Good licenced games are really few and far between and whilst Namco Bandai's Afro Samurai isn't the greatest game ever it's not bad. TPSN's Anthony gave his opinion on the manga turned anime turned game.
From the review:
"The cell shaded, Anime-style visuals are the first thing that hit you. The game looks amazing. Of course, this game looks nice when everything is still, but what happens when the action kicks in? It looks even better, the visual style combined with the fluid animation really work well together and many cannot tell the difference between the game and the Anime (believe me I checked). Throughout my numerous play sessions of this game I never once noticed a single, major, visual glitch. This took me by surprise, I had assumed that the game's visual integrity wouldn't hold up for long and, like I said, I was pleasantly surprised. Had Namco Bandai actually made a 'good' licensed game? Yes and no."
