Enslaved: Odyssey to The West

YouTube video

From the wiki

Enslaved is a story set one hundred and fifty years into the future where a global war has decimated the Earth. In this future, nearly the entire human race has been eradicated, but robots still plague the land. Although they are from a bygone era, they are still following their orders to eradicate the humans. The storyline is being written by Alex Garland (who wrote the script for the movie 28 Days Later) and is loosely based on the ancient Chinese novel “Journey to the West”.

The main character in the game is called simply “Monkey”. He has spent his entire life running from the machines and is your typical loner sort, a solitary man. Eventually Monkey is captured by the death machines, where he is placed on an airship. It is there that he meets a technologically adept woman named Trip. Although they escape the airship working as a team, Monkey gets knocked unconscious at one point. When he comes to, he finds a mysterious headband that he cannot remove. It was apparently placed there by Trip, who needs him to help her get home. However because of his personality, she resorts to this magical headband, which will “crush his skull” if he doesn’t follow her orders. As they try to make their way back to Trip's home village they must fight robots that have been lying dormant for years. The two of them have a strained relationship but in order to survive this perilous world they are going to need each other's help.

In other words this is similar to Eco and 08 Prince of Persia with God of war combat.

I'm going to check it out

Head about this game i think last year only seen the screen shots then.

Just finished the demo on the PS3, it was really fund, reminded me a lot of Uncharted 2, not a bad thing at all.

I forgot the demo's already out

downloading now!

it was a good demo... not so into the graphics, it looks muddle for most of it, but when the plane breaks and you have have to jump while the wind blows... awesome.

too short of a demo though 😬

one more day until its out.

Also early reviews are looking hot for it. so far in the 82% precent

I'm going to rent this soon.

Surprised that this was action-adventure type deal. I thought it was pure RPG for some reason.

got it for 360. haven't got much time to play other than 10 min (less than the demo itself). It looks better on PS3, on 360 it's got some transparency problems (specially on the characters' hair), though I hear the framerate is more stable on 360... anyways will have to wait like a month to play it. I'm going away for work

the demo was enough to get me hooked

Yeah, the demo was awesome.

I was thinking of buying it but I'm probably going to rent it considering its probably like 10 hours long.

But it looks amazing.

Or they don't have it.

Damn, I might have to buy it now. Luckily, I do have some games to trade in.

Apparantly this game sucks. Also Yahtzee wasn't impressed. These two are obviously unrelated in my mind.

Extra Punctuation

The game is way too easy for me and 8 hours doesn't seem enough this time.

The game doesn't suck, but it's far too short. Had it been maybe twice the length it would be well worth the price of admission. I think Ninja Theory got steamrollered by the deadline.
