Just Rented Afro Samurai

Wow, I have been on a roll lately with games. Last one I tried out for a couple days was Afro Samurai. For me it was fun for the first couple of hours, the cell animation looked really cool and Samuel Jackson as the storyteller was kinda interesting. But after a couple of hours it just was fighting the same guys over and over with nothing too different to shake things up. But what really frustrated me was the camera in the game. I was forever fighting with it to look in the right direction and face my attackers. Also the perspective can get real funny and for about 5-10 minutes I got stuck hovering between two rocks, if they want a platformer where you have to hop from rock to rock with some precision a bad camera and some glitchy spots really doesn't work. May be fun for a rent but I wouldn't really shell out $60 for it. Also while Samuel Jackson as the storyteller was interesting it also got on my nerves with the constant swearing and yelling at Afro. After death and between loading he would yell AFRO!, I got so sick of that. But it did make me curious enough to want to see the cartoon and if it was any good, so it worked in one respect.

I take it you never watched the series/movie unrated heh. Yeah this game is a rental for sure, a purchase for diehard Afro Samurai/Samuel  L. Jackson fan. It's a real shame too if the game had another 5 months of development or another developer it would of really been a great game.

If the camera had just been a little better I probably would have stuck with it but right now I got too many good games to try to catch up with!

There are so many spots in this game where you just get stuck trying to figure out what they game wants you to do next.   I think this is a fun game but you have to be willing to get help to keep progressing.   There are no hints at all about what you should be doing to kill a boss or even cut a rope.
