Visual selection of Vim delete / insert in Emacs

I tried to find a replacement for the vim visual mode which is extremely useful, let's say I would like to remove the first two characters on the next two lines

11 line1
22 line2

in vim, I enter visual mode and select the area that I want to delete and delete it. Moreover, I can also add to the column after

11
22

as

11 added line1
22 added line2

wiht Shift + i after selecting a column in visual mode. Is there a way to do the same in emacs?

Vimpulse emulates Vim's most popular features, such as visual mode and text objects. Vimpulse is a set of modifications for Viper, the standard library that emulates vi. Vimpulse is not a secondary mode; once it is loaded, Viper will start working in a more vim-like way.
