Shadow of the Colossus

Buy it and love it.

Love the horse. Love the music. Pick a favorite colossus and cry when you have to stab its brains out. And for the love of love play it over and over again and wonder why videogames arent like this anymore.

I'd rent it. It's great and all, but there really isn't much replay value to it. Once you know all the little tricks to defeating all the Colossi it's not as epic as it was the first time.

Buy it. Its awesome.


At first I was a bit disappointed, but then I grew to love it.

It's truly fantastic. SotC is a brilliant masterpiece.

I agree. A rental is the way to go with most single-player games, if you ask me. Unless you get competitive with scores.

I'd say the game has massive replay value, what with the harder difficulty, the 'time attack' and subsequent bonus items, which can radically alter the gameplay.

:eek: Oh god, what are you doing asking about whether you should buy Shadow of the Colossus?!? :eek:

Its a beautiful piece of gaming art with wonderful storytelling epic battles and it actually makes you think. Pick this game up and Ico (its like $30 nowadays to get both of them used) and enjoy one the best experiences the PS2 has to offer. The battle against the flying and aquatic colossi are beyond description.

I've never played it but if it's anywhere near as good as Ico then you should definitely buy it. Maybe I should too...
