Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Afro Samurai

Afro Samurai's visual quality lies in that of its accentuated character animation. Not just relative weight in a universe with believable rules (or, at least, a tangible enough presentation to allow for suspension of disbelief) or facial expressions; each and every storyline character behaves with a personal grace. With much of the game's signposting reliant on your equally animated pendant, occasional issues arrive in determining when your Focus Mode has recharged or which attacks are gaining you experience, but the fact that this small error needs to be highlighted simply demonstrates the strength of the rest of the production. Samuel Jackson is, of course, faultless in his role as the lucid voice-of-reason Ninja Ninja and RZA's accompanying soundtrack is inspired for such a game, excelling far above what would be expected.
