Amazing Game

I heard that the story of Enslaved: Odyssey to the West was good, but I wasn't prepared to be so absorbed with it. The backgrounds are beautiful and well done, especially the first half of the game. The main characters have a lot of charisma, and the story is great (I didn't specially like the ending, but everyone has different tastes). Also the DLC is great as well, you don't play as a monkey in it, you play as a fat sniper (pigsy), and it's very fun. I couldn't stop playing and I wanted to finish it in one go, but had to sleep. All in all, I would say that this is one of the best games I've played on the Xbox 360. So go for it without fear.

Really great

I thought that this game would be good but it's even better than I initially thought. I like everything - from the style (I would call this stylized realism) to the story to the jokes and the gameplay. I have been waiting for humorous and interesting games for ages (probably after Psychonauts and that was a long time ago) and this is it. The characters alone is enough to buy the game especially at this price. Recommended to anyone with a good sense of humour and a desire to explore these colourful and beautiful environments.

Enslaved

An enjoyable game but can be a bit simplistic and lacks polish in certain areas. Combat is just a case of strong attack and weak attack and the platforming is very on rails. Simply push in the vague direction of where you want to go and the game will make sure you get there. Graphically it is very nice but it does have some clipping issues and in the cutscenes especially the characters hands will disappear through the world and each other, switches will be pulled by simply putting their hands near it and so on. I never found it ruined the experience but it is obvious. The story is great and if you have read the book or watched the TV show as a kid you will know the basic idea. The very basic idea. The game really just takes a couple of names from characters and has them going over there. That's where the similarities end. However, that isn't a bad thing, the relationship between Monkey and Trip is interesting and the game has incredible voice acting and facial animation that really brings the story to life. Just be prepared to dislike Trip as she basically kidnaps you at the start of the game and threatens you with death when you don't do as she says. I almost didn't mention Pigsy. Now I have. Happy gaming.

Must buy

Absolute must buy game for anyone that likes a game with a great story you can not stop playing untill you see the end. Great facial and character animation, you have to see it for yourself. Great game, don't let this one go, you won't be disappointed and you will enjoy one of the best story driven adventure games of 2010.

Looking good.....

It's been a while since the Xbox had a solid platformer, one that was colourful, fun and, more importantly, intelligent. The PS3 has Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank and Uncharted. And we have.... well not much, let's be honest. So here we have Ninja Theory's latest effort (you may remember their PS3 hit Heavenly Sword). Joined by Alex Garland (28 Days Later) on writing duties and Andy Serkis (Lord of the Rings, King Kong, and soon Tintin) on fine acting form, it has a lot of promise. After a colourful start, frantically escaping a crashing slave ship, the game flourishes, making full use of both the horizontal and vertical in a style reminiscent of the Prince of Persia series. The main characters, Monkey and Trip, are bonded together by their situation, and by more, nonconventional ways, shall we say. This partnership gives the player a solid set up to try and survive, and unravel the story of Monkey and Trip.The friction between them in the early stages of the game leads to fantastic back and forth banter throughout the game's script, and truly builds on the fantastic character design to give the players a pair of characters they will feel very attached to. The combat of the game is very much balanced towards knowing how much you can take on, and not just wading in, weapon swinging. Those of us that have played God of War, or on Xbox, Darksiders, will feel right at home with the combos, but the system is a lot simpler and refined, meaning that choosing your combos carefully will end fights a lot quicker. Monkey is certainly the muscle in the game but Trip provides many of the tricks you need to survive, including creating distractions for you, and mapping out the levels ahead of your with the help of all her technological gadgets. Overall, the feel of the game is comfortable, without being truly ground breaking, and weighing in at 12 hours plus gameplay, players will certainly be happy to spend a lot of time with Monkey and Trip in their post apocalyptic world.
