Review of Samurai Jack - The Shadow of Aku
This game has neither a unique look, smart stories, tons of action or good sound design that made Genndy Tartakovsky’s Samurai Jack Cartoon the hit it is.
This game is similar to the shows plot where Samurai Jack has to defeat the evil demon Aku by time traveling. But, before he can due this, Samurai Jack must free the slaves that Aku has enslaved. In every stage you must free the slaves and seek out relics in order to power-up. The rewards for freeing slaves can be new swords while relics can be exchanged for more power, Zen or life. The bad thing is that none of these benefits have any real effect in the game play. Even the swords do basically the same amount of damage.

The most fun I've had in a while
I'm not sure if that says more about me than the game but anyway...If you're not sure you like Samurai Jack this game is definately a rental but if you love Jack you've got to have this game. It's not really much more than your standard platformer but after playing Metal Gear Solid, Hitman, GTA (series) it's refreshing and hard to put down. I finished it in one night (granted, that night went from 7 PM to 2 AM) hence the rental comment above. The only flaw, and it could be considered a big one, is the camera control. It will take you forever to get used to it and I never ended up being able to say it was okay. It makes it way too hard to keep up with enemies on the screen, especially the flying ones. But again, if you like Jack, you'll like this game in spite of it's (one minor) flaw(s).

great but not perfect
It is a cool game, alsome theme, and great fighting. The bad thing, if considered bad, is the grafics.If your new with the Jack let me tell you, after being put in the future by a evil morfing, thing named Aku, you have to fight your way though the lands, to go back in time and undo the evil that was placed upound him. Let me tell you, this game is great, if you like fighting and nija stuff. Samurai Jack is alsome.
