Afro Samurai

Afro Samurai is a pure hack and slash game. The story is about Afro trying to avenge his fathers death. The controls are as simple as they get with a button for blocking, light attacks, and heavy attacks. Like the amine this game is gruesome and has limbs being cut off all over the place with blood going everywhere from the screen to the streets. Throughout the game you'll have a pendant that gives you some special abilities, such as the ability to slow down time or go into hyper mode. As much as all of this sounds nice the games camera is horrid. The camera rarely focuses on you, leaving you to repeatedly put it in focus, this is really annoying when fighting a ton of enemies. As if this wasn't bad enough the left/right camera is inverted and cannot be changed, though the up/down camera can be, but as with all the games options they can only be changed from the games main menu which is really annoying and pointless.
