Of course, Samuel L. Jackson returns to provide dialogue, as well as the myriad of grunts sure to emanate as he kills enemies who are "affected by the beat of the musical score produced by RZA of Wu-Tang Clan fame." Lucky them.

sorry. Afros are the most badass haircut.
Samuel L. Jackson proved that in Pulp Fiction.

Really... it's a hard decision...
I have currently the hair like Steve Perry in this picture (a little longer), but the afro looks cool too:

Too bad SLJ didn't have an afro in Pulp Fiction, he had a jheri curl wig. He was originally going to use an afro, but both he and Quentin Tarantino liked the jheri curl more.

After watching the trailer, I can definitely see potential flaws. Not-quite-next-gen graphics(looks closer to PSP or PS2 quality), bad camera, too much exploration not enough killing; but I can see positives at least. The graphic style for Afro looks good, fits the anime, and there seems to be some decently violent fight scenes. The music seems to be a plus too, despite my not being a hip-hop fan. I expect a lot of comparisons to Samurai Champloo and its game though.

Vegeta, Samuel is the coolest person on the planet.
He could have a tomahawk and it'd be cool.

I do like the style of the game, but the actual gameplay looks a bit mehish. I might at least rent it since I'm a huge fan of the show.

Looks beautiful, visually. However, it looks as if gameplay was a low priority.
Hopefully they fix that by the fall, though I somehow doubt it.

You lost me at "hip hop infused action adventure".

ummm in this case..yeah. Since hip-hop is very apparent in the dialogue and the music.

I don't know if its just my dislike of puns because they are never clever, or thought provoking, they are just uber lame.
IT seems to easy to make a hip-hop pun based solely on the fact that the game has RZA doing the music.
If your going to use a pun (which I wish everyone wouldn't why not take the samurai theme and run with that?

The hip-hop is kinda the whole point of the show and the reason why it was so successful. It's an original blend of samurai anime and hip-hop music and style. You might say its similair to Samurai Chimpolo (although focusing less on the hip-hop and more on the classic samurai fiction architecture) Sorta like the way they fused sci-fi space and spaghetti westerns in Cowboy Bebop.
If you can dig that...

Also based on the fact that the game has an actual hip hop soundtrack and is described by the publisher as a "hip hop infused action adventure."

Come to think of it, it would be really cool if they just stole the gameplay, blood and gore from a game like ninja gaiden. Then this would be the ultimate action game.

Point the first: It's very sad when you run out of music before you run out of trailer. Perhaps consider looping. Or paying for more music. Or something.
Point the second: Why is it that with all the advances in water, cel-shading, bloom lighting, and what-have-you, we still can't seem to get a realistic effect of fire actually catching---it just sort of appears, like a decal.
