Afro Samurai Beat Box trailer
Afro Samurai for Xbox 360 and PS3 (scheduled for release on January 27th 2009) is based on the popular hip-hop infused anime that stars the voice work of Samuel L. Jackson as Afro and Ninja Ninja.
The game is an action adventure with a focus on combat, and uses a striking art-style so that the game looks pretty comparable to the anime series and beautiful in it’s own right.
The latest Beat Box trailer for the game, while it doesn’t contain any actual beat boxing (just rapping), it does give you a good look at the game’s combat and animation, which has hopefully tightened up since our last look at the gameplay in motion, which seemed off as Afro slide around the environments and the combat looked pretty clunky.
Features of Afro Samuari include:
* Unparalleled Star Power – Samuel L. Jackson stars as the voice of Afro Samurai and Ninja alongside Ron Pearlman and Kelly Hu reprising their roles as Justice and Okiku
* Funky Hip Hop Beats – A hip hop inspired soundtrack with new tracks created by RZA of Wu-Tang Clan fame
* A Tale of Revenge – Afro Samurai follows the exploits of the original series and includes new material and background for fans of the series and newcomers alike
* Blood is Beautiful – A striking art style, shading and texturing that give Afro Samurai a truly unique look and feel
* Style and Rhythm – Innovative gameplay system where the music affects the enemy AI and the tone of the gameplay
* Elegant Violence – A balanced experience between stylistic combat and acrobatic platforming with the ability to dynamically slice and dismember enemies with ease
