Afro Samurai

Afro Samurai by Namco Bandai Games for the PS3 is a 3D action game that's based on the popular manga and anime series. As with the anime series, the title character is voiced by Samuel L. Jackson and features a cel-shaded animation style. The combat system gives Afro the ability to dismember enemies with ease, as it's coupled with his expansive arsenal of graceful and elegantly sharp moves. Using an innovative gameplay system, enemy A.I. is affected by the beat of the musical score produced by RZA of Wu-Tang Clan fame.

  • Review: Afro Samurai (PS3)
  • Turntables scratch, the bass line rising and falling with each stroke from my sword. I dash through an army of assassins, all dead-set on retrieving the Number Two Headband. With ease, I separate their heads from their torsos through a series of well-timed slices. Forced silence fills the air as the blood drips from my katana. "Nothing personal," I growl as I take a drag from my hand-rolled cigarette. "It's just revenge."
