Va-va-voom, this is more like high art than video game. I just got it tonight, haven't really done anything yet but I don't really need to do anything to know this game is speshul. Anyone play it? Is my first spine tingling impression right? Best music I've heard all day and I've been listening to good music all day. |

It's a sequel to ICO, which was another incredible work of art but ''didn't do well'' because it wasn't an FPS where you shoot the same guys eight million times over a 10 hour period. I think this might be even better than ICO, seems like a game that's going to eventually choke me up. |

they take place in the same strange japanese fairy tale world. a very subtle and melancholic world i'd like to dream in some day. |
||||||||
|

|
|
I didn't read anything on the story but the game definitely has ties to ICO, I noticed that within 5 minutes. Don't want to spoil anything but they HAVE to be linked. |

isn't it supposed to be a bit on the short side? I have no idea, I don't own a PS2 so this one is passing me by, but I always loved the previews I saw. looked like a real step forward in gaming to me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

i personally prefer the game's first two titles, NICO and Wanda and the Colossus (Wander and the Colossus in japan). |

Back when my brother still got game informer they had an article about this new one and mentioned ICO. How it didnt do all that well and then compaired Japanese cover art and american cover art and it had something to do with the sales. I think it went into that the sequel might not be release here. Glad to see it is. I am going to have to fly over to IGN |

i hear you can beat it in a rental. ico was maybe four hours long but it's one of my favourite games, up there with the metal gear solid series. |
||||||||

awsome i nearly bought a ps2 just so i could play ICO cos it looked so pretty open it in a sequencer and assign the whole thing to a nice piano VST its fuking beautiful piece |
||||||||

Sorta. ICO was ''short'' by video game standards, but video game standards stretch games too thin these days. ICO was a perfect length for it was trying to do. |

i remeber skiving school for 2 days to complete metal gear solid lol quite a few years ago now which is surprising |

from what I've read/heard in reviews the story is vague at best - which isn't very surprising, sad thing is we're used to story and plot in games to be vapid. I've recently been playing "Planescape: Torment" and that game is just amazing. it's ALL about the story there. the writing is incredibly good (and there is such a lot of it too). |

Judging by the pictures this looks fantastic.... i got to check these videos |

Ico is one of my favourite games of all time. I'm so looking forward to this ever since the first promo picture about 2 years ago when it was still called Nico. I have never seen so much emotion in a game before that doesn't use words. The perfect interaction between the main character and Yorda was constantly tear jerking in its excellence. "in reviews the story is vague at best" - You see this actually excites me. I love it when you're not lead letter by letter by forcing the story down your throat. I can't wait for this to hit PAL shores.... |

Ok yo I finally beat this game. I had to take a breather because I couldn't beat the final colossus, a tough nut to crack but eventually I went back to my roots and figured him out. Now then. The game is beyond awesome but it's not perfect. Biggest flaw is the template of the adventure itself. The game has no towns/powerups/sidequests, which is fine. I didn't miss them. Just riding through the countryside to each colossus is stimulating. Right off the bat you ride over to a mountain and have to monkey your way up it, old school platformer style. You finally get to the top and you find this building-sized colossus, a nice reward for your perilous climb. The scale to the top really makes it feel like you're in a forbidden area, too. But it's kind of misleading, because later on, those perilous mini-adventures into the unknown are too few and far between. Too many times, you just need to go from point A to point B on your horse. Makes for some very beautiful travel and you see some stunning settings... but I find the most immersive colossus-hunts are the more involved ones. Getting off your horse, platforming around and figuring out how to bypass natural obstacles (and some that AREN'T so natural). There's really not enough of this. I know the game isn't centered around that kind of extracurricular activity... the battles are the focus... but I think they could have balanced it a bit more. The trickier colossus hunts are so much more effective at establishing the sense of remoteness that they seem to want to present. Going places you shouldn't be to do things you shouldn't do. It's just too easy sometimes. I also hate how you can survive falling off the heads of creatures that size. The last guy is as big as a skyscraper but you can survive him shaking you off onto the ground a thousand feet below. Having ''instant death'' just seconds away at any time would make these guys seem even MORE awe inspiring. Whatever, 10/10 A+ must-play-or-you're-gay. |

2005 game of the year 5 boners out of 5 |

still haven't finished Ico yet... (i'm stuck but i don't want to look at the solution on the internet yet either) the screenshots of Shadow of the Colossus look great. i'm just a bit worried by the fact that the main focus seems to be beating colossuses (i usually don't like bosses, and even kind of recently i gave up on Metroid Prime 2 at the end bosses because they were too long and too hard - i've always prefered levels and towns to bosses)... but reading Ophecks' description, it seems tempting. |

BUMP finally got this game : D it is an amazing game. first the screenshots blew me away, but they are nothing compared to riding around the absolutely massive landscape with all the scenery and actually fighting the colossus. the colossus are amazing as well, the way they were made is incredible, climbable, killable, looking awesome and absolutely massive. im up to the fourth colossus. not quite knowing what to do but its still awesome. gotta thank this xlt for introducing me to such a great game (even with its minor flaws) |
||||||||
|
|

Cool. More must play. Uzim, it's not really like a series of boss fights, don't think of it like that. I can't remember if I explained it like that, but naw, it feels different. It's like a series of awesome... encounters. ''Boss fights'' doesn't do it justice. I want to play another game like this so fucking bad. When I reflect on it it's like a slideshow of beautiful paintings. So much moving imagery. |

im having a break from playing it. i only started it a few days ago and im already halfway (killed that bastard 8th one). the game seems short, but i have ICO to look forward to. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I fucking want this game. Dont have the money right now. Hopefully in a few weeks time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
''Bastard'' is the word, probably my most loathed Colossi. I hope you fucked his shit up good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ho ho ho :) the 9th one is kinda scary! except... tho, the scariest one ive met yet was the fourth one. the whole colossus with the legs and bones mixed with the music : O awesome stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and the crowd goes wild! 4 days. 11 hours. i really enjoyed that game. there were some flaws, but really, it was such a great game imo it didnt matter. if you have ps2. get the game |
