Game review: Enslaved: Odyssey To The West

Have your say(0)

ONE of the best-looking games I've seen recently is Enslaved: Odyssey To The West, a futuristic action title from Namco released last week.

Part Terminator, part Avatar, part Monkey (that 70s show from the Far East with the dude moving around on a cloud), the game is set 150 years in the future, when civilisation has been wiped out by a race of machines.

Monkey and Trig, having escaped from a slave ship into what was New York, now overgrown and desolate, need to return to Trig's village.

The relationship is confused slightly by the fact Trig has enslaved Monkey through a headband that means if she dies, he dies.

What follows is an enjoyable romp through a colourful post-apocalyptic world, with Monkey pulling off combo moves every time they come across one of the dastardly machines. He doesn't mind a bit of platforming either, running up the sides of abandoned and crumbling buildings like Assassin's Creed or Prince Of Persia.
