The graphic style is pretty neat looking and the music is nice. I'm usually a little cautious about buying games that only get a 7 out of 10 rating though because I've been burned before. Anything less than an 8 makes me nervous. Do you all think it's worth it?

Personally, I like it. It's easy to pick up 'n' play and take in the style and music - which to me, is at least half of any game's value. To my point, Can you imagine World of Goo with crap style and an awful soundtrack? Now just to be clear, Eduardo ain't no World of Goo, but it's a decent enough game for the points.
EDIT: BTW, there's already a thread of opinions started by VGP you should check out.

Okay thanks I'll probably get it then. The only bad points I can see is the repetitive gameplay and short length. Other than that it looks fun. I'm sure it won't be as good as say... Gunstar heroes but for 8 bucks I shouldn't expect much more.

I guess it depends on what you like. I'm a visuals and soundtrack guy (obviously), and when a team takes the time to handcraft these things the way Semnat did with Eduardo, I feel they should be rewarded for that so long as the game doesn't straight-up suck. This game certainly doesn't, so they got my money in their wallets, and I got their pretty hand-drawn visuals on my screen and a cool soundtrack in my speakers while I play a decent game, to boot. I feel good about supporting them, and hope they do more and better games in the future.

I found a link to the soundtrack: http://rgramke.googlepages.com/eduardothesamuraitoastersoundt...

I found the art style cool, but little else. The game play felt a bit bland. Felt more like a tech demo than a real game. As I've said, perhaps I built this one up in my mind too much before it was released since it and Super Meat Boy have been at the top of my most-wanted WiiWare list for some time.
