Console Monster: Afro Samurai Review

Afro Samurai is a game that is a wonder to behold, but actually looks more fun than it is. The first few minutes of gameplay are brilliant, but once you come to realise that the remainder of the title will be those first five minutes spun out forever, it soon loses its appeal. The uncensored gore and butcherous fighting is quite a sight, but again, loses its shine after seeing it hundreds of times. Sometimes it can feel as though the player is being spammed with enemies with the single goal of stringing out the game’s lifespan and this adds to the tedium. Probably more enjoyable for fans, this game would be brilliant as a fan service but to the general, unenlightened gaming community,
