You can check out the differences yourself in the form of our usual goodies - a colossal 720p comparison gallery, along with this head-to-head video.
There is virtually nothing of note to distinguish either version of the game from the other, aside from a couple of effects that are either minor oversights or else down to differing implementations of specific effects within the UE3 architecture. As it's based on Unreal Engine 3 with its unified cross-platform asset management system, parity in terms of visuals is essentially a given. In the case of Enslaved, character animation and interaction with the scenery isn't as seamless as it is in Uncharted 2, and the superb graphics are sometimes marred by some obviously low-resolution textures.īut of course, Uncharted 2 is a platform exclusive, while Enslaved is available on both HD consoles. Both of these games operate in territory where Uncharted 2 is the undisputed master, and while both have much to offer, Naughty Dog's epic is still a cut above the new challengers. Gameplay-wise, the game holds your hand a little too much, but this came as something of a relief for Digital Foundry after most of the week was spent grappling with the sometimes-sadistic Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. There's much to like in Enslaved, and Ellie's 8/10 review highlights the impressive production values: great acting, a superb soundtrack, an involving story and some really imaginative, well-realised art.
Enslaved opens up massively from the second chapter onwards. As a showcase for the meat and drink of the full game though, you ain't seen nothing yet. As an introduction to the basic building blocks of the gameplay, a sampling of the artistic style and a chance to get to know the two main characters, it's absolutely fine. A couple of weeks back, Namco Bandai released its Enslaved: Odyssey to the West demo, effectively giving away the entirety of the game's first level.
