did not like the first.. reasons
1. what war?? why is there absolutley NO ONE without full explanation of the world we are supposed to be imersed in.How did they end up on the ship.
2. Slavers, ok so where are they in the entire game apart from at the start and right in the end
3. only four types of enemy which were all variants of the same model
4. around 2 or 3 combo's not nearly enough
5. buggy and laggy when more than 4 enemies on screen
In its defence the characters where engaging and it was a good looking game. It just felt unfinished, the franchise has potential but a sequel will need significant improvents on my gripes to keep me intrested.

I share your qualms.
1. To begin with I wasn't that bothered that there was little clarity about how Trip and Monkey ended up on the ship and how the World had become a broken by the Mechs. But, after experiencing a less than informative ending it was disappointing that how Pyramid and the Mechs came to be was never detailed during the game.
2. I know. The slave ship shedded a number of escape pods and yet no human life (except for Pigsy) is found during the game. Again, no clarity!
3. The enemies were rather unispiring, but that didn't really bother me all that much. A Mech is a mech and the bosses were pretty cool.
4. The combat was pretty simple, I second that. Having a few more combos to play with would have been nice.
5. I didn't really notice technicalissuesbut then I rarely notice blemishing in games unless they are really, really obvious.
I would love a sequel. I've completed GTAIV, Alan Wake, Bioshock 2, Final Fantasy XIII and Mass Effect 2 in recent months and Enslaved is probably one of the best action adventures I've played in a while.
As much as it hurts me to say it - being the type of guy who moans when there is always a happy and romantic ending - I was kind of hoping that Trip and Monkey would get hitched in the end. Throughout the story, a relationship forms between them that becomes more than just a slave/master relationship and it was a bit of disappointment, that like a lot of other plot holes, that the relationship between the two didn't expand.
I'm guessing by the way in which the game ended we are all expected to make our assumption of what happens next......I really hope that Ninja Thoery release a sequel so actually gives those who invested time and money in the original some closure. I would be willing to pay for a sequel, just for a little more clarity and an actual end!
