DESCRIPTION
End-level bosses are standard fare in video games, but the bosses are the levels in this unusual adventure. Developed by the studio that created the PS2's critically acclaimed Ico, Shadow of the Colossus is another fantasy-themed puzzle adventure that's light on dialog and heavy on beautifully expressive environments. Players take the role of a young knight who sets out to rescue his sleeping-beauty princess from a magic-induced state of suspended animation. To do so, he'll need to defeat the 16 Colossi — landscape-sized enemies so enormous that they can only be conquered by exploring them, platform-game style, to discover their weaknesses. Against some Colossi, the hero may ride his faithful steed alongside the monster, galloping at full speed just to keep up with its mile-long strides. Other Colossi require the player to actually climb aboard, and crawl, run, and leap across their massive forms to find the hidden vulnerability that can be used to bring them down. ~ T.J.

“Underneath its awesome boss battles you'll find a unique puzzle game. It's epicness is balanced out with lonely horse rides through a forbidden land. This game asks the question of how far will one go to save his dead girlfriend.”

“I've beaten the first four colossus in a row! The best game I've ever played. I like the lack of sidequests, so one is forced to beat the story.”

“I can't really think of a negative thing to say about this game. It controlled great. It looked great (especially the flying colossi segment). I loved the atmosphere, the minimalist, but engrossing story. I really enjoyed the sense of scale, and the way the game combined combat, puzzle solving, and platforming all in one. But in the end, I couldn't finish this game...I guess I felt by the end of defeating 8 or so colossi I felt like I experienced all the game had to offer. It just wasn't varied enough to keep me going to the end. ”

“In the past i´ve heard about a game that is all about fighting huge bosses. Wow thats
enough for me to have it on my own. But when i finished the game it even overwhelm my
expectations. I want huge and epic boss fights and i get the best gaming experience since
i start playing sixteen years ago. Sure i´ve played the "best" games on the next-gen consoles
but all those great games from nowadys can´t reach the moment when is was hanging on the
back of that fascinating huge colossus deep under the surface of an dark lake. the only thing
above me was the shimmering sunlight and the long beautiful body from my antagonist and hoping
that i can hold my breath until we are up again so i can make my way to his head. EPIC”
