Afro Samurai Trophies

There is currently no information available about trophies being supported in Afro Samurai, the action game developed by Namco Bandai for the Xbox 360 and PS3.

Although sites have been providing information about Afro Samurai's achievements since December 2008, there is still no word about trophy support for the PS3 version of the game. In November 2008, it was announced that all PS3 games would be required to have trophies beginning from January 2009 onwards.Videogamer.com: PS3 Trophies to be mandatory from January 2009 (November 20, 2008) If Afro Samurai was submitted for certification by Sony before January 1, 2009, it would technically not be required to meet this standard.

The game Afro Samurai is based on the Afro Samurai animated series, which airs on Spike TV. In the game, there are two coveted headbands, which can only be obtained by defeating the previous owner in combat. Afro's father, who wore the Number One headband, was killed and now Afro is out for revenge. His goal is to win both headbands and become the greatest samurai in the land.

Previews of Afro Samurai praise both the game's cel-shaded graphics and the simple combat system. The game features basic beat-em-up gameplay. The moves are straightforward: light attack, heavy attack, block, jump and kick. Gamers can play through the game by button mashing, although strategically planning combos may help in tougher encounters.TeamXbox: Afro Samurai Hands-on Preview (December 8, 2008) IGN: Afro Samurai Updated Hands-on (December 9, 2008)
