I liked the references to Ico but I wish they made Ico 2 instead of SOC.That said, SOC was amazing. How can you find it difficult though, I found the game to be pretty easy and forgiving. Each Collosi was a little puzzle in its own, and its the puzzles that are the only difficult aspect of the game.
Still, please make an Ico 2, Please :cry:
I acualy made it to the top of the Temple...in the secret garden!
The lack of story anywhere up to the ending stopped this game from being a great game for me into being just a good one. Maybe i'd have got more from it if i'd played ICO before, I don't know. I do know there were still many questions I had unanswered that could have been broken up and added inbetween every colossi just to add a little more to the game. By the time I got to the 8th Colossi or so the wonder of fighting huge things had worn off and I was looking for a little substance, but it wasn't there. And yes the large map can be a little annoying, but like Kishi said the games world is amazing, and it's really something to behold.
Getting to the top of the Temple and runing across the brige is worth shooting for.(I'v done it and it takes sooo long to get to the other side) You cant go through the arch though...a wind keeps pushing you out
I can't find it in the FAQ... how do I save without defeating a Colossus first.
Nevermind I just figured it out...

If you stand outside the temple and look at it, you can see that the secret garden is only about a third of the way up. There's no way to actually get to the top.Originally Posted by Yu-Yevon
Excellent game. Don't get me started, or I will use all the internets bandwith by typing too much text.
The story is there through out the game. It is not one that is told though. It is one you experience...right up to the end and during it. It is a story style in the style of Metroid where things unfold without you being told.
Awesome game and one of the best of 2005. I can't wait to see what this team does with the PS3.
One aspect of this game that I did not see mentioned is the amazing soundtrack. It just rock in all aspects.
Yeah, that's most of the reason why I would go on and on.
This game is quite possibly one of the best this decade has seen.
Like Sephex, just don't get me started. Oh man. It's great.
You know, there's one thing about Shadow of the Colossus that I really hate... and it's that, having experienced it's wonder, pratically every other adventure game I play now feels like an incredibly dull experience. They lack something that SoTC just got... so damn right.
The scale of the whole damn thing. The desolute beauty of the world map... I've never seen empty space portrayed in such a glorious manner before. The poignant story telling. The pure uniqueness of the whol experience! The fights with the colossi, and the pure, epic (and sometimes hard to fathom) scale of them!
"I'm not actually flying on the back of this thing, am I?!"
"He didn't just throw me half a mile across the scenery, did he?!"
"Stay still, doggie!"
It's such an andrenalin rush when you're actually fighting them Yet when you finally strike that killing blow, it's hard not to feel like you're doing something terribly, horribly wrong...
I could talk about this for hours... I'll add more of my thoughts later!
-"If she's happy then... I don't mind."
Is it really this good? I've been pondering wether to get it or not. I pass it in the shops all the time.
(SPOILER)The horse dies because it falls down some cliff, oh but it comes back to life in the end, magic.
Edit by Kishi: Mark your spoilers, jerk.
Geez man... Cover up the spoilers, will you? :rolleyes2
(SPOILER)He didn't die when he fell off the cliff. The fall simply didn't kill him, that's all.
-"If she's happy then... I don't mind."
This game is almost as hardcore as the brave little toaster. It was simply amazing.
Leave some shards under the belly
Lay some grease inside my hand
It's a sentimental jury
And the makings of a good plan
