    Very Epic

    Story - Shadow of the colossus is about a young man named Wander who is out to bring a girl back to life by defeating 16 colossi.

    Graphics - Excellent graphics for a playstation 2 game. You feel really small when you face a colossus or even when riding around on your horse because the landscapes are so huge.

    Sound - Not a lot of voice, but there is a lot of great music. The word that comes to mind is epic. Some beautifully orchestrated tracks here.

    Gameplay - Again: epic. I felt overwhelmed each time I faced a new colossus. But defeating them is not as hard as it looks. That's not to say that the game is easy, I would describe the difficulty as average.

    Summary - Excellent game. A must-buy.

      Shadow of the Colossus is a game unlike any other. You play a young man trying to save his one true love by defeating a number of enemies that hold the secret to bringing her back to life. Okay...so maybe the premise isn't exactly original, but that's where the unoriginality ends. The game comes to us from the same development team that brought us one of the best PS2 games ever made, ICO. Adored by critics yet ignored by buyers, ICO was an artistic adventure that will be long remembered by anyon...
