Samurai Champloo: Sidetracked [Ps2]

Feudal Japan meets Soul Train in Samurai Champloo: Sidetracked from Bandai Namco Games. Based on the anim series Samurai Champloo, aired on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim, the game centers on a "lost episode" and features three playable characters. A conflict is rising in the city of Ezo between the ruling Matsumae clan and the indigenous folks who have lived in the area for generations. Two main characters, Jin and Mugen, begin on different paths, but meet up several times. Players will maneuver them both through each of their stories, hacking through enemies as they go. Another character, Fuu, is a game exclusive. The "Sidetracked" fighting style can be compared to break dancing with a sword, as the battle sequences are accompanied by rap music that affect the character's moves. Combos based on hip-hop grooves can be unlocked, swapped at will, and linked together to create a slash fest free-for-all.
