  • Great game!!! Worth the buy!!

  • Enslaved 2 needs to happen! Devil May Cry belongs with Capcom for fucking out loud!

  • i just got this from amazon. i havent had any performance issues on my 60gb ps3. great game.

  • funny how monkey is andy serkis from planet of the apes, and trip is tht one chich from that old nickelodeon show

  • ninja theory sure knows how to make hot chick characters....she kinda reminds me of the new rendition of lara croft

  • It's $8.63 on amazon with FREE shipping. Just finished it and it was worth every penny.

  • Now get this 8.63 on amazon.

  • @matheusrinaldi2 actually if you watch the old japanese programme called monkey from the 70s Goku is pretty much completly based on him. This is just a modern version of the same story.

  • Goku, anyone?...

  • I'll say just this, bought it, played it, sold it to get COLLECTOR'S EDITION!!! One of my all time FAV! Too bad NT don't care for a sequel just yet :(((. I even forgave the frame issue on PS3. The story and characters are awsome!!!

    Make the sequel you bitches, I will buy 100 copies

  • @airmax2xmf1 agreed but i never noticed any frame rate issues but overall great game will end up buying it

  • @MugenNiFukuzatsuna Heh heh. That's what I thought when I saw the ending. I'm glad that we both agree on that.

  • Is this game good I just bought it and want to know before playing it

  • @JonDoggyDog It's got a good story, GREAT character development, nice visuals and an artsy, WTF yet weirdly appropriate ending. Great game to play if you can get pass the weak combat, handicapped platforming, and how glitchy it can get at times. That said, I still enjoyed the game and would recommend it, but only to someone who values story over game play.

  • i liked the controls on xbox 360 and i didn t had any performance problem 

  • How come everyone keeps comparing this to uncharted? It reminds me of assassins creed more

  • @vikingsfan2218 It doesn't remind me of anything... it's unique. And how do you get assassin's creed out of this? Ha, we don't go around murdering people and wearing spiffy hooded outfits.

  • @vikingsfan2218 I agree, this game is NOTHING like Uncharted. Except for the third person view, Uncharted and Enslaved have nothing in common.

  • Im buying this.

  • It's uncharted, for Xbox

  • @brattyHunter1 you're an idiot who clearly hasn't played this game if you're comparing it to uncharted.

  • trip looks exactly like the main character in heavenly sword, exactly like her. outfit and everything.

  • @colin9413c Yes, it was a tribute to her.

  • will they do a sequel?

  • ninja theory are good devs they just dont get enough credit for their games. I loved heavenly sword but they wont be making another one :(

  • Did they patch the game to solve the issues by now?

  • Uncharted anyone?

  • @crazyfishstudios thank god someone noticed that !!!

  • @crazyfishstudios there nothing alike really the platforming goes way farther back then uncharted

  • How long is this game on average? I mean hours.

  • @TheRetawes It takes a decent 16-20 hours to beat. On hard, I'd say about a day. Really fun game

  • @Kamjared it only takes about 8 hours

  • @TheRetawes Its long enough if you try to collect and achieve everything since the begganing. Still its great game and there is a downloadable Add-On wich i recommend playing before starting chapter 7.

  • Can u free-roam about once u beat the game

  • GOD!!! I feel like IGN is bashing the ps3 version of everygame. I beat this game on ps3 and even through long gamplay sessions I never noticed eveything.

  • Man I actually really want this now. As an artist I see a lot of inspiration I could get out of this.

  • I got and beat this game in the same day. It's a good game, but there are some valid complaints. It is fairly repetitive as far as combat and skill orb collection goes, the story's comparably short, and there's little replayability considering that the customization is also fairly shallow. Character interaction is the best thing about this game, but the character designs themselves are mostly unappealing.

    It was a worthwhile 8 hours of gameplay, but I've no reason to pick it up again.

  • This game is phenomenal... Yes it is true that the controls are a bit sluggish... But you quickly get use to it and you hardly notice it... I have played this game a lot and never experienced any of the glitches mentioned in this review... I'd have given this game at least a 9 because the story and visuals are amazing as well as the gameplay...

  • I scrolled down to read comments about this game, and all I see is people talking about cod and Halo. Go fuck yourself Internet, go fuck yourself.

  • @theworkerful

    Hey, fuck you. Actually read my comment instead of taking items out of context and assuming they're irrelevant. You're the one being an asshole here.

  • I wish all you nerd cunts would fuck up with all the cod/halo/mw3/ign bashing and just watch the video!

  • It's pretty obvious why this wasn't a particularly commercial game. How many gamers browsing through store shelves are going to pick something that looks like this off of the shelves when Halo, Call of Duty, or something else looks much more promising.

    I agree, before I tried the demo, I really wasn't expecting much; the character design is distinctly atypical. Of course, in the end it's only natural that the few people that did give it a chance got to see how engaging it could be.

  • @HatoburekaSutajio How can you even mention Halo and CoD when this is a third person action/adventure game when Halo and CoD are first person arcade shooters.

  • @TheCdeboy

    Oh, I don't know, perhaps because player perspective has nothing what-so-fucking-ever to do with the perceived quality of a purchase?

    That's like saying "How can you mention Call of Duty when Halo has aliens and Call of Duty doesn't?" Umm, cause I can and the difference is trivial?

    Now if I suggested that gamers would rather buy a Spanish Dictionary than Enslaved, then you'd be able to call me out. But I'm not a moron, so your question is ridiculous.

  • @HatoburekaSutajio I never said you were a 'moron' it wasn't a question how is it ridiculous to point out the clear differences?

  • @TheCdeboy

    Because the in-game differences are irrelevant to buyer appeal and the likelihood of being purchased, which is what I was talking about.

    The entire country could be oversaturated with casual puzzle games instead of first-person shooters, and my point about Enslaved would still hold true.

  • @HatoburekaSutajio You just ignore everything I reply to you so i'll just end this here.

  • @TheCdeboy

    Excuse me? That's a fucking lie. And not even a good one. Your last reply asked just ONE thing: "how is it ridiculous to point out the clear differences?". And I answered it and explained exactly how.

    I ignored EVERYTHING? Quote one single damn thing I ignored.

  • @HatoburekaSutajio Hehe there it is! Epic nerd rage gets me every time.

  • @TheCdeboy

    Ah, I see. It seems I made the mistake of thinking I was communicating with a human. *sigh* But no, just another troll. Blocked.

  • @HatoburekaSutajio Oh no!

  • Its good that it got an 8, but you said it was repetitive? Umm and whats COD again? A completely new experience every year!!!

  • @ICANHAZHEADSHOT story of my life

  • @ICANHAZHEADSHOT

    Multiplayer shooters are always going to be repetitive, but that's partly the point. However Call of Dutys' single player deserves credit for it's varied and intense gameplay. Any franchise is going to carry it's own similarities, but it's the different events that unfold with you smack-dab in the action that make it worth playing.

    The exact same thing can be said for Half-Life 2.

  • @ICANHAZHEADSHOT In fact Modern Warfare was new, World at War had multiple new game modes and took you back to WWII. MW2 continued the story and Spec Ops was a brilliant challenge and Multiplayer was as great as ever Black Ops took you into the 60's with a brilliantly action packed story Zombies is amazing and well, multiplayer with new modes, MW3 has the best story so far and Survival surpasses Zombies in so many ways Multiplayer is still a blast and Spec Ops is as good as it's ever been.

  • lol goku

  • she looks like Noriko

  • @coolossus Yes it was a Tribute to NARIKO

  • lol If i where a Fanboy i would say 360 is shit or something.

    I like Gears of war series but thats not enough reason for me to buy a 360.

    I have an old Xbox and a Nintendo ds, so no Fanboy at all i have arguments that are truth.

    And its not just about graphics, its about gameplay, not just shooters.

    Sony has more Exclusives and more content thats the only reason i choose it above a 360.

  • While the game wont come to be my ABSOLUTE favorite, it is still a great and hellova fantastic game! Varietad and good. Not a fan of Prince of Persia, so this is real good!

  • When a game comes for both consoles Xbox/Ps3.

    The Graphics are the same, but when its a Ps3 Exclusive its so damn awesome.

    A good example is Heavenly Sword wich is one of the first Ps3 titles and looks way better than Enslaved that was made from the same team.

    Not to mention that the blu-ray allows more gameplay or another game in the same disc.

  • @StopForChildren Heavenly Sword was so fucking short, that makes everything else you said pointless.

    The gameplay and graphics looked great, but the story mode, too short.

  • @FilMarck Thats the point how a game that short looks better?.

    Your only argument its that its f** short.

    If Xbox has the same power of the Ps3 why games like Dark Souls, Castelvania, Final Fantasy xII Rage etc.. need 2 or 3 discs?.

    When Sony makes and exclusive games are polished way better and those titles i mention, also Metal Gear 4 has way better Graphics, Microsoft exclusives are only shooters. and Microsoft doesnt make games Sony does.

  • @StopForChildren You're a fanboy but I don't give a shit.

    The game is great but still damn short.

    Sony's so awesome that they only remove features and never add useful features to the new firmware updates (4.00).

    My PS3 is only and entirely to watch Blu-rays, as for features I might just forget to Sony ever add any. YouTube on PS3 isn't even 1080p fucking HD!

  • @StopForChildren Sony doesn't make games, they publish them but they do own a lot of development studios.

  • @NIGHTmayr23 Sony makes games, unless Sony Computer Entertaiment is from another owner.. There are exclusives that are developed and publish only by Sony.

  • This game was awesome. I can see in the sequel a storyline having to do with civil war.

  • @TheKillerCucumber Enslaved didn't sell very much so no sequel.

  • If a game is not an FPS IGN does not like it very much

  • Comment removed

  • After watching this review, a few sequences reminded me of Uncharted 2, especially the wall climbing, and crumbling structures. I may pick this one up to try it, especially since it's just like $15 for a pre-played copy.

  • the ending was confusing but overall the story is good i found it at my local game stop for $10 in the reduce bin for what i payed for to play this was a steal.This game didn't sell well. i hope they come out with a squeal though to explain everything.

  • i played this n finished it....bit disapointed with the end

  • PPL GET THIS GAME.DONT BE AFRAID TO TRY IT.im sure its not gonna dissapoint you

  • The only thing that pissed me off is the ending. It is kinda confusing. And it just ends without any explanations. Other than that, good job Ninja Theory, hoping you make a sequel.

  • This is the finest game i have played in my gaming experiences , its a must buy gamers.

  • word i just beat the game like 2 hours ago and the ending was..... confusing. I was waiting for some more explanations but got nothing.

  • no, journey to the west follows a buddhist monk named xuanzong and his travels to the western regions of the world to collect the sutras . . . nah nobody really cares either way LOL

  • @Advisory1989 OK, troll. Enjoy your day.

  • I thought this ending was really abrupt........then I completed rage

  • ermm am i the only one who hardly got any framrate issues? maybe 3 or 4 times

  • The ending? Its based on a old tale, so the story isn't really in the hands of the developers as much

  • this game was amazing, great gameplay, some of the best level design/graphics out there, and awesome story. plus trip is sexy as hell!

  • This game is super underrated.

  • reminds me wukong from LoL

  • Enslaved Odyssey to the West > Bayonetta

  • just completed it, very good

  • ppl, if you care about frame rate, then console is really not for you. Get a decent pc. Only reason that i keep my ps3 and xbox, because there are several great console exclusive games out there like Red dead redemption.

  • @bypass3421 what s wrong with console frame rate are you kidding me many games on pc need a very expensive pc to work like on console

  • I'am sick of this ''particulary on the ps3'' fuck you xbox fanboy,ign is a completely example of douch bags that only touch ps3 when it has exclusive people keep saying that the framerate on ps3 games are low,well their asses because in question of frame rate,both ps3 and xbox are identicaly,diference is that xbox is piece of crap in others aspect,god how xbox fanboy are annoying as hell

  • @marlonful It's funny. You claim that the PS3 is better (I think), and yet you completely debased your appeal with unintelligible grammar, completely incorrect comma placement, bad punctuation, and random, insensible use of curses. Thanks for proving that the intelligent crowd enjoy the 360.

  • @Vashtanerada477 are you trying to troll me? what i meant is that ps3 is always victim of people saying,''it has bad framerate and other isssues'' yet like i said the framerate is the same thing on both consoles,why people complain? i think ign is paid to say shit

  • @Vashtanerada477 NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNERRRRRRRDDD­DDDDDDDDDDDD

  • @k1llaxXx Nope. English major.

  • @MrJohnnyLongfellow

    It's sadly true though

  • @roms3 YES YOU SHOULD UNLESS YOU ARE POOR. A TEN POUND NOTE IS NOTHING AND THE GAME ISNT THAT BAD

  • Should I buy this game for the PS3 at the price of 10 pounds?

    I am concerned about the Frame Rate issues and the campaign length.

  • Trip is so hot!

  • this game is really good

  • its ironic that most of the titles that arent advertised constantly are the ones that are actually good. Unlike CoD when they could actually use that money to make the game better instead of booking advertisement times on anything with a digital screen.

  • @jkdoorbinnia You are right but good advertisement brings companies more money than the actual game quality.. Cause we are THAAAT stupid (us gamers)

  • didn't encounter any of those bugs

  • How good was the story?

  • @WikdGamer preety basic, ur plane crashes, she controls ur mind and you help her get home, but the gameplays is worth buying.

  • Just beat it, and might I say, great story and great ending. The thing that Enslaved did that games NEED to learn to do, is keep the writers involved in the development, this is why games in stories stumble all the time. BioShock, LA Noire, GTAIV, Oblivion, just to name a few. While it's not the greatest game due to flaws in graphics optimization and combat, it's definitely a great game to pick up. :)

  • I have the PS3 version it works absolutely fine, IGN seriously? Your so immature just because you prefer the Xbox doesn't mean you can just ruin the experience for other players.

  • @TheCdeboy microsoft probably bribes em with the xbox LIVE money they make you pay

  • @TheCdeboy seriously? you do realize this game came out a while back? right? and in this day and age they have these things called patches? also.......THIS JUST IN .............BREAKING NEWS BULLETIN............8 IS A GOOD SCORE................I REPEAT FOR THOSE OF YOU JUST JOINING US..................8.0 IS A GOOD SCORE.

  • @webhead0626 No kid look IGN has a thing about PS3 as in they hate it, your comment was both childish and pointless.

  • @TheCdeboy How the hell is he "ruining the experience" for anyone? He's just pointing out the issues he noticed in his playthrough

  • @Zethonring23 There is nothing wrong with the PS3 version so yes when people hear from (apparently) 'professional reviewers' people will not buy it thus ruining the experience.

  • @TheCdeboy Well duh, that's why he still gave both versions exactly the same score, a minor criticism over technical issues on one platform really shouldn't upset anyone unless it severely impacts the review scores, or unless they are just a fanboy

  • It's the best game nobody has ever heard of!

  • Ive never even heard of it...

  • this game is awesome. just one little problem: (for me) the fucking camera, but other than that, pretty cool game.

  • Comment removed

  • Only had one minor glitch in the game so far. A collision bug. Personally I fucking love this game.

  • Excellent game. Just played through it, disappointing that it didn't sell as well as Namco thought it would. Would DEFINATELY recommend it for people, who, like me, enjoy STORY in their games as oppossed to "Shoot. Kill. Online." My brother and sister teased me for playing this game for thinking it looked childish but damn it looks gorgeous the plush vegetation, varied gameplay, and the story for me gets a 9/10; only problem I had was the ending. Get this game man! :)

  • @roller325 Ordered for the grand total of £0 today with a voucher, best £0 I've ever spent it would appear. :)

  • @roller325 how long is it on a speedrun.

  • watch?v=Hpy-psuDz6U

  • not trying to offend any one but i think the game was pointless. it have a very short campaign and the story of the game was rubbish i wouldnt give this game and 8 and would give in a 6 and wouldnt recomend buying it unless have nothing to do

  • @wimbledon1100 What game isn't pointless? You think they benefit your life in someway?

    Anyway, the best part about this game is the jump mechanics. Making it impossible for you to jump to your death no matter what=awesome, that's the worst part about all other climb heavy games, dying because of the terrible controls.

  • The demo was actually pretty good but this game got terrible ratings for some reason.

  • Oh, of COURSE the frame rate issues would be in the PS3 version....not being biased at all, are we? 

  • @DetectiveDeckard wtf no not really its a fact its like me stating a fact like he did then being called bias...wait thats what you did.

  • Such a great game and breath of fresh air from brown and grey shooters

  • this game was decent, i dont think ninja theroy should be anywhere near DMC tho...

  • @WdowgeNZ

    You are damn right. DmC development should still stick to capcom.

  • @MrBla342 thanks

  • @WdowgeNZ I think people have got to shut up about that. Wait to judge until the game is actually out and you have played it through to completion.

  • @HenryKrinkle666 all ninja theroy is doing is storying line, character models. Capcom is doing the combat and bosses. whats the point of getting a new developer to do a small task like that? and ninja theroy is being so dam uncreative. they said to get the story line they are trying to get references from movies and music etc. and they make dante look like a drugged up emo. and they insult fans and call us sheep! go away Ninja Theory you guys are western trash with no creativity and big ego's

  • Saiyuki....awesome

  • in my opinion it deserves 9/10 .... this game is really entertaining.

  • I buy this game new for 9,95!

  • how did this game get down to only 15 dollars when it hasnt even been out for a year? cause thats how much it is at my gamestop i just assumed it sucked

  • @TheSepaugh Its a brilliant game.

    The level design is amazing.

    And the facial expressions are the best ever made, dont listen to rockstar saying la noire has the best facial expressions ENSLAVED DOES!

  • @lolatmyaccounts but why do you think its so cheap already? i mean mw2 is still 45 dolalrs lol

  • @TheSepaugh Call of Duty games are notorious for being overpriced.

  • @lolatmyaccounts idk dude, they may not be the best games but theres alot of content in the mltiplayer, gives alot of playing time compared to most games

  • I loved this game :)

  • the game is amazing in my opinion

  • WARNING: IT coulda have spoilers!!

    To be honest,just like the review said,it has vibrant worlds,which are pretty amazing to see it,but i like it to have a little more extended the history,it was everything so rushed in the ending.But well,it was fair enough to buy it in 10 bucks,anyway it was a decent game.

  • This game is great, but there are are some camera issues and some graphical bugs here and there.

  • "particularly on the ps3"

  • @OrangeBoX16 "sponsored by Microsoft"

  • I loved the game, but it was just, repetitive. The story was creative, it looked awesome, and I really cared about the characters, but the repetitiveness made me trade it in to Gamestop. :P

  • looks nice :)

  • Cheer up mate

  • Did anyone else notice that you see Andy Serkis during the flashbacks?

  • I was watching someone playing this game and for some reason the movement and bright colorful environment reminded me of the Jak and Daxter series.

    And the main character looks a lot like Andy Serkins...haha

  • Comment removed

  • I played this demo on a whim and ~absolutely loved~ it. The gameplay is "simple," both for the platforming and the combat, but for some reason it never stops being exciting or fun. I'd love to get this.

    Also, @Wrestlingmusicfan911, I would recommend watching a video review of Dead Space, since you mentioned that. (I've not played Alan Wake, but I ~loved~ Dead Space. And I expected to hate it, because I thought it looked boring.)

  • @dracosummoner thanks

  • i need help . which game should i get . alan wake or enslaved:odyssey?

  • @Wrestlingmusicfan911 haha im actually trying to decide between the 2 right now, but im getting enslaved. Alan wake is a good but very creepy, im a pussy when it comes to games like dead space

  • @ogokafor thanks but ill think i get alan wake .

  • @Wrestlingmusicfan911 nice choice

  • @ogokafor thanks but ill think i get alan wake . when i think of enslaved , it always remind me of castlevania . So my point of view , when can a game for the same price when castlevania is significantly better .

  • @Wrestlingmusicfan911 enslaved is NOTHING like castlevania...wtf are you smoking?

  • @LoganWWDavis lol dude what am i am trying to explain is . My local store has both the game for the same price . And i have enough to buy only one . So the obvious choice is castlevania .

  • Machinima complained bout Trips boobs. Her ass makes up for it big time lol

  • needs a sequal.

  • i 'm playing enslaved at the moment and can say that it is one of the best action-adventures. It's like a colorful mixture of prince of persia, beyond good and evil, zelda and a little bit of uncharted! It's simply great!

  • @jetfandam22

    Good to know, thanks!

  • hmm i just hope ninja theory dosent mess up dmc5'

  • Excelent game!
