    Good but Not Great

    A very fun game... For the first few hours.
    The games problems are pretty noticeable, Bad camera control, Clunky jumping mechanics, And the fact that other than the bosses there are really only a couple types of enemies that you fight in the whole game. It lacks diversity. 
    With that said there are many good points that I enjoyed very much.
    The animation looks great, The fighting feels solid, And features like "Body Part Poker" enhance these qualities.  For what it is (Game based of a TV show) it is done pretty well, It just feels like some aspects were rushed.
    Actually it is the first game based off a movie or TV show that I have enjoyed in a LONG time. Other than the South Park XBLA game.
    I'd recommend this to anyone who is a fan of the series, Or the Hack & Slash genre who has run out of Big Title games.

But do not think for a second that this game is just a bloody gory game. By all means, it has that, but it is much, much more if you take the time to look. Information: Developer: Namco Bandai G...

      Afro Samurai(Xbox 360) by jjrage on December 16, 2009

      Afro Samurai is a super violent action game based on the just as violent anime series of the same name. Admittedly, I"Have you seen my samurai sword? It's the one that says 'Badass Motherfucker' on it."was not very familiar with the source material for Afro Samurai prior to picking the game up. However, I felt it a disservice to the game if I didn’t at least arm myself with bit more knowledge. So I at down and decided to see just what all the fuss was about, and I’m glad I did. Not ...
