Les graphismes du jeu peuvent être comparés à d'autres jeux en cel shading de l'ère PS2 comme Jet Set Radio. Le développeur, Capcom, a utilisé un moteur de jeu appelé "Artistoon" afin de créer un style graphique similaire au style artistique d'Araki dans le manga.
Le jeu devait sortir en Amérique du Nord le 24 octobre 2002 et en Europe à l'hiver 2002, mais pour des raisons inconnues, il a été retardé et finalement annulé.
La majeure partie du gameplay de GioGio's Bizarre Adventure se déroule sous la forme de combats à mains nues. Tous les combats se déroulent en 1 contre 1, et chaque combat est équivalent à un boss. Le joueur doit apprendre les mouvements et les attaques de son adversaire afin de trouver une ouverture et de contre-attaquer correctement.
Les personnages peuvent donner des attaques de mêlée, utiliser des capacités spéciales exclusives ou invoquer leur Stand pour attaquer. Le Stand du personnage l'aide au combat en modifiant ses mouvements, généralement pour infliger des dégâts plus importants. Les barrages de stands et les attaques similaires sont appelés tirs de stand dans le jeu ; les attaques de tirs de stand peuvent être chargées pour augmenter leur durée, certaines permettant au joueur d'attaquer séparément de son stand et de créer ainsi des combos. La santé ne peut être restaurée qu'en obtenant des facteurs secrets, ce qui demande au joueur un degré de compétence plus fin que dans d'autres jeux du même genre pour gagner.
Tant que le Stand d'un personnage est actif, une jauge de Stand au-dessus de la santé du joueur se vide. Les actions telles que subir des dégâts ou bloquer des attaques pendant que le stand est actif font également baisser la jauge. Une rupture de stand se produit si la jauge est épuisée, laissant le personnage incapable d'invoquer son stand ou d'utiliser ses capacités spéciales jusqu'à ce que la jauge se remplisse à nouveau.
Les batailles sont notées en fonction de la performance du joueur, avec jusqu'à 200 points GioGio à gagner par bataille. Tous les facteurs secrets d'un niveau totalisent 100 points GioGio, et le pourcentage de la santé restante du joueur constitue les 200 points restants. Un rang D est obtenu si les points du joueur pour le niveau sont égaux ou supérieurs à 90, avec 120 ou plus pour le rang C, 150 ou plus pour le rang B, 170 ou plus pour le rang A, et 190 ou plus pour le plus haut rang, le rang S. Les points obtenus avec la santé et les points obtenus avec les facteurs secrets sont stockés séparément, ce qui permet au joueur de gagner des points dans un domaine tout en conservant ses points dans l'autre (bien que le rang donné n'en tienne pas compte).
Dans le mode Autre histoire, les facteurs secrets n'existent pas et ne sont donc pas notés, ce qui réduit de moitié les points requis pour les rangs et plafonne à 100 le nombre total de points par combat. Comme il y a 21 combats dans le mode Super Histoire et 60 combats dans le mode Autre Histoire, un total de 10 200 points GioGio peut être gagné dans l'ensemble du jeu, bien que seuls 8 000 points soient nécessaires pour tout débloquer dans le mode Galerie.
L'une des caractéristiques notables de la version PS1 d'Heritage From The Future est la présence de facteurs secrets, des objectifs secondaires disséminés dans chaque niveau. Chaque étape peut comporter de un à quatre facteurs secrets. En jouant chaque combat comme dans le manga, vous activerez ces facteurs. Une fois activés, les facteurs secrets augmentent la santé et l'endurance du joueur, et influencent fortement les résultats de l'étape. De nombreux facteurs secrets confèrent également au joueur des avantages allant de la désactivation de certaines attaques ennemies à la victoire instantanée de la bataille. Un compteur situé à côté de la santé du joueur affiche le niveau de Facteur Secret, avec un maximum de 10 : au niveau maximum de Facteur Secret, les jauges de santé et de Stand auront doublé de longueur. Il existe de nombreuses occasions où les facteurs secrets doivent être réalisés dans un ordre spécifique pour les atteindre tous.
Suivant les événements de Vento Aureo, le mode principal du jeu comporte 22 chapitres (21 jouables et 1 entièrement constitué de cutscenes). Dans chaque chapitre, le joueur affronte un adversaire différent.
Expand/Collapse All
Le jeu commence par un résumé des parties précédentes pour donner un contexte au joueur. Une scène montre Giorno, qui vient de travailler comme taxi à l'aéroport, agressé par Luca larme-à-l'oeil. Luca, qui contrôle l'aéroport, exige un paiement de Giorno, et finit par être assommé. Plus tard, Bruno Bucciarati confronte Giorno pour l'interroger sur l'agresseur de Luca. Le joueur incarne Giorno et combat Bucciarati. La première partie du niveau est un tutoriel qui apprend au joueur à attaquer, esquiver, invoquer son Stand et tirer. Après avoir enseigné au joueur les facteurs secrets, le tutoriel se termine et Bucciarati commence à attaquer.
Blessé, Bucciarati s'enfuit du tramway et Giorno le poursuit. Giorno et Bucciarati se retrouvent sur une place de la ville que Bucciarati se téléporte à l'aide de fermetures éclair. Giorno doit trouver Bucciarati et le blesser suffisamment pour activer une scène où il se cache dans un civil.
Lorsque le joueur attaque le civil dans lequel il se cache, Bucciarati cesse de fuir et commence à attaquer directement Giorno.
Afin d'entrer dans le gang, Giorno rencontre Polpo, un capo de Passione. Polpo lui donne un briquet et lui demande de le garder allumé pendant 24 heures. Dans la cour de son école, un concierge éteint le briquet par accident. Lorsque le concierge le rallume, le Stand Black Sabbath surgit, tue le concierge et se retourne pour attaquer Giorno. Giorno doit vaincre Black Sabbath dans la cour de l'école. Cependant, Black Sabbath se cache dans les ombres projetées par le bâtiment et peut attraper Giorno pour le blesser. Des oiseaux volent occasionnellement sur la carte, et Black Sabbath peut attaquer depuis leurs ombres.
Bucciarati présente Giorno à son équipe : Leone Abbacchio, Guido Mista, Pannacotta Fugo et Narancia Ghirga. Pericolo, un capo de la bande, arrive pour récupérer la fortune de Polpo, dont Bucciarati est déjà en possession. Pericolo promeut Bucciarati au poste de capo et charge son équipe de protéger la fille du patron, Trish. Narancia est envoyé en mission pour faire des achats. Cependant, il tombe rapidement sur Formaggio, un membre de l'équipe d'assassins qui cherche à capturer Trish. Le joueur contrôle maintenant Narancia et doit vaincre Formaggio. Le joueur peut envoyer Aerosmith et contrôler l'avion, obtenant ainsi l'accès à son radar au prix de l'immobilisation de Narancia. Le combat est rendu difficile par la capacité de Formaggio à rétrécir et à se cacher dans la scène. De plus, si Little Feet coupe Narancia, il rétrécit temporairement et doit esquiver les attaques d'un Formaggio relativement géant.
Alors que l'équipe s'inquiète de la sécurité de leur cachette, Bucciarati reçoit un message du patron de Passione. Le patron charge le groupe de retrouver une clé dans les ruines de Pompéi. Fugo, Giorno et Abbacchio sont envoyés à Pompéi. Cependant, Fugo est pris en embuscade par Illuso, un autre membre de l'équipe d’assassins, et se retrouve dans le monde des miroirs. Le joueur contrôle Fugo sans son Stand et doit éviter d'être vaincu par Illuso pendant deux minutes complètes. Cependant, cette tâche est rendue complexe au début par le fait que le mouvement horizontal du joueur est reflété dans le monde miroir. Une fois que le joueur a survécu pendant deux minutes, le niveau se termine.
Dans une cinématique, Illuso découvre la capacité de Purple Haze à libérer un virus mangeur de chair à travers le cadavre en décomposition d'un corbeau. De retour dans le monde réel, Giorno et Abbacchio se disputent sur la marche à suivre. Alors que Giorno pense que sauver Fugo est la priorité absolue, Abbacchio donne la priorité à l'objectif. Abandonnant Giorno, Abbacchio se précipite dans la mosaïque de chiens pour récupérer la clé, mais découvre qu'Illuso l'a suivi à l'intérieur.
Comme dans le niveau précédente, Abbacchio est piégé dans un monde miroir aux commandes inversées. Cependant, Abbacchio se rend compte qu'il garde le contrôle total de son Stand, et conserve donc la capacité d'activer son Stand dans le monde réel (dont les contrôles ne sont pas inversés). L'objectif du combat est d'attaquer Illuso jusqu'à ce qu'il ait perdu un certain nombre de PV, après quoi le niveau se termine. Illuso passe fréquemment du monde normal au monde miroir, ce qui oblige le joueur à alterner entre Abbacchio et son Stand.
Après avoir vaincu Abbacchio, Illuso se lance à la poursuite de Giorno. Mais en le traînant à l'intérieur du miroir, Illuso se rend compte que Giorno s'est infecté avec le virus de Purple Haze, et sort rapidement du monde miroir avant que le virus ne le fasse fondre. Avec moins d'une minute à vivre, Giorno charge Fugo et son Stand d'achever Illuso. Le joueur contrôle à nouveau Fugo, qui a cette fois accès à son Stand Purple Haze. Illuso passe à nouveau du monde normal au monde miroir, obligeant Fugo à passer de lui-même à Purple Haze. Lorsqu'il contrôle Purple Haze, le joueur doit veiller à ce qu'il ne s'éloigne pas trop de Fugo, sous peine de voir sa tendance à se nettoyer s'activer.
Suivant les instructions écrites sur la clé, l'équipe Bucciarati monte dans un train en direction de Florence, avec pour objectif final d'atteindre Venise. Ayant reçu l'instruction de prendre une tortue à la gare, Bucciarati remarque un trou sur le dos de la tortue ayant la forme de la clé. En insérant la clé dans le trou, le Stand de la tortue s'active, créant une pièce secrète à l'intérieur de la clé pour que l'équipe puisse s'y cacher. Pendant ce temps, deux assassins, Prosciutto et Pesci, sont également montés dans le train mais n'ont pas réussi à trouver l'équipe. Prosciutto active son Stand, The Grateful Dead, pour attirer l'équipe en faisant vieillir rapidement tout le monde dans le train. Alors que l'équipe commence à ressentir les effets du Stand, les deux assassins découvrent la tortue dans le wagon restaurant. Cependant, Bucciarati émerge, assomme Pesci et affronte Prosciutto. Le joueur contrôle Bucciarati et son Stand Sticky Fingers, l'objectif du combat étant la défaite de Prosciutto. Cependant, le pouvoir de vieillissement de The Grateful Dead réduit lentement la santé de Bucciarati au fil du temps, et Prosciutto peut utiliser une attaque de saisie pour accélérer brièvement la perte de santé.
Prosciutto is thrown out of the train thanks to Sticky Fingers's zippers. Pesci quickly awakens and manages to stop the train, but emerges from the train to find Prosciutto under one of the train cars, in grave condition. Bucciarati exits the train through a zipper in front of Pesci, who is determined to take revenge for his brother's impending death. The player controls Bucciarati and must defeat Pesci. Pesci uses his fishing rod Stand Beach Boy, which allows him to send his line over long distances to hook Bucciarati. After a period of time, Prosciutto will wake up and use the last of his energy to reactivate The Grateful Dead's aging ability, draining Bucciarati's health once more.
With the train stopped, the team is forced to continue by car. Bucciarati receives another message from the boss, urging the group to obtain the OA-Disc hidden at Santa Lucia Station. The team agrees to split up, with Mista and Giorno continuing to drive toward Venice while the others arrive by boat. On the highway leading to Venice, Giorno and Mista spot another assassin, Ghiaccio, skating toward them in a suit of ice made from his Stand, White Album. The player controls Mista on top of the car, who must aim and shoot at Ghiaccio to stop him from charging toward the car. If Ghiaccio makes contact with the car, Mista will take damage. Moreover, Mista must manage his ammunition in the revolver as well as the number of Sex Pistols he has available. If he lasts two minutes, the level ends.
With Ghiaccio in close pursuit, Giorno decides to crash the car into the lake in front of the station. Mista is the first to reach land, but Ghiaccio is the first to reach the statue. Although Ghiaccio finds and takes the OA-Disc inside the lion statue at the front, Mista is determined to defend it to his last breath. The player again controls Mista and Sex Pistols, and must defeat Ghiaccio. Ghiaccio is invulnerable from the front and must be shot from the back. Ghiaccio can charge at Mista, giving Mista a chance to attack if he misses, as well as deploy strips of ice along the ground. As Ghiaccio takes damage, he will begin utilizing the
shield of frozen air Gently Weeps, which can automatically rebound Mista's bullets back at him.
The team inserts the OA-Disc into their computer and learns that their final destination is the church at San Giorgio Maggiore. Only Trish and one other person may set foot on the island, per the boss's conditions, and so Bucciarati alone accompanies Trish. However, Trish disappears once the two enter the church, and Bucciarati realizes that the boss intends to kill his own daughter. He finds Trish unconscious in the church's basement, but the boss appears and a battle ensues. The player controls Bucciarati and must survive the boss and his King Crimson for one minute. The boss frequently teleports toward or away from Bucciarati, and King Crimson can knock debris at him. After a minute passes, the level ends.
Bucciarati attacks the boss from behind a pillar, only to find himself standing at the other side of it. The boss introduces King Crimson and its ability to erase a period of time, then punches Bucciarati through the heart. Despite the lethal wound, Bucciarati refuses to die until Trish is safe. The player controls Bucciarati again and must attack the boss, whose teleportation is now marked by a flash of inverted colors. When enough of the boss's health is depleted, the level ends.
The group steals a plane, killing an enemy Stand user along the way. However, Giorno notices strange writing on the wall next to his seat. He eventually realizes that the enemy's Stand, Notorious B.I.G, is still alive and attached to his arm. Before the Stand can reach his shoulder, Giorno cuts off his arms, rendering him unable to fight or heal. Luckily, Bucciarati manages to lure B.I.G outside with a zipper. As Bucciarati enters the cockpit to inform Abbacchio of the attack, Trish notices that one of Giorno's brooches has been left on the floor, and is now turning into a hand. However, she has hardly taken a step before B.I.G re-enters the plane. Realizing that Giorno's hand is the only hope for the group's healing, she resolves to protect the brooch. The player now controls Trish. The aim of the stage is to defeat Notorious B.I.G. As the Stand attacks moving objects, Trish must advance slowly toward the brooch, making sure not to attract B.I.G's attention. Once Trish reaches the brooch, her own Stand, Spice Girl, awakens and gives her the power necessary to defeat B.I.G.
As Notorious B.I.G shrinks and disappears, Bucciarati opens the door to the cockpit. Trish tells Bucciarati about the brooch, but Bucciarati warns her to stay quiet and walk slowly toward him. Looking behind her, Trish discovers that B.I.G has grown to a giant size, having slipped through the floor and eaten the plane's engines. The player again controls Trish, who must keep Notorious B.I.G from reaching the cockpit for two minutes. The Stand can use its arms both to attack Trish from afar and to swipe toward her when she attacks. Once the timer expires, the level ends.
The team reaches the Costa Smeralda where the boss once took a photo of Trish's mother. However, Bucciarati barely catches scalpels thrown at the team from afar. Narancia's Aerosmith eliminates the apparent attacker, and he and Bucciarati go to investigate the corpse while Abbacchio rewinds Moody Blues to the date of the photograph. A stray soccer ball lands near Abbacchio, who lets one of the players retrieve it. Immediately afterward, Abbacchio notices a hole in his chest: as it turns out, the boss has already arrived at the island, hidden beneath the facade of a young boy named Vinegar Doppio. Fresh from a battle with Risotto, the last of the Hitman Team, the boss praises his luck in eliminating Abbacchio and escapes. As Team Bucciarati gathers around Abbacchio's body, Giorno discovers that Moody Blues successfully embedded the boss's face and fingerprints into the nearby stone. The team finds no results searching the fingerprints in any police database, but an unknown person contacts them and tells them the boss's name: Diavolo. The group decides to hear the caller out, and he informs them of another Arrow in Rome that can defeat the boss. Meanwhile, the boss discovers Moody Blues's imprints and spots the team departing Sardinia by boat. Deducing that the team must have discovered something, he is forced to call
upon his most dangerous subordinates, Secco and Cioccolata.
The team eventually reaches a village on the coast of Rome. However, as the group walks ashore, Mista spots two civilians being eaten by a strange mold. Narancia attempts to retreat to the boat, but the mold begins growing on him as well. Mista blows up the boat's engines, propelling Narancia to shore. As Bucciarati and Mista discuss how to proceed, Cioccolata and Secco watch from a higher ledge. Cioccolata's Stand, Green Day, is the Stand responsible for the mold, and Secco possesses the power to liquify solid matter and swim through it. After feeding Secco with sugar cubes, Cioccolata unleashes him and his Stand, Oasis, upon the group. The player now controls Mista and must reach the top of the village. However, if he isn't constantly moving, he sinks into the ground, causing the mold to activate and begin draining his health. Moreover, Secco appears at several spots in the stage and attacks. Secco can dive at Mista, create a line of sinkholes to stun him, and even drag Mista to a lower altitude if he sinks far enough. When Mista reaches the top of the stage, the level ends.
Mista and Bucciarati eventually reach Rome, but soon discover that Cioccolata has followed them in a helicopter. Mista attempts to shoot at the helicopter, but his bullets are deflected by Secco, who then dives into the ground at a higher altitude. Giorno encourages Mista to fire at the helicopter again; although Mista's bullets don't reach far enough, Giorno transforms the bullets into branches that ensnare Cioccolata's helicopter at the top of a nearby building. Giorno, Mista, and Bucciarati split up, with Bucciarati handling Secco while Giorno and Mista defeat Cioccolata. The player controls Giorno, who must defeat Cioccolata and Green Day. As Giorno fights Cioccolata, Green Day roams around the arena, leaving a trail of mold. If Giorno touches this mold, his health begins draining temporarily and he is regularly forced to flinch. Moreover, Cioccolata can split himself into several body parts, which all begin to attack Giorno individually.
Giorno rushes Cioccolata with Gold Experience and flings him into a garbage truck. Meanwhile, Bucciarati confronts Secco in front of the Colosseum. The player now controls Bucciarati and must defeat Secco. The fight is made difficult by Secco's ability to dive underground. If Bucciarati moves while Secco is underground, he can attack near-instantly. As the fight progresses, Secco will also chew up pavement and spit it out above Bucciarati, effectively creating a rain of stone.
Using his spiritual energy, Diavolo tricks a blind Bucciarati into believing that Doppio is Trish. The two enter the Colosseum to meet the mysterious ally, who is suspicious of Doppio. Although Bucciarati attempts to introduce "Trish" to the ally, Doppio sees the Arrow in the ally's hand, confirming his suspicion of their identity. Diavolo abandons Bucciarati and reveals himself, addressing Jean Pierre Polnareff by name. Diavolo questions why Polnareff brought the Arrow, but intends to put an end to him regardless. The player controls Polnareff in his wheelchair and must attack Diavolo until he has lost enough health to end the level. However, Diavolo can erase time with King Crimson, causing Polnareff's movements to be slowed while Diavolo's remain at full speed. Diavolo can also blind the player with blood and create a shockwave that covers the whole stage.
Although Diavolo succeeds in killing Polnareff, the latter pricks Silver Chariot with the Arrow as a last-ditch gambit in his final moments. Diavolo claims the Arrow, but a black figure appears near him. Diavolo tries to threaten the figure, but finds himself gradually falling asleep. Meanwhile, Giorno and the others have entered the Colosseum, only to fall asleep themselves. After waking up, they realize that their souls have switched bodies. Polnareff, now in the turtle's body, addresses the group, stating that the newly-formed Chariot Requiem is neutral and must be defeated to claim the Arrow and defeat King Crimson. The group spots Chariot Requiem, but Diavolo's body gets to it first and summons Sticky Fingers to attack. The team cheers on Bucciarati, now in Diavolo's body, as he attempts to obtain the Arrow. The player controls Bucciarati in Diavolo's body and must defeat Chariot Requiem. However, Chariot Requiem can summon his own version of Sticky Fingers that can move freely and attack Bucciarati. Moreover, Chariot Requiem continuously walks forward toward the exit of the Colosseum. If Requiem exits the Colosseum, the fight is lost.
Bucciarati is unable to kill Chariot Requiem, who exits the Colosseum with the Arrow in tow. The Sex Pistols warn the group that Bucciarati's body
is waking up, and Mista (in Trish's body) shoots at Bucciarati's command. However, time suddenly skips once more. When the group turns to Narancia to check Aerosmith's radar, they find him impaled upon the metal bars of an arch. Although Giorno is able to heal Narancia's body, his soul is already gone, and Giorno's soul can do nothing but slip back inside his own body. Polnareff comes to the conclusion that the boss has two personalities, and that Diavolo is hiding inside the body of one of the team members. The group races after Chariot once more as Doppio dies in Bucciarati's body. As they catch up to Requiem, Diavolo takes control of Mista's body and weakens Requiem. However, Bucciarati figures out Requiem's secret and destroys it completely, reversing the soul swap and sealing his fate. Bucciarati bids farewell to Giorno, who grabs the Arrow and pierces himself with it as Diavolo wakes up, unlocking Gold Experience Requiem. The player controls Giorno and Gold Experience Requiem, and must defeat Diavolo. Diavolo can still erase time, but Gold Experience Requiem is unaffected. When Diavolo's health bar is emptied, he releases a nondamaging shockwave and regenerates a portion of his health; once this health is depleted, the fight is won.

Voice Actor(s):The development of a Part 5 JoJo game for the PlayStation 2, known as "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Part 5 (tentative)" (ジョジョの奇妙な冒険 第5部 (仮称）), was first announced at TGS 2001 on March 30, 2001. During the event, a short clip showing an early version of the game's models and stages was presented. Notably, the clip featured Koichi Hirose, who was later cut from the game. Unlike the other games on display at Capcom's PlayStation 2 booth, JoJo was one of the only one not to feature gameplay of any sort.[1]
News about the game's development would later resurface when it was re-announced at a Capcom vs. SNK 2 tournament on January 13, 2002, in Takeshiba, Tokyo. At the tournament, a video message from Hirohiko Araki was played, where he announced "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Whirlwind" (ジョジョの奇妙な冒険 黄金の旋風, JoJo no Kimyō na Bōken Ōgon no Kaze) and "Auto Modellista,"
which were both scheduled to be released in 2002. Along with the new title, a video showing a more complete version of the game was demonstrated, featuring models and assets closer to the ones found in the final game. In the video, Araki also remarked on the amazing expressiveness of 3D, saying that, "Thanks to how easy it handles and the dedication of Capcom's development team, I'm looking forward to being able to play this game again."
The second game that Araki announced, Auto Modellista, was a racing game being developed by Capcom on the same engine as Golden Whirlwind, sharing similar cel-shaded graphics and visuals. At the end of the video, Araki also said, "Capcom is very particular about their work, so I'm expecting great things from them. This game will make you feel as if you were traveling alongside JoJo. You never know what will happen next."[2][3]
The game was set to be released worldwide on October 2002 and was presented at Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2002, titled simply as GioGio's Bizarre Adventure. The release was eventually canceled due to unknown reasons.
It would not be until All-Star Battle from CyberConnect2 and Bandai Namco that another JoJo game would see an international release, the first being Heritage for the Future, also a Capcom product.
On release, Famitsu magazine scored the game a 31 out of 40.
