Game Review - Enslaved : Odyssey to the west


Developer: Ninja Theory
Publisher: Namca Bandai
Platform: (X360), PS3
Genre: Tactical Action Adventure
Mode: Single Player

Review: my friend "Caveben" borrow me this game last month, but not temp to play it. Last week i decide to give it a try... 
Story: the story start of with Monkey (player) jail inside a slave ship with a girl (Trip). both of them success escape the ship and Trip put on a slave headband on Monkey, if Trip died; Monkey died too. Monkey do not have any choice to help Trip reach her home, but the city is control by Big and violence robot (Slaver)...
the story is very good, it is talk about post-Apocalypse earth, and human living lifestyle separate into 2 different world. First is human colony that survive and live in countryside, another human colony is "prison" in a place and live inside the place, similar to "Aeon Flux", "City of Ember". the job of the Slaver is to catch the human and prison in the place. the only thing about this game is too short... i only take about 8 hour to finish this game.
Trip, Monkey, Pig (join them after half of the game)

Gameplay: very similar to God of War and Dante Inferno, but it is up on par, the only this that this game different from GOW and DI is the interaction between Monkey and Trip, both of them must working together to survive. The AI is very aggressive, fast and like to block, quite challenging. The map puzzle i found it too easy and straight forward. 
Combination of Modern and Nature
A/V: the visual is not bad la, look standard for me, but the background look very nice, combination of modern city with mystery forest, like the movie "I am legend". the audio is supreme, the voice actor did a very good job, it is very real, this is the main factory to push you playing the game.
Monkey's Cloud
i highly recommended to play this game.
