They said its a bigger and better "Heavenly Sword" how can it be anything less than fantastic ?

Yes it is, a fantastic game . The game is unbelievably well thought out , esp. considering that it comes from ninja theory. It has its flaws (mainly camera issues on the combat) but every gameplay element works like a charm . The combat is good, the platforming is a joy, the shooting is good , the slight stealth elements are great , the way your character interacts with the female character is fantastic (and you never feel like you are babysitting) .

Of course the production values are amazing (wow, they've worked magic with the UE3) . A pure videogame that i recommend to everyone esp. Uncharted fans . It would be sad to see this game lost between the FPS , fable and whatever else big-hyped game is coming. Part of me wishes it was exclusive (don't care ps3 or xbox360) so that it would receive more hype and exposure....

Sounds good. I might stop ignoring this game from now on and maybe pick it up from the bargain bin.

How much is the Meta atm?

i knew this would be good from the first time i saw it.

it kinda makes you wonder if DmC is actually going to be better than the older DmCs since Ninja Theory is making it , i wouldn't be surprised these guys are awesome.

I really disliked Heavenly Sword but Enslaved gives me hope for new DMC. DMC4 was an insult to gamers with its copy/paste stracture anyway (even though the core gameplay of DMC4 was good).

Yeah, because pepole play Enslaved for it's smooth, responsive control used in the deep combat system...

Metacritic has not been as kind to Enslaved as I would like.  My mission is now clear.  I must kill Robert Metacritic (I think that's his name), founder of Metacritic.

It's falling under the Metacritic flaw, one reviewer gives it a bad review and the score plummets. You should just be happy that  all the important review sites are scoring it fairly high.

"Enslaved's combat is less interesting. Monkey doesn't have much in the way of versatility with his energy-charged staff, though he certainly has enough skill to take care of any challenges thrown his way. There's just not much to mix things up or experiment, and the only real difference that rears its head in standard battles is the number and type of enemies you fight - and even those don't change up much."

Wait... that's really his name???!!! *sighs*... school couldn't have been easy for that guy
