In the more intense action sequences there's a lot of tearing in the graphics. Minor problems with object interactions. Like other 'ninja' type games, you can wall-run and whatnot, but this wasn't incorporated with the fighting which was kind of disappointing. Additionally, the camera is completely broken and difficult to get used to seeing as the x-axis is inverted and cannot be changed. However, I heard that this can be fixed with a patch, but I don't know for sure. Despite all of that, this game is a very fun button-masher. Awesome combos and sick enemy killing options make this game very enjoyable. I think it's a great addition to any game library.
If I wasn't reviewing Afro Samurai, fighting Brother 6 would have been the point where I threw the controller at the floor, screamed an obscenity, and sold the game back to GameStop. Packing a flamethrower and three separate phases to the fight, Brother 6's battle is the exact moment when Afro Samurai's super-slick visuals, awesome soundtrack, and fuzzy feeling you get from slicing bad guys in half stopped mattering to me and every one of the game's numerous flaws came together to derail the experience. That sucks because Afro Samurai can actually be a lot of fun at times. The story told in Afro Samurai isn't a sequel to the popular anime but more of a re-imagining of the origin we all know and love. As a child, Afro witnesses the murder of his father -- a badass swordsman -- in a duel for the No. 1 headband, which is basically the symbol of the greatest fighter on the planet. From there, Afro focuses on getting the No. 2 headband and avenging his father. On this journey, he'll make friends, make love, and make a whole lot of people die thanks to his trusty katana. The story itself is solid and intriguing, and it makes a somewhat decent appearance in the game, although if you have never seen the show, the emotional impact and the finer points of the story will be lost on you. Thankfully, Samuel L. Jackson is on hand to voice Afro and his insane sidekick Ninja Ninja.Read full review

I feel like once it's played then it will be a game you will want to play again and again the graphics and story are great the music score they put with it has to be one of the best I have had this game a few times I traded it twice and keep wanting it back now that I have it I won't let it go again the movie and tv show were an added plus to the series wish they would come out with a second game

Very happy to get this. I have seen the character in cosplay videos. So I might as well get the game.

I love this game, this is one of the few I actually like to play. It's challenging and takes more then just thumb skill to beat (I have not beat it yet, I'm stuck on the part where you have to throw the robots into the middle of that power core). I bought it because I'm a huge fan of Samuel L. Jackson, I love a lot of his movies, mainly Pulp Fiction, and the cartoon Afro Samuri. I downloaded the demo to the xbox and I was hooked: this game is EXACTLY like the cartoon. I would reccomend this game to almost anyone that likes to play games, and likes the Afro Samuri cartoon. So, is there a gave for the Boondocks yet? :)
Afro Samurai contains the same style, voice acting, and overall badassness of the anime. Afro handles pretty well, with some typical fault in platforming segmants. Ninja Ninja is hilarious and the game adds its own flavor to the story without diluting it. If you love Afro Samurai or just some bloody slash n dash gameing, this one is excellent.
Showed up fast and well packed ! Works perfectly! Thanks A+

I loved the animation/graphics and music, the storyline is mediocre, and the action/gameplay is fun although somewhat repetitive. There are many different ways or combos in which you can slice and dice enemies but it can get old soon. The game is fun and entertaining, but to me it has no replay value after passing it once.
