"Ninja Theory’s game leaves out some of the recognisable markers of the original story, but is thankfully no less enjoyable for it. There’s no Dragon-disguised-as-Horse, no demons, no overall journey to become a great immortal sage or collect scrolls. Monkey certainly can’t multiply himself or change into anything (except maybe from angry man who wants to kill Trip to an angry man who might be in love with Trip), but we do have the Cloud, the headband, the staff. We still have Pigsy and his le..."
Ben Cadwallader spends time amongst the trees with 'Monkey' in post-apocalyptic New York fighting mechanised demons and saving fair ladies, well, one lady, Trip.
While these games certainly are not cuppa tea, they are for the many thousands of 'Monkey' fans out there. Hopefully this keeps them happy for a while, come over and check out the HUGE array of images and slideshow of over 110 screens and artwork, as well as a detailed and honest review.
"Enslaved: Odyssey to the West is one of those nice surprises you didn’t see coming. It appeared at the top of my review pile in a shinny case that I knew nothing about.

"Our story begins on a crashing ship in a post apocalyptic world. Girl breaks out, boy breaks out, girl crashes ship, boy chases girl, girl fires an escape pod with boy clinging for dear life on the outside, girl enslaves boy and forces him into servitude. Fairly standard tale."
"Enslaved is an epic Science fiction adventure set in post apocalyptic America 200 years from now. Co-written by Tameem Antoniades and Alex Garland (The beach and 28 days later) the story line is as good as anything Hollywood can produce. With huge dramatic cut scenes directed by Andy Serkis (of lord of the rings fame) this enters the blockbuster category."
All Age Gaming's John Elliott takes a look at Namco's newest offering, Enslaved: Odyssey To The West. Being touted as "similar" to Uncharted 2, does it achieve the standard of greatness that Naughty Dogs game did? Read on to find out.
