AFRO SAMURAI (Surge-Namco Bandai/XBox 360, PS3) An action-packed, eye candy extravaganza based on the acclaimed animated series starring and exec produced by Samuel L. Jackson. You play the title character, a lone warrior who walks the Earth (yes, like Kane in "Kung Fu") in search of his father's killer, while adhering to the strict laws of the samurai code. Featuring innovative graphics described by the publisher as "cross-hatch," it also features cut scene paneling, just like in a graphic novel or comic strip.
And when we say "graphic," we mean that literally as well as figuratively: "Afro Samurai" features blood-letting of an extreme nature, reminiscent of the "Lone Wolf and Club" films with geysers of arterial spray chugging from your opponents severed limbs, hacked up torsos and eviscerated viscera. Take the "M" rating seriously, folks!
Great fun for older teen or adult gamers, blending inventive visuals and storylines with some really top-notch AI from your adversaries. This is no simple run and gun (or run and slice) game: it requires some strategy, and some thought, otherwise you'll be the one who looks like they're ready to be served up at Benihana! Features great voice work from Jackson as well as a terrific hip hop soundtrack from The RZA. Rated M.
