I want a giant laser death scorpion.

Yahtzee is right on about the gameplay. And that really needs to be mentioned upfront, on account of it being a game.

But there were a couple things that Enslaved did so unusually well that I couldn't help but be endeared. First, the acting was truly compelling. Both in terms of the voice acting and the very carefully done, natural and expressive animation. Monkey was played by Andy Serkis, and you can tell he worked with the developers on how to create a digital performance that seems human.

The other part I was pleasantly surprised by is the teamwork puzzles. I have such fond memories of games like the Lost Vikings and Project Eden that it's great to get a taste of that again. Unfortunately they really missed an opportunity in not going further with it, but for a couple hours it was quite fun.

I'm not saying you should buy the game, lord no. You'd need more than an 8 hour single-player game with no replayability to justify $60. But definitely rent it.

Embed no worky for me.

edit - Oh crap. I reload about half a dozen times, and it won't show up for me. I give it 30 minutes and come back again and now it's fine. >:[ So yeah, nevermind.
