If it's half as good as the movie, then we are in for a treat.

Sammy Studios unveiled Seven Samurai 20XX, the video game inspired by Akira Kurosawa’s classic film The Seven Samurai. The debut of the title, a collaborative effort involving world-renowned artists, took place at a press conference at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles. The event was attended by luminaries involved in the creation of the game, among them Hisao Kurosawa, son of the late director of the classic film, and Moebius, the legendary French comic artist who designed character concepts for the title. Ryuichi Sakamoto, the Academy Award® winning composer who created the game’s opening and ending music score, delivered a video message at the event.

Seven Samurai is exclusively for Sony PlayStation® 2 and is slated for release for this year’s holiday season.
