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?
