The Shadow of the Colossus is a phenomenal game in every respect. It's got a depth and spirit to it that's hard to find in a game, and it tells its story in a manner unlike anything else.

Be warned, though - if you like games that follow a similar format, and keep to stereotypes and preconceived notions of how a game "should" work, then SotC is *not* for you. This is a game that makes you think, explore, and wonder. You're not spoon-fed with hints, tutorials, or answers to all the FAQs.
