With the countless identical games being released year after year, there's almost no room for innovation, since the masses demand "more of the same" every year, since it always makes money. El Shaddai is a game that defies that logic, it innovates and shows that a game should be seen like a work of art, not some derivative of something else that already exists. With El shaddai you will surely find a game that is different from the rest. El Shaddai is a beautiful to look at, artistic, original, with an unique design and soundtrack, and it will surely keep you entertained for the entire play through, even though it has a small campaign.

If you are looking for a wildly artistic adventure game then El Shaddai will be exactly what you're looking for. It's a game that has good combat and mixes sections of platforming in between to keep the game from becoming too repetitive. The combat system is not too varied but still engaging enough to keep the player interested.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is an awesome game with nice effects! good story and good price.

The best: The graphics! it is pure art and a consistent dose of comfort to the eye. The combat is pure flow and it has an impressive and interesting story line.

Great price for El Shaddai, it's definitely a must have game, it's the best!

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is a great game. I love the art style and gameplay. Super price as well.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is a very intriguing game. With an unique graphic style and a balanced game play. The game design is fresh, original and enjoyable. I recommend it as a nice break from shooters and mainstream games. Give it a try!

I've been waiting to buy this game for a long time, and now that I found zavvi, I had the opportunity to try it and I really love it! Graphics, story and everything... It just blew my mind! Thanks Zavvi!

This game is big in a sense that I feel the power of a small god that is trying to bring good to this universe! There is no other game like this one. Feels good to play something different besides shooting and racing. This is a game I will remember for a long time.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is visually one of the most unique and impressive games I've played. The story is extremely convoluted, nonsensical and hard to follow but it doesn't detract from the simple but (for the most part) enjoyable gameplay. Combat will get a bit repetitive towards the end but it feels solid enough. Reminded me a lot of God of War or Devil May Cry. There are also some pretty creative side-scrolling platforming sections which are hit or miss. Some of them are absolutely stunning to look at and fun to play, but others are so frustrating that they make you want to throw your controller out the window. Nice little palette-cleansing budget purchase.
