Information-

The Same Team from Sony Computer Entertainment that has created the Game called Ico, brings more of their epict and visual style and as well inovated Gameplay to Shadow of the Colossus. A Game Where you face 16 Gigantic Colossus inorder to revive a young girl from a deep, eternal sleep.

Opinion-
It was Amazing.... I love the Simplicity of the Game, Where the only objective in the Game is to defeat the Colossus. The Overall quest can take up to 8-9 hours inorder to complete the overall game. But once you defeated the First Boss its hard to stop playing until you've finally defeated all 16. Shadow Colossus is at a Mindblowing scale where you can the distance mountains you can see, across the open field to the earth thats spinning around below you as you try struggles to stay on the Colossus. There are also no loading screens where you have the flexibility to roam around the land freely. As the Art Design of Game is abosutely gourgeous. Finally I love the Originality of the Game as it brings a new Genre to Games that we've never seen before.

Fixed.
I found the game annoying and having a lot of "bad game" attributes. Like the first colussi was pretty easy, I see fur, I climb it. But after that ALL of the bosses I was fighitng for a while and ended up using a guide to find out how to beat them or just from sheer luck figured it out. Like the giant colussus you fight around water on a platform, I just happen to make him hit the center of the circle breaking his armor. The rest of the bosses I saw in gameplay videos. I'm stuck on the ninth colussus where the bad controls and annoyance of the game really kicks in, you're suppose to get it over a geyser, but it's impossible. I've been trying for a total of 1 and a half hours. This is where I gave up on the game. It was fun while it lasted (Some bosses were at least) but seriously, doesn't it seem a wee bit werid how it has all the decriptions of a bad 3rd party game?:
-Confusion/No Dialouge (Check)
-You rarely know what's going on (The funky language and lack of information was present almost ALL THE TIME)
-Bizzare Controls (Horse controls? Hold Button?)
-Only focuses on one not so great part of game (In this case it is a cool thing to climb colussi, but that's all you do... and walking around)

I can apply these to a lot of games, like Driv3r. Dialouge sucked, never knew what happened, foot controls suck, and focused on driving, which wasn't that great.

This game would've been a little better if it costed 20-30 dollars. I payed $50 for it, and it hardly seems worth it.

Sounds ok but I doubt its a game of my style. I'd rather be blowing people up or watching people get killed by something stupied and funny than climb bosses to kill them (from what it sounds like).

I was playing this at my friends house after I whipped him with Voldo in SCIII ;P.

Anyways, it seemed pretty fun.

The graphics are good, but there is no story and all it is is boss fighting. disgust.gif
