What They Say:
Check out these quotes from reviews & previews
"The only remarkable thing about Samurai Jack is how utterly unremarkable it is, and that's certainly not a good reason to play this game."
"Cartoon Network's signature swordsman meets defeat at the hands of a shallow plot and repetitive, simplistic gameplay. On the bright side, it's very, very short."
"Shadow of Aku is shaping up to be an excellent adaptation of the franchise -- even if it's a rather simple and straightforward action game. While Samurai Jack is aimed at a younger/mainstream audience, it's still something that fans of the show should look forward too."
"Shadow of Aku is perhaps even worse to be played as a fan because its faults are even more glaring. If you're curious to see what it's all about, give it a rental, but the six hours of mediocre gameplay and few unlockables (background art, sketches, and character models) don't justify a purchase -- even if you are a die hard fanatic."
