Seven Samurai 20XX

This game is weird.

Set in a futuristic world where the good guys expose their midriffs and the bad guys dress in pastel zoot suits, Sammy?s moody re-imagining of Akira Kurosawa?s legendary movie of the same name (sans the 20XX) begs fans of the film to check their baggage at the door. If you can do that, then you?ll be treated to some blazing hack-n-slash fare along the lines of Dynasty Warriors. Attacking an enemy from certain angles enables you to initiate deadly ?just? attacks, while simultaneously pressing L1 and R1 when your Nitoh-Ryu meter is full allows you to wield two swords at once. The game also features a coverage system that determines your weak points based on your performance and increases your stats accordingly. One thing sorely lacking from the preview build was a targeting feature, causing much of the gameplay to degenerate into mindless button-mashing.
