The last time I was this blown away by graphics in a video game, it was the first time Final Fantasy made it to the Playstation with Final Fantasy VII. As odd as that may sound, well over a decade afterwards, this game repeated that awe.

I adore this game. Alex Garland (Sunshine, Ex Machina) and the otherworldly Andy Serkis elevate this fine-crafted action platformer into something truly amazing. Great characters, tight gameplay, fun story. A must play.

This is a spectacular game. Not only will you fall in love with the characters, but you will inexorably be drawn into this vibrant world, which just could be an eerily accurate representation of the future. The story is a retelling of the chinese classic: Monkey Magic.

So here is a truly beautiful and exciting single player experience. It makes a wonderful change to see such an amazing game focus purely on the experience for the solo gamer. I've noticed a trend of late where the campaign is often left seriously lacking in favor of the multi-player component.

I have just begun playing this game, but it is already sweeping me away like good action movies are sometimes doing. I believe this game will entertain me thoroughly.

Review by Ben Nacca ==GT: Darkeyes2k7== This is also posted on the website I write for; www.lanraiders.co.uk So with us nearing to the ever foreboding end to 2010, we have seen many spectacular releases to hit the consoles and PC over the course of the year.

something different; gorgeous cutscenes; brilliant story

annoying camera at times; audio not used to the best it could have

== ENSLAVED: ODYSSEY TO THE WEST == Enslaved is the type of game you will either love or hate. Its a platform action adventure with role playing elements added into the mix. The game is developed by Ninja Theory and published by Namco who are most famous for their old classic favourite Pacman.

I received this game quickly but the packaging was very damaged and the game had been opened. I had ordered a new and unopened game. I was quite surprised that I had to pay for postage.

Fantastic game, great characters, and a story unlike any other.

well worth a rent!!! great story!!
