Samurai Champloo: Sidetracked for PlayStation 2

Samurai Champloo follows three friends - Mugen, Jin, and Fuu - as they travel through samurai-era Japan in search of the "samurai that smells of sunflowers." The acclaimed anime series comes to PS2 with an all-new world, an original storyline, and the chance to live a "missing" episode of the TV series. Trouble awaits in the land of Ezo, where the gang will encounter witches, curses, and plenty of fights. Play as Mugen, Jin, or a never-before-seen character and battle with over 50 weapons. The action plays out in Samurai Champloo's trademark style, merging hip hop with samurai-style swordplay. Collect game-exclusive hip-hop tracks to improve your fighting ability and unlock new combos.
