Afro Samurai – Interactive Environments, Maxed Gore – What Else Could you Want?

What happens when you take an esteemed and very popular, once underground, but now mainstream, popular culture phenomenon comic book series like Afro Samurai, and make it into a video game? You get top rated actor cats like Samuel L. Jackson to sign off as the vocal leads. You get top designers, Namco Bandai and Surge onboard and you have the recipe for an intense, thrill ride, gory adventure of which the Xbox 360 has never seen the likes of before!

You start as a young, ninja boy, who is out to avenge his father’s death by the sword to an evil villain. As you learn and progress in your ninja skills, you will be able to unlock gruesome power moves and newer weapons, that allow for mind bending decapitations, dismemberments and flails of blood, streaming like buckets, as you hack your way through the minions of evil to the super boss, to avenge your daddy’s death! The controls will take you some time to master, as well as getting used to the always moving camera angles.

However, spend a few hours getting your samurai skills honed and you will be reaped in the form of the best damn ninja game ever! Superb graphics and intricately drawn boards make it feel like you are actually in the comic book itself. The voice over by Jackson also adds to the original muster of this game. The best part: hacking enemies to little, fleshy, boney, bloody bits using your marital arts prowess. In short: Afro Samurai does not disappoint in the least bit. Rather, it’s an awesome, original video game masterpiece that rocks and socks non-stop!

“Afro Samurai is a hard hitting, bloody, comic book adventure that has been long over due for the Xbox 360 platform! If you ask me, this is what my favorite video games are all about, even if they require a rated M for mature rating from the ESRB. Quite plainly, Afro Samurai will kick your ass back to stone age with awesome graphics, fast frame rates, quick loading time, fully interactive boards, and some of the best comic book gore and plots that you will ever see! An original masterpiece the beckons other games to bow to its mighty platform, and welcome in the new king of gory, hack and slash adventures!”
