Is it weird that I actually enjoyed the Afro Samurai demo? I've heard so many negative things about the game, so I thought maybe the visuals and soundtrack were masking a horrible piece of garbage beneath. But, no, as surprising as it may sound, I really enjoyed both the dialogue and combat as well. The combat doesn't seem to incredibly deep, but I found that the focus option created quite a bit of variety, and slashing dudes in half in this game doesn't seem to get old. The camera is a bit of an issue, but if you leave it alone it's really not a problem at all. I haven't seen the Afro Samurai anime, but I love Samurai Champloo, which is kind of within the same vein as far as style and setting go. Afro Samurai is probably not something I will buy, but I'm looking forward to renting and playing through it on a free weekend.
What do you guys think of the demo/game?

Maybe not so weird? I've had some friends say they enjoyed it, too.
ReplyDeleteawesome. glad i'm not the only one. Have you played it yet, Bad Fish?
ReplyDeleteNo I have not but as it looks promising, I was thinking of putting it on my to-do list. Maybe not at full price though. (That's ok--gives me time to catch up on the anime first.) As I live in the greater Seattle area, sometimes I find limited release or "employee copy only do not resell" crap at the local Gamestops...I should see if any soulless code monkeys give up a copy for cheap in the near future.
ReplyDeleteI haven't got to play this yet. I also heard that its pretty good too if you can dismiss some of its faults. I've never seen the anime either and I heard that theirs like no story in the game. I'm not sure if I want to watch the anime first before I play it or not. Also, theirs a demo out?
ReplyDeleteYeah, check out the demo, and let me know what you think. It went up on xbla a couple days ago.
