Hmm Enslave did seem very interesting from the demo. (I wouldn't expect no less from NT though Heavenly Sword had a good story also)

Played the Demo, Only things I found remotely similar to God of War was the Attack Layout. (Y and X / [assuming] Square and Triangle) and the Health Sess Pools, Otherwise it wasn't a complete God of War Ripoff at all (Dante's Inferno was way more God of War).

I'm sure I would find some similarities to God of War in the Full game but from what I got from the Demo, I couldn't call it a God of War Ripoff at all.

It just didn't feel like it (unlike Dante's Inferno).

shallow version of the god of war combat!? did you see the combos you can unlock on the skills screen!? I'll have to wait and see if your statement is true but I love the fact that you actually have a jump button - not relying on the combo to do it for you.

edit: I dunno what I meant by that statement cause there's a jump button in GoW too LOL and seeing as I've beaten gow 1 + 2, 3 times, and god of war III once.

[QUOTE="jg4xchamp"][QUOTE="jasonharris48"] Gameplay wise I still find Bayonetta better but everything else from VA's, story, characters LoS tops every Action this gen.

[QUOTE="jg4xchamp"] A game that is going to have an even shallower version of the God of War combat isn't going to be in the same league as Bayonetta. I want to try the game for presentation, but the demo wasn't a major selling point. It played like a game where the developers put all their hopes in the presentation instead of the actual game itself. jg4xchamp

I'm sure without a doubt that Enslaved will have one of the best video game stories(Not like there are that many fantastic ones).

Obviously because people are talking about Castlevania's story as if they played it themselves, so I'll mention Enslaved. That game's story is getting praised more.

From the demos I liked Castlevania story presentation more than enslaved but only when I play the full game I will know which one is better :P.

I actully heard the Boss battles in LOS are great especially the final one. Im proboly the first one to say this but bayonetta didint click with me at all. I mean the combat is fun but I couldint get into the game at all.

I have the game and it is amazing, paying big tribute to the older Castlevanias.

you know what makes it awesome, it has the old world map, you know the the map scroll, it is not exactly like the old map but it is just like in the old castlevanias.

The game is hard if you play the normal difficulty it will be hard but if you want to start like me and play the knight difficulty the game will be punishing and you will get killed most of the time by normal foes so prepare yourself for a challenging combat game.

the music is fantastic, it is orchestral and mythicaland complement the game's universe very well.

here are some images.

for those who wants to see some good ****, it is spoilerific a bit.

[spoiler] [/spoiler]

yea the game is amazing.

IMO The game looks better (graphics) than God of War 3 gameplay-wise...GOW3 only looks better in cutscenes with some character models.

Very good game so far, really enjoying it, and more-so than God of War 3 (which i only recently finished).

Enjoyed playing the demo. The demo has convienced me to buy the game.

▲ Why is the Demo out on UK PSN, but not US? ▲

How are the graphics compared to GOW? Technically not artistically.

I just played the demo on PS3. It has some nice lighting effects and textures but honestly it doesn't look as good as GOWIII. It's much rougher in comparison (aliasing issues) and the framerate is much poorer than GOW's. GOW wins hands down imo.

I picked up my limited edition this morning and it is really nice. I'll try to post some pics later before I pop the game in this evening.

Patrick Stewart's voice puts the game on a whole nother level.Some-Mist

He was the narrator, right?

Did anyone else think the narration audio sounded bad in comparison to the rest of the audio? Sounded all muffled.

it is amazing, maybe because there isn't music with it when told?

He plays a character in the game too...(patrick stewart that is)

Framerate is a bit inconsistent and the combat is more fluid in GOW, but there are far more options (the combat is more open) than GOW, nowhere near as good as Bayonetta combat wise though, at least not so far...

I did a real quick Output signal Flip comaprison of the 360 adn PS3 Demos, and didnt notice anything. Ill look at it a bit more right now.

Some pics showing off the limited edition. There is a lot more art, I am just showing a sample of what it looks like.

Lens of Truth.

Looks like there's NO difference.

Konami did good.
