Shadow of the Colossus for PlayStation 2

Pros: Atmosphere
Cons: Camera

You may not realize it, but the story of Shadow of the Colossus attacks you philosophically. Flashback had more of a backstory. In Flashback, we knew the main character’s name was Conrad Hart, and we were treated to an opening cinematic of him running ...

Pros: innovative concept, truly grand sense of scale and epic battle proportion, nice graphics
Cons: Slow at times, not quite as good as the hype surrounding it

Overall: 8 Gameplay: 8 Graphics: 10 Sound: 8 Concept: 10 Replay Value: 6 The word "colossus" in the title of Shadow of the Colossus has a double meaning; not only does it refer to the monsters you fight in the game, but it describes ...

Pros: Gameplay that'll inspire you, graphics that'll floor you, and sounds that'll elevate your listening standards.

Pros: Simple but not simplistic. A unique, mesmerizing experience.
Cons: Some graphical sputtering and limited replay value.

Shadow of the Colossus is something different. Like Hollywood's summer blockbusters, most current games try to wow you with flash and special effects from the start. In contrast, the austere vista that serves as SotC's title screen foreshadows the ...

Pros: Large world, amazing graphics, sound and cinematic sequences.
Cons: Controls can sometimes be a bit too precise, thus giving you a slight disadvantage.

Shadow of the Colossus Reducing a name such as "Shadow of the Colossus" to the title of "video game", in and of itself, is a bit of an insult. Not only that, if I happen to hear of any reports of Shadow being called "just a video game," I'm ...

Pros: Graphics. Control. Overall Gameplay. Interesting concept.
Cons: Short. Redundant. Lack of characters (friend or foe) to interact with. No real replay value.

Pros: A truly unique idea, loads of visual style
Cons: Clunky controls, clunky camera, clunky pacing. And the horse... I hate the horse.

I was a little slow to get on the Ico boat. The game was never regarded with anything less than sterling praise, and when I finally scavenged a used copy, I was rewarded with a beautiful and engrossing little game. I felt emotionally connected to it, ...

Pros: Epic world, epic battles, epic story, amazingly engrossing game on all fronts.
Cons: occasional graphics slowdown, sometimes balky camera, limited replay value

Shadow of The Colossus (SoTC) is one of those ultra-cinematic games. As a general rule of thumb, I don't like these types of games. Final Fantasy X was probably the worst offender, as it was basically a poorly done version of The Joy Luck Club ...

Pros: great visually and stylistically
Cons: not fun, camera ishes

I had pretty high expectations as I rented this game, since I heard so many good things about it. There's plenty of good and bad, now that I've played it, so here goes... The Skinny In Shadow of the Colossus, you travel on your horse with a ...

Cons: Most gamers can tackle this in about a week or so.

To tell you the truth, when I bought Shadow Of The Colossus, I wasn't entirely sure of what I was getting into. Sure, I read a review at IGN, but I guess I never really paid too much attention to the parts where the reviewer describes the games premise. ...

Cons: A little Repetitive and little depth to the story.
