Afro Samurai demo now on XBL

February 17, 2009 in Demo comments 7

Word is in from Microsoft's Major Nelson: a demo is now up for Afro Samurai, so now you have no excuse not to try!

The action adventure title is said to "blend traditional Japanese culture, funky technology and hip hop to create a brutally fresh interactive experience".

No word on a PSN demo, but keep your eyes peeled and let us know if you spot anything.

Availability: Only in Canada, United States

Take an arm, take a leg or take a life; the choice is yours.

    I ran to my 360 when I saw that headline. I just finished the demo and I must say I had a lot of fun. I will probably pick it up when the price drops a little since I usually don't play games like it.

    Though I enjoyed the Anime, I can't ignore the reviews and gameplay videos I've seen. I would really enjoy playing it though, at least a demo on my PS3.....if one is ever released. >_

    The game is pretty good but the fighting might get a little tedious as you only have a certain amount of attacks you can do. You're pretty much limited to:
    • Strong attack
    • Weak attack
    • Kick
    • "Slow-mo mode" that utilizes strong/weak attacks


    That's it.... :0

    I never got to play the demo myself, I got the game before it was released, and I must say I love it, not only because I'm a fan of the series, the game was awesome!
