Thrust into the future by the evil AKU, a lone Samurai warrior must quickly find the time portal to the past to rescue his defenseless people. Ancestors of the displaced Samurai call him Jack and help him through four enemy-filled realms with 24 interactive levels.

SAMURAI JACK suffers various states of undress if he fails to dodge fireballs and sword strikes, but slow-motion attacks, devastating combo moves, and sushi snacks empower the hearty warrior. Through a burning village, the bustling Aku City, and on, Jack blasts through doors, finds hidden pathways, and frees caged locals, bringing him ever closer to fulfilling his great destiny the defeat of Aku once and for all.

Earning dedicated fans with his Cartoon Network series, Genndy Tartakovsky's stylized, sword-wielding hero comes to consoles for the first time in this fighting adventure, which finds Samurai Jack conquering two dozen mission levels in four realms of action. Before he's through, he'll face off against Aku, Mad Jack, The Scotsman, and other arch-enemies familiar to fans of the show. To provide a sense of the hero's expertise with his blade, players can perform over 25 "signature" moves, designed to animate fluidly from one to the next no matter what the combo.

A "Sakai" mode slows down the action, allowing for precise, deadly attacks. The hero can also make use of Shurikens and a bow and arrow, when the situation calls for a bit of distance. In addition to the battles, Jack is faced with puzzle-solving challenges, in which the game's interactive environments play a big role. Developers at Amaze Entertainment worked with the animated series' creators to produce a look that matches the show's animation style.

Features:
* Explore four themed realms, each with six stages of sword-swinging action
* Master Samurai Jack's 25 melee attacks or use throwing stars, swords, and arrows
* Interact with the environments to solve puzzles and to defeat such enemies as Aku, the Scotsman, and Mad Jack
