How to get blood from a stone... a huge, living, monster-shaped stone

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

And actually I was thinking the same thing. This will be the thing that sells me the PS3 if a sequel is released for it. I want more flying colossus in a second game.

dude this game is the shit. the grapphics could use some work but thats okay cuz its a reely erly ps2 title.the open landscape is reely fun to explore believe me i took the time. the gameplay is phenomenal and the game i just unique by itself. and ya it could have used some more flying booses or maybe one more water creeture
