These gripes are the reason that number at the bottom of this page isn't a 10, and they might be enough to make some gamers walk away from Shadow of the Colossus. That's fine if you just want adrenaline, and don't really care if your games are unique or artistic. But if you really want something different and meaningful, you must play this. You will remember some of these battles for the rest of your gaming life, and you may never play another game that blends art and action this seamlessly.

You'll love
  • Boss battles like you've never seen
  • Impressive (though chuggy) graphics
  • Moody, artistic atmosphere
You'll hate
  • Controls and camera fight too much
  • Chuggy (though impressive) graphics
  • Some in-game hints aren't too helpful
