Been trying out the Ps3 demo for Enslaved: Journey to the west. And i must say i was impressed. 
The fluidity of the animation, and the grace by the main protagonist Monkey moved with, and the simply but fun combat system makes me all giddy inside with excitment. 
But what I think will draw me in, is the relationship between Monkey and his "slave-driver" Trip. 
Their relationship reminds me of the beautiful connection that the Prince and Eleka had in the Prince of Percia 2008 reboot. 
 Many found that game to be flawed, but I found the story and the good natured back-and-fourth between Eleka and The Prince to be reason enough to play onwards. 
 
Likewise I hope that the gameplay in Enslaved will hold up, and that the relationship between Monkey and Trip will as interesting as the Prince and Elekas. 
 
October.. you can't come soon enough !
