i own this game and believe me i LOVE it. I am so into the Journey to the West story (which the game is loosely about), that i have been playing it a lot! I am only at the first boss but so far the graphics are beautiful, the sounds are amazing, and the voice acting 5 out of 5.
The game controls are easy to use. Set in America's New York City in the distant future you would recognize several places and wonder how the game got to such dismay in the future.
I would highly recommend the game to anyone that is looking for something based off Journey to the West, or a game with a lot of excitement and adventure.

If you haven't checked out this game, then you're genuinely missing out on one of the hidden gems of 2010. It combines beautiful visuals with a gripping narrative and engaging gameplay, yet it never quite got the spotlight it deserved.
Set in a post-apocalyptic world, you play as Monkey, a strong but reluctant hero, who teams up with a mysterious woman named Trip. The chemistry between the characters is fantastic, making for some truly touching moments throughout the story. The combat is fun and fluid, allowing you to mix melee and platforming like a pro, although some folks might find the AI a bit wonky at times. One of the standout features has to be the art direction. The environments are lush and vibrant, creating a striking contrast to the game's dystopian themes. Plus, the soundtrack is just awesome -it perfectly complements the emotional weight of the story.
What really grips me about this game is its heart. It tackles themes of freedom, survival, and the bond between the characters in a way that feels sincere and well-crafted. If you're in the mood for an adventure with depth and a bit of charm, definitely give this one a go. It's an experience that's all too easy to overlook but absolutely worth it!

I was fortunate to stumble across this game about a month ago. I never knew about it and I have been playing video games actively since '95 when I was a kid. I LOVE this game, and if you like Uncharted I hope you will, too. The story and characters are fleshed out and feel real for their circumstances. The amazing Andy Serkis seriously needs to be nominated for a Oscar, they should bend the rules to include MoCap actors just for him. The overall world is creative and colorful, for 2010 the graphics hold their own and don't feel like the game is too dated. I personally like the fighting style, shooter games are too common anymore. The ending gives us both closure but enough room at the same time to allow a sequel if (hopefully) NinjaTheory ever could. I've played this game 3 times in a row and still am in fan-craze mode
Due to all the good this game has, my score will remain a solid 10, however I will discuss some nitpicks as well, but let me preface them with this: this game is 10 years old. The camera angle can be wonky sometimes, the platform jumping can feel too straight and narrow and looking at the game as a whole it really is one big escort mission. I found the difficulty a little easy, even on hard mode (which I never play unless I really love the game), but that could just be me. The escort part I don't mind because these characters are so well thought out and you aren't doing a lot of rescue and protect, Trip stays (for the most part) to herself. In addition, she's very helpful.
Plus, I'm a sucker for a love story and this game gives us just enough. I laughed, had fun and will be playing this game many more times in the future. The game length I would say is about 8-10 hours if you take your time, I beat it the first time in two marathon sittings.
Give it a chance, you know you want to.

Loved the story and the scenery. The gameplay was enjoyable but at times did feel a bit of a generic button masher to easy to repeat m. Luckily the story keeps you invested even when the gameplay in between becomes repetitive.
