I played the demo on my PS3 last night and holy hell was I impressed. The demo was incredibly immersive and very fun. I recommend you check it out ASAP because, if the rest of the game is as awesome as the demo, this is going to be a fantastic game.

I loved it, like I did Heavenly Sword, this one's an instabuy for me!!!

 

[Spider-X]

Agreed! It felt like a cross between Heavenly Sword and Uncharted 2 to me...which is an awesome combo imo.

 

[The Squirrel]

I liked it. But I will probably wait for it to go on sale before I buy it.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Fantastic demo, definitely gonna get this one.

Was slightly dissapointed in this on. Most of the controls felt like point anolog stick in corret direction and press jump button like 80% of the time. There just seemed like no skill to it and i was playing on the hardest setting it would let me. Also the story seemed abit off just one very unconvicing sceen near the end. I am buying castlevainia instead of this on Oct 9th

I'm a little bit more than half way through the game and it's freaking awesome, I love Monkey and Trip lol!!!up: The game is gorgeous and the gameplay is solid, I would say it's a cross between Tomb Raider and Uncharted 2 in the way the game plays and styles, it's very fun to play imo!!! The story is great so far, nothing we haven't seen before but well done and interesting, I'm loving it so far, 9.5/10!!!

Staying away from the demo. I do NOT need another game to buy this month.

I sadly agree with Smylex on this one. Uncharted might've seem a bit too easy platforming wise, but at least the interactive points didn't blink at you or anything. And it's sad to see how horrible the combat played (and what I've heard), with Monkey being so unresponsive, and not being able to cancel his animations and all, considering this team will be making DmC. Hopefully the uncapitalized m will warn gamers off, along with the developers pedigree.

@Smylex- if you're pissed about Monkey surviving the crash landing, then just use the right side of your brain more when you play games. And at least Monkey isn't an obvious clone, Castlevania is the mutated baby of a Kratos/Dante/Prince orgy. And no, I'm not against orgies, or consensual gay sex.

Having sad that, I don't doubt the combat ends up being fleshed out in the game, but I need fluidity for my $60. No matter how awesome the story apparently is (trust me when I say story matters, GOWIII is my least favorite of the series, even though the combat is polished to a mirror sheen), I'm gonna wait for the bargain bin with this one. If I can do it for RDR, F3 GOTY, and Borderlands GOTY, I can wait for this game to cost $30. Hope it does reasonably well so it gets cheaper faster, but that the critics are loud enough that the Ninja Theory hires some GOW/NG/DMC guys to show them how it's done.

The demo doesn't do it justice!!!

I would hope it's as off as the Dead Space demo was. In that instance, they completely misrepresented the entire feel of the actual game, making it feel like RE5 with good controls. But Enslaved had a long demo to show off both the combat and the platforming, and it still didn't grab me.

I'm glad you seem to have such a grand with your game purchases my good man, I am sadly more nit picky than thou.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

Just finished the game, definitely a slow burn - at first I was worried I had made a mistake with my purchase but it just builds and builds until by the end I was totally engrossed.

 

[BlackLantern]

rented it and really enjoyed it....prettiest game ive played this year.....a little short but I really like the way its structured

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I just bought this during GameStop's used game sale. I'm on chapter 5, I think. It definitely has its flaws, but it's good so far.

 

[Alchemyst]

it does have it's flaws, but I think if they were to make a sequel, they could easily fix the issues. Voice acting and facial animations are awesome, great game overall IMO

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I only have two main problems right now:

1) Having to collect the orbs everyf***ingwhere sucks, especially when you wind up having to haul ass through areas to take down mechs who are shooting at you and then the game decides you don't get to backtrack past a certain point. I took down a turret and tried to go back to collect orbs one time and Trip started killing Monkey for going too far away.

2) Combat is definitely unresponsive. Once Monkey's attacking, by God, he's finishing that attack, even if it makes no sense to. The camera swings around pretty wildly during combat too, making it hard to target enemies sometimes.

lol I agree, now let me ask you, this is the same team that's gonna be handling the next Devil May Cry game. Do you think that they're gonna be able to capture that same gameplay style of the previous games or do you think they are gonna water it down a little?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't know, I'm not really into the Devil May Cry games.

 

[Alchemyst]

Oh ok, I'm gonna let this new DMC game determine whether or not I will remain interested in the series. But back on Enslaved, I'm looking forward to a sequel, I want to get the DLC that allows you play as the pig guy, looks pretty fun.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, I saw that. I figured I'd play through the game before I bought any DLC, though.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Another crappy part: the Cloud controls like s***.
