Some games claim to be cutting edge. With a sword-wielding hero dripping in hip-hop style, this one really means it.

And the hip-hop style doesn't end with the soundtrack produced in collaboration with the Wu-Tang's RZA. RZA's beats seep into the game itself, with the music affecting enemy AI and altering the gameplay's tone.

Afro Samurai is an excellent third person game that follows the cartoon very closely. Afro's graphics are very detailed and the new moves you need are displayed right when you need them. However, you'll need the game manual for hints and other moves you can use. I found that I could go just about a...more
