Shadow of the Colossus

[eyeofgames]

This game is really breath taking. The scale and lighting of the enviroments are amazing. Then the actual game(You fight REALLY BIG monsters) will have you on the edge of your seat. This is not just a game its art. I'll post some pics later if I can.

[baronbrocoli]

I'm playing it right now and it IS amazing! I'm kinda stuck finding the 12th colossi so if anyone can help me out on this one i'd appreciate

[Oneironaut Zero]

I remember seeing a preview of this game before it came out. "WHOA." It looks Really impressive. Google Images for: Shadow of the Colossus I'll definitely have to check that out.

[danbarber]

I've been meaning to get it for a while now, it looks amazing. It seems a little odd a game that has no normal enimies, just boss enimies.

[baronbrocoli]

yeah but the bosses are so amazing that you don't really care!

[Umbrasquall]

I got this when it came out earlier this year, and beat it in a few hours. Replayability depends on what type of games you like to play. Everyone probably will enjoy this the first time around. However, I'd suggest renting it because it's such a short game.

[baronbrocoli]

squall how do I get to the 12th colossi? I got into the small forest with two waterfalls, but now I'm kinda stuck... I'd love some help!!!!!!

[Umbrasquall]

Yeah I remember that one. It's not only a pain to find but it took me the longest to figure out how to beat. When you enter into the forest, the trick is to follow the right side. So go into the small forest beyond the narrow landbridge and immediately turn right, then keep turning right as you can and you'll come out again, it'll look like you've come back to where you came into the forest from a distance but it's not because you'll end up turning left and following the cliff. Then the rest is easy to figure out.

[baronbrocoli]

Thx I'll try that

[baronbrocoli]

Thank you! I'm up to the last colossus right now, I'm going to stop playing when I beat the game, I don't want to beat it again in hard mode and time attack and all that. Thanks for the tip.

[Beef Jerky]

What console is it on?

[Gorky]

This game is amazing. I wasn't so sure about it, until I fought the first giant. I was like "I have to kill THAT?" And they only get bigger. I can't kill the sandworm giant...I've been on him for ages.

[MSG]

Was it just me or did the third colossus's head look like furby? (The one on the giant platform that you had to climb that big curvey bridge to get to and then jump on that floating cube and grrr I hated that I kept falling off) Here's a screen capture of furby

[Led]

argh sandworm!!!!!!!!!!!! the voice from the sky hasn't said anything! I see nothing glowing and I don't know how to get on it!!!!!!!! this game is awesome though. I wish there were NPc's in it. and more items. I can't shoot a bird does anyone hjave any tips?

[MSG]

With the sandworm you gotta run around on your horse... He will begin following you. Then aim toward somewhere where the horse can continue for a long time before he has to turn... Then kick him a few times and he will keep going without you kicking more. Turn around with your bow and the snake will start following you and when he opens up his bug eyes.... You shoot him in the eye. Just keep shooting don't worry about charging just keep shooting and eventually hit and he will open up his gaping jaw and scream and fall and you get on his belly and strike his symbol. If he flips up again then you repeat.

[♥Mark]

Yeah, the art direction in this game is awesome. It really shows. I don't think I've ever played a game that framed every second of gameplay adhering to the rule of thirds. Originally posted by Beef Jerky What console is it on? PS2.

[baronbrocoli]

This is such a good game, with a very minimalistic storyline and giant bosses (for real lol). Also the scenery in the game is impresive! There's a cool twist in the end of the game that I really didn't expect! really good!

[Umbrasquall]

The ending is great.

[Led]

^^^ The Ending I can't wait to unlock the stuff and climb up the tower. I am gonna kill one of thos turtles!

[Wildman]

I was kinda disappointed with the game, not that it is a bad game, but it was so hyped up and the ratings were too high in my opinion. Sure, the fights can be extremely fun, but once you've beaten one colossus, you really don't feel like fighting it again because the entire aspect of figuring out what to do is gone. The game itself is good and the whole environment is nice, but in the end there's no real replayability. Finding the colossi got old fast, and in the end all you're doing is fighting 16 bosses, and that's it. Nothing else, and no new features unlocked along the way. And when you're done with them, you (or at least I) don't feel like playing it again, as fun as the battles were.

[Goldney]

Oh man, I just dusted this off to play again. It's as good as it ever was, even by current-gen standards. The only problem I have with it is that I already know how to defeat each colossus, as well as what they look like which was one of the great things about the game. I cannot wait for Team Ico's next game: That's the only image in circulation of it. Frustratingly clueless.

[NeoSioType]

The game's map is actually a lot smaller than what it shows, nevertheless a nice game.

[slayer]

Is there a name for this new game? Because I heard there would be a possible SotC2 for the PS3

[Goldney]

The game's map is actually a lot smaller than what it shows, nevertheless a nice game. Don't get me started. I'd forgotten just how much I loved everything in SotC. Is there a name for this new game? Because I heard there would be a possible SotC2 for the PS3 I don't think that's Team Ico's style. I'm fairly certain though that it will be in the same vein (ie. artistic style, gameplay, narrative etc.) as Shadow of the Colossus and Ico; but as for a direct sequel, no. Anyway, it wouldn't make any sense. At the end of SotC, all of the colossi have been killed and Dormin (the god) was released from its imprisonment.

Yeah, but we both know we want to go back and fight 1000 foot colossi with up-to-date graphics...
