Afro Samurai Fall-ing onto PS3, 360

Didn't hear about it till the other day; played the demo and can't wait for the full game. I'm prepared to forgive what the video review says about the game, because the violence and stylised visuals sells it for me 100%. Well, count Sammy L and RZA I feel more like I should own whether I even like games or not!! I FULLY agree with what Raykuza says about stereotyping too, it's a breath of fresh air to see a black lead (never mind gender!) who isn't gangster-poppin' bad-boy attitude "all up in yo grill" type. That was getting boring real fast!! Roll on Fall 09.

This had better be a good game!The show is great so so you would think it is gonna be a good game.One other thing.Is it an anime?lol

@ CloudyWolf Please keep the racism to yourself. I don't appreciate it. No one appreciates it. As for the game, I really like the artsy style to it. I don't know enough about rap music to know who RZA is but I know I like the Wu-Tang Clan. Samuel L. Jackson is enough of a reason to buy the game no matter what rating. I especially like how this is a non-stereotypical black male lead, very much opposite 50 cent: Blood on the Sand (one day he'll stop embarrassing us all). And also beheadings! I'm exicited for this.

Loved the show. Usually I hate any anime cartoons, just can't wrap my head around some of them, I guess I'm just a old school westerner but I really loved this show. The Guy with the Teddy Bear Darth Vader mask with deul swords!!! F'n Sweet. Hope they make similar to Ninja Gaiden.

This game looks different, I will keep my eye on it

Afro Samurai lol

The art style looks nice but I doubt the game will be any good. The "anime" was terrible.

Oh crap no...

Am I the only one who hated this anime? If you even wanna call it that.

Ready for it... A game set in feudal Japan with a new twist. I can't see why anyone wouldn't be interested in, even a hack n slash, game like this. Besides, Samuel L. exudes cool. I'm not particularly fond of cell shading but the animated series was pretty cool. Besides, how many times can they make a new Dynasty Warriors game? Here's your chance to play a sword slinging game that's neither DOA, Soul Caliber, or Dynasty Warriors. Plus, this will be an appetizer for me until the next Assassin's Creed comes out in which is rumored to be set in feudal Japan. The fact that RZA is composing the soundtrack doesn't detract from the sound value of the game. It may be somewhat hip/hop enfluenced but it won't be like you're playing NBA Live. If John Williams composes the soundtrack to Gears Of War 2 doesn't mean that it will sound like a Star Wars movie. RZA is a creative music producer much like Timbaland who's gone from Missy Elliot & Aaliyah to Nelly Furtado & Justin Timberlake. Let's see what the critics (in which really doesn't say much) write about the game when it comes out.

This sounds awful. Samurai story w/rap music? I'll wait for the reviews. If it isn't a 9.0 review, it'll be must-miss.

This should be pretty good. I mean, I love Samuel Jackson and the RZA is becoming a far better actor then rapper. I loved RZA's beats but his rapping was awful, so lets hope he produces some tracks and leaves the rapping to Samuel Jackson.

I want to see the anime

Great show - hopefully they can manage a decent game.

I loved the show, but I'm afraid this will be one of those terrible hack and slash games. The music gameplay will probably be a huge gimmick that fails.

it show that the gameplay is so diferent from other ones;the graphic seems to be good;

OK, didn't Grasshopper make the Samurai Champloo game where the music affects the gameplay and all that? Oh that's right they did. Sorry Namco Bandai...it's been done. :P Although I still think this game could be sweet. The show was. :D

Play had read an article about this a couple months back, I was really excited as I had just bought the 5 episode anime series from Target for like $10, and well worth it. I think my favorite excerpt from that article was "The game isn't an adaption from Afro Samurai, it is Afro Samurai"... hehe, I so stoked!!

i just hope that the game will be as cool as the anime series!

If they can do it samurai champloo style (I mean the anime not the game) then this would be over the top wicked.

please e a good game...

it looks good!

Ayo Afro, he has a R.P.G! This is Manga is most definitely fit for videogames. It has the perfect story for a great adventure and a unique style. I hope they get the original voices and don't screw this game. RZA is definitely one the best producers to work on the game. I wish they also got Danger Mouse, Madlib, other dope beat makers on the track. Definitely on my radar.

Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury well i guess it's better than the Hoff

Ron Perlman does the voice of Afro. Jackson is Ninja Ninja.

WOW! I can't wait for this. I didn't even know they were thinking about this. I loved the show, got the DVD. I hope they do a good job on it. The soundtrack is going to be dope. I just hope RZA is on par with his best stuff like Liquid Swords.

I hope the game is as good as the show.

"Shuz_ i wish jackson was nick fury!" Yeah but when you really think about it it wouldve been kind of redundant. I mean I've heard that Nick Fury in the ultimate universe looks alot like Shaft. Seeing how he(Samuel L. Jackson) was already Shaft in John Singleton's remake of the same name. Why would he want to play the same role twice?

Nick Fury is black in the Ultimate universe majestikk.

This is actually one of my most anticipated games, ever. I hope they don't mess it up. This is going to be a crazy game year for me. (plus I am getting married at the end of the year. I guess I better get gaming quick.)

Wasn't Nick Fury Caucasian?

The gameplay sounds a lot like Samurai Champloo... another anime game done by Namco.

Afro Ninja?

lol afro samurai. samuel L. jackson FTW.

This aime is one of the best I've seen in a great while; hope to see more from this series very soon.

"Yes They Deserved to Die and I hope they burn in HELL!!!"

Going to be kick

loved the anime, love sam jackson ,and love RZA let hope the game live up to the hype.

Thank god! An anime game other than Inuyasha, Naruto, or DBZ. Not that I hate those shows, but it's about time we see a pretty violent anime made into a game.

This looks HOT! The anime was ace, i cnt wait.

i wish jackson was nick fury!

finally, a change from stale japanes anime

hope they release a soundtrack. RZA beats are always good.

BA (Bad-Ass)

Looks great so far. If it's anything like the anime , then it should be good.

I thought it was the black ninja dude from youtube lol

Anticipating this one. :D

Nice
