Shadow of the Colossus review
Team ICO developed and Sony Computer Entertainment published Shadow of the colossus on the PlayStation 2 in 2005. It was released in Japan, North America and PAL territories and is now released on Sony's greatest hits.
The game is an action-adventure that takes place in a fantasy world, in the forbidden land with no one around but you, your horse and the colossus. The player takes control of a young man called Wander, and his horse agro. The point of the game is to find and defeat 16 colossus to bring a young girl back to life. You start the game off by traveling to the forbidden land with the young girl. Once there, you walk into a temple and hear the voice of the entity called Dormin (the voice is of two, one male and one female as one). The game has its own fantasy language but has subs so we can follow along. After Dormin explain about the land, himself and the colossus it is now time to explore, find and defeat all 16 colossus....
I really love this game, When you find a colossus, you have to find it's weak points to defeat it. But some are harder to fight and to find than others. These colossus are huge! It's like you are fighting a 40 stories building that moves. The graphics are great for the playstation 2 and the gameplay is nothing to laugh at. I love the soundtrack so much that I purchase in a CD store. Thought the hero of the story is the guy wander, in my opinon it's the horse. As for the colossus, they come in all shapes in sizes, some can fly, some can run, and some are just creepy. But they are all very awesome in their own way. This is one of those rare games that are just perfect or near to perfection. The game is like $19.99 on Gamestop, so go check it out.

@fried_ryce - lol my sister isn't really into video games either.
I Love this game! though my fingers get kinda tired after each take down...
I really like this game. Still haven't finished it though. After re-watching the trailer, I'm definitely going to start it back up again.
@Lordv16 - You should, this game is awesome in every way ^_^
@SimpleLocket - I think I downed 9 of the 16 before I started traveling, but it's been a while. Considering just starting over. I had a lot of fun playing, so yeah, I'll definitely be finishing!
Did you feel slightly evil while you were playing the game? Because your character is doing something that will ruin things
