 | Incite the heroes of Samurai Champloo monkeys - not the worst than flaunting Samurai Champloo: Sidetracked. But, in general, it is still a noble nonsense. |
Despite the monstrous "window" in the grid of the show, an anime series "Samurai Champloo" took its due flawless execution. The brainchild of Sinitiro Watanabe (Cowboy Bebop) and a young studio manglobe (Ergo Proxy) made it to foreign TV is not preminuv acquire eponymous manga. Of course, do in such a case without a game for the PlayStation 2 - a tragedy. It turns out, and not do - also, because Samurai Champloo: Sidetracked - a sample of the most "fake Christmas tree decorations. On the cover of DVD adorn the characters from the pen Kadzuto Nakazawa, but already in the intro to substitute for "silicone" mannequins and make it clear that the design of the famous artist should be directed to Tales of Legendia. Under the track Battlecry, precedes each series of the hit manglobe, flashing swords some strange samurai - seems to be old friends, but hardly their only weapon you'll know. It seems that their name is Jin and Mugen? But a mile away visible corporate identity team Grasshopper, aide to the murderous Killer 7. Laconic colors give the scenes grace, but brazenly at odds with the original, and general technical infirmity does not contribute to the perception of ideas Goyt Courts.
Spirit of the original source is felt in combat. Stoic ronin Jin, being the consummate swordsman, follows the rule "less strokes, more corpses, fight with each of the numerous opponents like a duel - a linear combination of sharpened attacks, making the process like mowing grass - as a leisurely and carefree. Hailing from the islands of the Ryukyu knows measure anything: to block his path - narveshsya to hail the most unexpected strikes, throw all counterclaims on both sides. The screen is lit by endless loops, all kinds of fireworks and flying carcasses - lights in the rhythm of hip-hop and elektronschiny ", which freely change and determine the" tree "is available combo. And everything is good, that's just from a player needs a bit - relentlessly grind on the button "square" and if you really really want, "triangle" and doomed to death "zombies" do not tend to her death, to protect themselves. And everything is quite remarkable, since the game Berserk, remains the preserve of the Japanese, had already proved that even such modest means can not give the player a release from the hands of a gamepad. We will be brief: Samurai Champloo: Sidetracked - not Berserk.
 | |  | Phlegmatic Jin does what does best in the world: irrigated land someone else's blood. | | Remember how spectacular evaporated dead idol of Killer 7? The death of local detractors accompanied a similar effect. |
Deprive the subject of most series and dashes napoddat his mysticism (an allusion to that present in a single, dedicated to the Halloween series) - a sure way to scare away fans of the original anime of this game, and he ruthlessly took advantage of Grasshopper.
Congratulations to the studio: a great game about guys with guns was added bad about the guy with the swords. But why, why then feudal Japan, hip-hop and daring trio Watanabe?
