    Unique game

    Shadow of the Colossus is a game where you battle 16 huge creatures. You play a young guy that needs to save his wife/girlfriend and needs to kill for all the giant creatures that are in village so some magic force saves her. I got lost in the story and watch others played it a few times and Im still a bit lost. Other than not understanding the story Shadow of the Colossus still a fun unique game. You are armed them a sword and a bow and arrow. To defeat the creatures in the game you have to get to there weak spots. Getting to it is like solving a puzzle. You have to jump, claim, and hit at the right time to get to the point. Once you get to the weak point you plunge your sword in him a few time and kill it. The graphs in the game are the best; I stop sometimes to just look around at the beautiful scenery. To get to place to place you have a horse name Agro, the horse is beautiful and life like. There is very little music in the game and that best. You get to hear the wind blowing, birds singing, and your and the horse’s feet walking on the group. Music is played lite when you and battling a creature. Although I didn’t understand the story Shadow of the Colossus is a great game with its unique way of battling huge creatures to the amazing graphs.

The gameplay comprises of a series of boss fights, say HUUUGE boss fights, with a few platforming segments and horseback riding through vast environments to get to those boss f...

      A True Masterpiece 0

      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...
