The graphics are looking great. The show is great and i hope the game lives up and surpasses it. I can't wait for this game.

@Shin-Kaiser: The beats are terrible, the graphics are mediocre, and they got bad soundalikes to replace the anime's voice actors. Don't even look up videos of it on Youtube.

Also, that isn't a wood carving texture. It's the manga shading style.

Looks pretty nice, I must say. The graphics aren't as smooth as that new Naruto game, unfourtunately, but what it lacks in sheer polygons, it makes up for with style.

@biznatch: Oh btw, there is a Samurai champloo game, available for the PS2, unfortunately I hear it's a bit sub-standard

Man, these guys need to buy the Samurai Champloo so we can do some Mugen style breakdancing/ninja sword fighting.

Woah. And I thought I was pretty much done being impressed with graphics.

I guess I'm not on a technical level, but that style is something else!

This game looks beautiful, hopefully the gameplay holds up just as well. Only saw the first ep of the series myself, I thought it was decent, at the least it also looked awesome.

@pandafresh: I'm with ya on that one. The game they made after the second apparently sucked although it sounded cool (a samurai the old west, deflecting bullets with his sword). The problem is those games, despite doing ridiculously well in Japan, don't do well in America. And in my opinion they need to expand on the gameplay... which is already awesome, especially considering the billion swords available.

@TheCheese33: Thing is, Afro Samurai almost never says anything. The most you hear out of Samuel L is from Ninja Ninja, who is the annoying 'why won't someone kill him already?!' sidekick.

I liked it when Spike showed it in movie form, but not enough to excited over the game.

Not a big fan of anime or manga, but if Samuel L. Jackson voices the main dude, it's a win for me.

I have never watched the anime or read the manga. I really do love games that involve sword play. This game looks great and i will pick it up if it is on the PS3.

It was a terrible anime, and I'm sure the game will be just as good.

@Balance_In_Life (PSN):

From what I read on Gamespot this game is based on the anime but will have new content. From the scene shots, hopefully this game'll be better then the Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo and a few other really good anime series that ended up being crap in game form.

Lackshmana — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 18:33:09 MDT

This does look really good, but I fera a shallow rental only title.

I would love for it to be more than that and will hold out a secret hope for such.

Also, if I can play as Geno, then fuck yes. Vengeance-fueled, Cyborg, Teddy Bear, Samurai FTMFW!

This looks awesome. The footage I have seen of it looks pretty good too. I just hope they don't mess it up, as I liked the series quite a bit, even though it was short lived.

Thats great, but is this based on the cartoon or a whole new story? Cause Afro's mini season was very VERY short.
