Samurai Champloo (サムライチャンプルー Samurai Chanpurū?), subtitled Sidetracked in the North American release, is a beat 'em up video game for PlayStation 2. It has an original story based on the anime series Samurai Champloo though Bandai has stated it has no direct relation to the events depicted in the show.
The game follows an original story that combines the Edo period of Japan (1603–1868) and the hip hop culture. Each character has his own specific storyline, so playing through the game several times will offer a different experience and adventure with each character.
The playable characters are Fuu, Jin and Mugen. Upon the completion of the game, a fourth “secret” character is made available. The game includes the original three characters: Mugen, Jin, and Fuu.
The game received "average" reviews according to video game review aggregator Metacritic. In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of three eights and one seven, for a total of 31 out of 40.
