El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron

[The Sonic Mole]

I'm really looking forward to this. It's by Takeyasu Sawaki who was the main artist on Devil May Cry and Okami. It looks absolutely stunning...

Metatron? As in, the voice of God? The still images look good. Unique. Will have to check the YouTube video at lunch.

This absolutely stunning looking game now has a Euro release date of 9 September 2011. Anybody else getting this? The EG review was very positive...

Myself and Lee will be meeting the developers for this during E3, stay tuned for our findings. If you have any questions let us know and we'll try and get them answered if at all possible

The demo for this is up on the Euro XBL now. Gold members exclusive, mind...

I just tried it. It wasn't that good.
Graphics are pretty-ish, but kinda what I'd expect from an XBLA game, not a full blown disc title.

I'm going to download the demo later, very interested in El Shawaddywaddy.

I played the demo that was on last months Oficial PS3 magazine.

Love the art style.
Liked the 2D style bits.
Thought the combat was cool, but hope it has more diversity later in the game.
Was disappointed with how linear it was.

Obv, these thoughts were only based on a demo. After reading the Eurogamer import review, I'm looking forward to getting my teeth into the full version.

Cany anyone explain the story to me however! Lots of soundbites and such, but nothing that really made sense!

I've played through the demo a couple of times now. It's a stunning looking game, there's no doubt about it. Gameplay wise I think it will always suffer from Bayonetta comparisons, and it is admittedly basic compared to Platinum Games' magnum opus. However, I look forward to the full game because as a visual experience it looks peerless.

Looks nice but appears to be the hardest game ever.
