Don't let the opening's falling teddy bears fools you, this latest Afro Samurai trailer is anything but cute or cuddly. It's more sharp, violent and musically beatbox'ified. Kinda a mix of Afro Samurai comic book art, thumping beats, bloody splatter, slow motion and big afro. Maybe watching the trailer for yourself would be the best description of what it's all about. Remember, it's beatbox'ified, yo!

This game looks more violently awesome every time I see it. If they keep releasing this i will end up buying it and not renting it(which is what my wallet keeps screaming I should do)

Man, brush uo on your music lingo. There was no beatboxing in that video....

Maybe not 'true' or even 'real' beatboxing (more rap), but the damn video is called beatbox so I ran with it ;D

Am I the only one who thinks this looks 10X worse than the original Ninja Gaiden, which has the exact same gameplay?

In his defense, I played it a few months ago at PAX, and it wasn't that enthralling. The art and music/voicework is stupendous, but the gameplay is very sub-par Ninja Gaiden.

I sat in on a presentation from Namco on the game & I tell you, it looks really good. With a soundtrack by The Rza of Wu Tang Clan, you really can't go wrong. This video doesn't do justice to the fatality moves and how wonderfully gross they are. The animation is beautiful. When everyone seems to whine about how all games look and play alike, hopefully, people will support this game that strives to have a unique voice and style.

Does any body know what the sound track name is? I haven't got it on any on Rza albums?

I'm still waiting to see some REAL-TIME gameplay from this game. Every trailer that comes out for this game is in slow motion. They still haven't shown any proper combat video yet either.
