Shadow of the Colossus

[Barry]

Not bad at all.

Love that show

Awesome game!! If you had apportunity to play the highly under appreciated ICO, the ending makes alot more sense... seems to me that Shadow of the Collossus is actually a prequel to ICO. And if you haven't played ICO yet I highly recommend you do. Two of my favorite games of all time.

As a lone horseback traveller, your destiny is entwined with that of a lifeless young girl who lies on an altar within a vast temple. The girl is helpless, her soul has been lost and there is only one way to retrieve it...

Following a voice from the heavens, you embark on a dark and dangerous quest to seek out and slay the enormous wandering monsters that roam this strange world. Only you can defeat these formidable Colossi, and in doing so, only you can bring life to the girl who lies waiting on the altar.

Each beast is immense in size and strength, the team's new and unique motion control system giving an incredible depth of motion density. The 'Organic Collision Deformation' system enables the player to grasp and climb the Colossi with precision, stealth is also essential in navigating these ever changing, moving and dangerous terrains. You must climb these terrifying beasts and strike the deathblow that will bring them crashing to the ground. However, slaying such fearsome opponents is no easy task - before these enemies can be toppled, you must first discover how to defeat them. And the challenge does not end there; after you have slain one monster you must begin the demanding task of finding the next...

The monsters in Shadow of the Colossus present the game player with one epic terrain but another is the world they inhabit. With only your trusty horse, Agro, for company, you must explore lonely plains, mountains, lush countrysides, sinister lakes, great caves and ancient ruins. Each Colossi is unique, organically reflecting the environment in which they reside. Each one you track down takes you one step closer to discovering your destiny and the fate of the girl who remains motionless and oblivious throughout.

An intense journey of exploration, puzzle solving and eerie battle, Shadow of the Colossus also includes the distinct, highly-acclaimed graphic style that came to prominence in ICO.

Make sure you get this game. Or at least play the demo.

It looks pretty damn cool. I'm tempted to get it...

I completed it yesterday, after leaving to catch dust for a while, cool game I recommend it to you all. I only left it to catch dust beacuse I got stuck and you know when you get stuck on a game you leave it, come back to it and get unstuck and say to yourself "heh that was easy"

 

[greeny]

a great game some great graphics and the battles are simply amazing at least 8 out of 10 I only gave it 8 because it can get a little repetative sometimes.

 

[Hansel]

Just ordered the game, I'll probably get it tommorow or the day after that, I'm really looking forward to it, you guys should go to www.gamespot.com and check the review video.

 

[Fab]

I will be playing mine later tonight so I wont watch any videos before then otherwise the game wont be a big 'wow' when I play it.

I dont think you will recieve it tomorrow Poffeman, I ordered mine from Play.com last Friday and I recieved mine today. Where are you getting yours from?

PS. The game comes in a very nice and different case.

 

[Hansel]

I live in sweden and I order my games from a swedish site ( www.spelbutiken.se ) But I usually get them within 2 days.
One thing I regret now though is that I watched to many videos, they showed how to get to some bosses weakspots..
Hopefully I'll forget it by the time I get the game, I have a very bad memory. :laugh:
I really do.

 

[Fab]

499kr!! damn that sounds like a lot.

 

[Miggy]

Doesn't sound as bad as the Peseta or Lira use to be like. Game would of cost 50'000 potatoes, probably 100'000'000 Lira for a can of coke. Your gonna like the game Pab.

 

[Fab]

Pablo pass the ball Pablo. hehe

Yeah I should like it, my kinda game.

 

[Hansel]

Potatoes. :laugh:
Did you buy stuff with potatoes! :lol:

Anways, if you go to a store and buy the game it costs around 699Kr so 499 is a very good price.

 

[Disco Pants]

I was going to buy this from morrisons yesterday for 29.99, I just dont know if I will like the game.

 

[Hansel]

Well, if you like/d Final fantasy games and Zelda : Ocarina of time then you'll love this!


PS. Does someone know how long it takes between the bosses?

 

[Disco Pants]

I have never played a FF since the PSone think it was 7, I may be missing out!

 

[Hansel]

It's more like FF X and Zelda OOT, atleast I think so..

 

[Disco Pants]

I will no doubt get it and give it ago, but I still need to Finish StarWars battle front II from christmas. Just seem to be playing ProEvo all the time at the min.

 

[Hansel]

Is this game fun to play over agan after you've completed it?
And how long does it take to get to the next boss?

 

[Sagdiyev]

It looks pretty damn cool. I'm tempted to get it...
