Description:
Developed by a hugely-talented, Tokyo-based team headed by the legendary Sawaki Takeyasu (Devil May Cry) and Masato Kimura (Okami, Viewtiful Joe) El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron, draws players into a rich storyline inspired by events in the Old Testament's apocryphal 'Book of Enoch.' In the game, players take on the role of Enoch and must harness his natural combat skills to master a range of powerful and Heavenly weapons under the guidance of the watchful Archangels. Only then will he be able to deliver the souls of the Fallen Angels and spare the world from a great flood ordered by Heaven.

Platform: PS3/X360

Trailer:

Release: JAP/NTSC Version Released, EU/NA Version July 26 2011. Date may change.

Played the Jap Version on PS3 and game is amazing.There's a patch for English Subtitles for those with CFW 3.55.

My first impressions after watching the trailer was like yours but after playing the game I was amazed.Combat mechanics are great, I found myself trying several tactics when fighting and camera movement is very good with cinematic zoom-ins when you counter attack.The story is interesting, art direction is great (The Okami feeling is everywhere), music is epic.

IGN gave it a 5.
apparently it was just too confusing for the reviewer.

I think I'm gonna like this game... I love it when there's weird shit going on.

"El Shaddai is a rare treat of a game and a celebration of video games as an art form".This quote is from another review and describes the game perfectly.

Let's not exaggerate too much, if we place true "art form" games like Ico or Shadow of Colossus on left and Call of Duty on right El Shaddai would be somewhere in the middle, well maybe, maybe left of the middle. Very Happy

Fuck me, the combat is really, really boring. And the enemies are crap. Shame, coz the game looks outstanding. Sad

When the gameplay is a crap, game shouldn't get scores higher than 7/10 (70/100) IMO.

I'm 100% sure that you didn't understand the combat mechanics at all. Rolling Eyes

Don't be so sure. I love similar games like all DMC's (except 2), Bayonetta...fighting on this one is not even close to the awesomeness of others and IMO is not fun.
IGN are crap but looks like they are on spot with that review.
