    r3dhalo's Shadow of the Colossus (PS2)

    [January 31, 2007 06:25:01 PM]
    So far Shadow of the Colossus is one of the most cinematically amazing games I have ever played. Just about everything about the game is epically scaled and amazingly executed. From simply riding through the lands on your horse to climbing larger than life creatures you feel like you are a tiny thing in a huge world. My favorite colossus by far has been the one that I fought over a what looks like a an abandoned gated temple that has filled with water and become a lake with these deserted towers sticking up out of it. The colossus is a giant bird that you have to lour towards you by shooting at it with your bow and arrows, when it swoops down you have to jump onto its wing. There is a huge swell in the music as the flying colossus takes off with you on its back and flys in erratic patters trying to shake you off while you scuttle around on its tail and wings stabbing its various week points. One of the amazing things about the game is how attached you become to the main character without ever actually hearing him speak. All you know is that he is all alone in this forbidden land with only his horse and a dead girl who he is battling giant monsters to bring back to life. Even the horse becomes a character as he is your only company (that isn't trying to squish you).

    After playing only the first Colossus in the game I'm pretty sure that I am in for a seriously awesome experience. The game starts with a character riding across a huge bridge towards a giant temple-like building carrying a girl. After some instructions from a disembodied voice you are put strait into the game. You have to hunt down and kill giant Colossus's to bring your ladyfriend back to life, using light reflected off of your sword you must search them out across a huge overworld map. I jumped on my horse and headed off to find the first colossus, who I found in a smallish valley. I spotted him from far off (due to the awe inspiring draw distance) and he just continued to grow as I got closer until I stood no taller than his toes. As I got off my horse and headed towards him I noticed the great music swelling up and it really helped to put me in the mood. Also as I got closer to him I noticed that the framerate had dropped considerably, but also that it took very little away from the gameplay since it almost added to the kind of dreamlike feel to the game, although the very fact that it was noticeable bothered me some. I used the light from my sword again to find the week spot on his heel. After hitting this I was able to climb onto his arm and eventually up to his head to stab him in his magical weak spot, sending huge streams of blood spraying out of his head. When he eventually fell I was attacked with what looked like spirits and woke up again in the temple.
