Afro Samurai is anime as it used to be, alot of viewers that came in with crap like Tenchi just don't have the stomach for shows like this.
I think its fantastic. |

I downloaded and tried the US 360 demo a week or so back and thought it was fun, enjoyable enough fodder if a bit shallow and ultimately repetitive. Shame about the score, it's not been getting very good reviews from other sites either so I don't think this is another F.E.A.R. 2 (which I incidentally love and think EG totally underrated).
I don't think I'll bother with the full game then. The visual style is absolutely terrific and it's all very slick and polished. A bit of a wasted opportunity really given that Ninja Gaiden 2 on the 360 wasn't all that great and this is what the demo reminded me of. |

It's a rather good cartoon (sorry anime), well worth a watch, this looks very average and not being able to uninvert the camera so when you push right stick right it looks right is tres sloppy, in fact the whole thing looks tres sloppy, the anime gives it a bit o style and some cool sounding music, the game developers added...not a lot to the mix by the looks
@Darren, Yes EG's scoring of Fear2 was a travesty of gigantic proportions but between Gillen's ego, and the posting backup/KZ posse, it's hardly going to get a good rep in these parts tbh...it'll just have to go down as the best 5/10 of all time...but not as good as Fiddly Cent...of course |

This whole hiphop/samurai thing... didn't Samurai Champloo do it first?

Shame - the demo was great (from US PSN) - stylish, funny, looked great and mindlessly rewarding - bit more effort in terms of locations/gameplay and it could have been a minor classic............reminded me of JSR in a funny kind of way (obviously with bigger swords, and less wheels.........)

Watched Afro Samurai: Ressurrection the other day. Good, but not quite as good as the series :\
Sorry to hear the game is purely average Oli. I may liberate one from a bargain bin when the opportunity undoubtedly presents itself. @ asphaltcowboy Ditto on the shout out to Samurai Champloo, thought the series was awesome. I've had an American copy of Samurai Champloo: Sidetracked on the wayside which I've still yet to play. I heard Suda51 had a hand in it so it could be really good... or not if Michigan: Report From Hell is anything to go by :p |

Yeah, not too surprised by the score. Tried the demo and was at first impressed with the graphics, music and style and of course Sam Jackson. But as wave after wave of attackers piled on, I felt the durge of repetition wash over me after just five minutes. The blood is beautiful but not worth playing a whole game for.

You should buy Conan if you dont already have it. Very good hack and slash imo. Going to play it again soon and rack up the rest of the achieves when i finally get it back from a friend. |

Well, this game is actually really good, except for boss battles. They all are purely idiotic. Either incredibly easy, or extremely hard and cheap. Flamethrower-wielding brother six battle is purely random, no tactics, no strategy. You just keep pressing forward and entering a combo, until you succeed. Randomly. Usually takes 3-10 tries, and it doesn't depend on your skill.
But music, voices and story are all awesome. Of course, if you're already familiar with Afro Samurai. |
