Enslaved: Odyssey To The West is an action-adventure game for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Developed by Ninja Theory (Heavenly Sword) and published by Namco Bandai Games, the storyline is based loosely upon the Chinese novel Journey To The West. The game’s collaborators are numerous and impressive, including writer Alex Garland (The Beach, 28 Days Later) who co-wrote the story, and actor Andy Serkis (Lord Of The Rings, King Kong) who directed and provided motion capture.
