just played a the demo on psn store because I just got a ps3 and i'm trying out different games(skipped it on 360 because i thought it was a typical movie-game) and i was having fun with the short little demo. it looks absolutely brilliant! the visual hand painted stylized art looks do fresh and original. the traditional japanese muisc mixed with the jsut the right mix of urban riffs and the flow of the animation makes it all come together like few games do. the samuel jackson voice overs and the general voice overs are very comical and stylish. the afro samurai with the flowing afro hair and clothes to the bent up blunt hanging out of his mouth....afro is the baddest samuai ever. LOL

so how is the full game? i'm thinking about buying. I have a feeling it's very short and repetitive. any online goodies for the game? any stealth missions? I may pick up a used copy anyway

Sorry cant help you but i've been really thinking of getting this game soon. I played the demo back when it first came out and liked it. Then the reviews came which said the game was really bad to mediocre so that kind of put me off from wanting to pay full price. Now you can get a used copy for $30. Im just wondering if its worth that much.

yeah i'm afraid it's a pretty short hack/slash maybe 4 hours. but it's uniqueness makes it a collector in my book. man i tell you the colors fly in this game. it's pure eye candy in 720p.

If you find it for $10-20 used, I suppose it's worth it to pick it up. I wouldn't pay anymore than $20 for it though. It's a very short game as I watched my buddy go through it about 3 hours.
