    this game is not like the rest slash type games but also a beat maker thre better the beat the better the move and if you seen the hit anime show well its nothing like same chartcters muen jin and fu but you have to follow this masterius charcter the game play is cool and this is one of the best anime basde games ever created and if you like the show than this game is for you.

    Samurai Champloo: Sidetracked is a good game for those who are into button-mashing hack and slash games, and also those who grew up with the anime. The game definitely shows some of Suda 51's unique touches. Despite being average at times, and frustrating, it has fun gameplay that will hook you for a while.

    Samurai Champloo is by no means perfect--the repetition bug nibbles away now and again and the characters lack subtle animation nuances such as walking--but for what it is, and more over what its fans expect, it smells pretty damn sweet. [Apr 2006, p.47]

    The lack of any camera control can be frustrating at times, leaving you with a less than optimal view of the action. [May 2006, p.78]
