This page provides information about reviews for the video game Afro Samurai, developed by Namco Bandai for the Xbox 360 and PS3. The game is due for release on January 27, 2009.
Reception
Afro Samurai received an average review from IGN.com on January 27, 2009. Though the reviewer praised the game's visual style and found the action essentially fun and satisfying, there were too many minor drawbacks to give the game a full recommendation. The boss battles are cheap and frustrating, and the platforming sections are poorly designed and break the flow of the fun swordplay."Don't doubt that there is fun to be had with Afro Samurai, but be ready to deal with a lot of lame to get to it," the review concluded.IGN: Afro Samurai Review (January 27, 2009)
About the Game
The Afro Samurai video game is based on the Afro Samurai animated series, which airs on Spike TV. The story is that of a man whose goal is to become the greatest samurai in the land. There are two headbands, each of which can only be obtained by defeating the owner in combat. Afro's father used to have the Number One headband before he was killed. Now Afro is out for revenge and to earn the headbands for himself.IGN: Afro Samurai Updated Hands-on (December 9, 2008)-
