios actions in part 3 are the most relevant to later parts.
The odd thing is I'd say part one is more important to part two, but because of how removed the events of part 2 are to the rest of the parts the events in part 1 tend to only matter in passing in part 3. Due to part 3 events being the catalyst for the other parts and the phasing out of hamon for stands part 1 and 2 take a back seat when it comes to ongoing narrative.
Honestly, I wouldn't mind if someone remastered this game and made it less clunky. This seems really good for a concept, yet it was executed poorly.
You dislike Jonathan. I dislike this this video.
100% based
It's literally the most wrong opinion you can have
@@TheWonkster Part 1 best part
This is the greatest comment I've seen on UA-cam

Too early
MY SIDES ARE IN SPACE
THE KENNEDY SPACE CENTER
There was no stands in part 1
I could undestand people beginning JoJo's with Part 2, but I feel a big part of the appeal of Part 3 comes from knowing Dio's Part 1 story. Because without it, he is the plainest villain to ever exist in a series. He is totally just a background character. Sure he is kinda scary with some of the scenes he appears in before his final battle. But he is absent for most of the part and its honestly all fine as long as you know him and his backstory and his motivations from Part 1. So... yeah. I guess at least watch a recap or something.
*HEY BABY*
Jesus these people hating on Jonathan especially you too mate Jonathan's a somewhat bland character but for goodness sake he doesn't deserve the hate
Araki i think explained that he wanted Jonathan to seem the most heroic out of all of his descendants do they seem like heroes as well even with their more negative characteristics like stealing, cockyness etc.
Never found him bland . I find Jonathan's sincerity and kindness touching.
normie: * *skip parts* *
jojo fans: *R E E E E E E E E E E E*
There is no series that needs the RGG treatment more than JoJo. Imagine playing Joseph running around 1930s New York? Imagine all the wacky substories he could get involved in!
I fucking love how faithfully this game adapts the original part 1 artstyle, so everyone looks like a fridge with a gym membership and an overactive male hormonal gland. Especially since the games cover has John Boy and Dio in the later part male model style. Talk about misleading marketing.
I’m pretty sure something went wrong with the interpretation document because I can’t access it but even without it this video was super hilarious and got you another subscriber. Thanks for the content
24:47-24:50
When my crush sees me
All I've ever seen of this game has been utterly bizarre, anyway interesting to see you're also into JoJo. In terms of Phantom Blood itself it is among the weakest of the part, not particularly through any fault of its own, it's just that the parts succeeding it are so good, though the current state of JoJolion is leaving me a little mixed. I wonder if there's going to be another JoJo game in the near future, hopefully an RPG or, in my weird fever dream of an idea, Lego JoJo.
The Insane Penguin Lego Jojo would be solid just watch dio explode into Lego.
But yeah I agree part 1 is the weakest part as the other parts are just better as part 1 was kinda testing the water kinda how part 3 was for stands before going into this stand will punch you and somehow blow up the street.
check out the 7th stand user. its a fan made jojo rpg and is honestly better then any other jojo game we will ever get
Lego Dimensions pack?
the jojo games could use a unique fighting engine where it could allow the player to figure out how to defeat them similar to jojo itself. the main problem with that is that anyone whos read it will know how to beat them.
Part 1 is the best part, stop this bullshit about it being the weakest
Vento aureo game?
Do it or I will cease to exist
Squishy Toast c e a s e
I really need to watch jojo
Read the manga

Yes you do
DO IT.

i had a heart attack when tehsnakerer said a liverpoodlian noble lad i thought every one forgot about liverpool
8:18 you thought your first kiss would be with Jonathan, but it was with I DIO!
Oh god, thank you so much for opening those interpretations. That was one of the funniest things I've ever had the pleasure of witnessing. Also, good job on the review! I don't usually stick to half-hour long videos, but this one was entertaining from start till finish.
Graphics are surprisingly good
I think this video is what got me into JoJo... I blame you for everything lol
>Has Played 7th Stand User, Hasn't Reviewed It
>WRYYYYYYYY
Never skip parts!
Oh man. I worked at this developer back in 2000 and never realized they did this until recently. This is nuts.
Not gonna lie, I'd love to see modern game retellings of Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency that uses similar Hamon mechanics.
Yakuza games are coming to PC! So excited!
Being a JoJo fan that's currently playing through Kiwami, this was a strange coincidence finding this comment here.
How are you finding it? I heard its Sega's best series right now.
I'm about 45 hours in, and I'm loving it! Just getting some last ends taken care of before I start the final mission. Planning on Platinuming it, so I'll be playing well into NG+.
Good to hear it is so long. I'm going to have to wait till August 1st but I'm sure it will be worth it.
Eh i'd still say PSO2 is the best thing sega is doing at the moment
I love seeing older interpretations of JoJo parts before the anime came out. Especially Zeppeli's gay pride hat
"I don't think the whole immortality thing worked out"
AY AYYYYAYAYAYAAAAA YAAAAA
I would love to see a remake, not remaster, but a remake of Phantom Blood PS2 and Golden Wind PS2 in the future
Thank you for this playthrough
Those interpretations were hilarious lmao
It feels like Christmas morning.
How can *ANYONE* dislike Johnathan Joestar?!
Hes the most gentleman JoJo!
JoJo World Order apparently they can. Not me though. Jonathan is bae.
+Cherti
Jonathan is the most upstanding JoJo
Joseph is the most smart JoJo
Jotaro is a more serious JoJo (thats why he won against Dio, Jonathan always was a noble fighter, not a serious one)
Josuke is basically an even more comedic Joseph.
Can't wait for Part 5 this October. HYPE!
Jonathon is an amazing character I loved him in the anime and honestly golden wind seems better gamepley wise
I got into JoJo's because of Mr Icarus's DIO Doom mod review and since then I have been seriously invested in the anime, even as someone who really does not watch anime.
Having just finished part 4, this review and the part 5 announcement could not have come at a more opportune time, so hype.
Pominator
Get excited, part 5 has some of the best fights in the series! Beach boy is one of my favorites!
It's good to see a video on this game. I've been aware of it for a while, but didn't look into it much say for the 1 gameplay clip and yeah it doesn't look like I'm missing much.
Which is kind of a shame, since I really like part 1 as a story, but sometimes being too faithful is a detriment to a game, especially one like this.
20:07
Unironically one of the funniest Part 1 related things I've seen
Posing to cancel combos actualy transverse over to the 2013 fighting game, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle
I really like the idea of an experiment being incorporated into the video "review".
YOU LIKE JOJOS? HORY SHEIT!
OH MY GODUH!
I'm so glad I capitalized on the PS2 Phantom Blood economy when it was still new. I was obsessed with how garbage it looked and I'm so glad it's getting brought into the spotlight now. Still better than Eyes of Heaven.
Can we just talk about Johnathon and his glorious running animation?
The ultimate jostar technique!
Say what you want about this game, but having to pose to recharge your abilities is about the most Jojo thing I can think of.
Your friends retelling made me cry
Any game with breathing as a mechanic is obviously good.
That pose button is maximum JoJo. Every JoJo game should have it.
What do you mean, don't let his figure fool me? Are you telling me that brits in the 1800s weren't super manly and pure if they were gentlemen and had muscles that would make Hercules blush, even when they were 12? Prepostorous.
14:54 was that "uoooo" supposed to be a "wryyyy" ?
I want platinum games to do a jojo beat em up
"I personally dislike Jonathan"
You blaspheme this day.
You have my thanks for making this great video covering this game. I have both Jojo PS2 games and I been wanting a video like this for this game because I can’t really play my Jojo PS2 copies because they’re region locked. Also it feels uncomfortable hearing different voices coming from these characters.
Can we get good Jojo games please.
Like part 1 Is the most bland part but this seems to have set the standard of what the fans accept.
to be fair ASB was the last 7/10 of the JoJo video game series
oh yeah asb was the last 7/10 in the series. i was hoping eyes of heaven was going to be a more improved asb
eyes of heaven can only really be enjoyed by fans of the series.
Heritage for the Future is pretty god tier. I pin that on Capcom knowing how to make a good fighting game and not blinding sticking to source material to the point of gimping the gameplay.
heritage for the future is infinitely more fun than asb, i don't really play fighting games but asb feels like it rewards button mashing when playing with friends
I like that you played the Hol Horse theme from eyes of heaven at the end. Song sounds like it could be from King of The Hill
37:44 Looks like Teshnakerer found a new way to find Heaven
Pretty good for fan service I guess. BTW are you gonna do the PS2 Giogio's Bizzare Adventure Golden Wind video?
those plots from the panel experiment sound like some rough JoJo abridged version
Holy Speedwagon, you've gotta do that experiment again for the Part Five game.
Since you've done a video on the Phantom Blood game, would you consider taking a look at the Golden Wind PS2 game?
JoJo parts are like videogame cutscenes. You can only skip them after seeing them once!
i really do hope he tries out the Vento Aureo game since its unironically alot of fun and is super underrated
I fucking love the idea of the breathing mechanics.
Reminds me of the ki pulse system in Nioh.
