But to be a commercial flop, it would first mean that they had high expectations. But if they know the game is bad, then they won't have high expectations which means it really isn't a flop. "Flop" must be used in consideration of the expectations of the publisher.

It sold like 26,000 units on xbox 360 this week. nice to see it is getting some more sales and attention. must have been the price drop boost (i bought it )

This game is pretty decent. Great rent, and a good buy @ $20. Apparently Pigsys DLC is 4 hours long, and it was released last week. Hope Namco builds up this franchise, its got potential to be great.

Yeah, I really liked the Pigsy DLC, well worth the 10 dollars.  Good game, overall, I hope the sales keep up, since the price drop.

Got the game for $25 over Thanksgiving weekend, beat it a few days ago. Honestly its (lack of) performance seems in keeping with its quality from my point of view. Enslaved is a game that had a lot of potential but ended up being a disappointment for me. Until about halfway through it's one of the most beautiful games ever released, then the environments change and it looks ugly and awful. The high quality of the voice-acting wasn't enough to compensate for a dull script and lifeless story - I understand that they wanted to avoid sappiness, and they did that, but the relationship between Monkey and Trip isn't anywhere near as well-done as that between the Prince and Farah. The combat is absolutely atrocious throughout, let's not even talk about the bizarre platforming.

There were things I liked about the game (including the ending, which I thought was spectacular albeit a total non sequitur), but in the balance it's just not very good.

combined the sales are at 290K.  I dont think those sales are "pretty good"

But the sales keep on coming for Enslaved.  But it seems Lords of shadow is going to be forgotten before long.
