a stale and repetetive hack n slash

User Rating: 5.5 | Afro Samurai X360
By cigsmokingman | Review Date:
Afro samurai brings really nothing new to the table. it is enjoyable at times but overall just another boring hack n slash/ beat em up and follows the formula without straying or trying anything new.

the games strengths are that it has a somewhat interesting storyline inspired by a decent anime show, it has great graphics, and it has samuel l jackson.

the weaknesses however far outweigh the strengths. there is only one mode to the game which is a very linear one player storyline that can be beaten in less than ten hours. the majority of the game is spent cutting... and cutting... and cutting. the enjoyment of the gameplay wears thin by the end of the first level and it doesn't change. the acrobatics are simply a carbon copy of games like prince of persia and ninja gaiden.


if you are a true fan of the afro samurai show then i would reccomend playing it but only for rent. it is simply not worth shelling out sixty dollars and can easily be beaten in a rental period. if you are not a fan of the show, it's really not worth playing at all.

5.5/10
