Afro Samurai is a video game based on an anime and manga series of the same name. It is available for the PS3 and XBOX 360 and has been developed by the Namco Bandai Game Studios. Afro Samurai is a brawler game with some plat-forming elements. The game features around a person called Afro whose father was a former "Number One".
A Number One means a person who wields many powers and is akin to god. A person can become a Number One by killing the previous Number One and taking his ceremonial headband after the fight. However only a person who has the title of Number Two can challenge the Number One. Due to this, few people get the chance to duel with the Number One because the Number Two headband is constantly changing owners. Afro desires to become the Number Two and then challenge Justice, who is the current Number One.
Afro wants to get revenge upon Justice for the killing of his father. The story is good but not that impressive. Players who love fighting video games should buy this title. But it would be better to rent it first. Metacritic has given this game a score of 65% and it got a score of 6.6/10 from IGN.
