    Frf's Shadow of the Colossus (PS2)

    [March 13, 2009 08:18:50 PM]
    Hello to all reading this! I just started Shadow of the Colossus today, because GamesRadar keeps ranting about how awesome it is. I actually bought this game before about a year earlier, but I didn't know how to find the first colossus so I quickly became bored. :P Anyways, onto the first boss!

    Day 001------
    Okay, so I'm saving this girl from an eternal sleep. I need to kill 16 colossi to do so. Sounds easy enough! I take a couple of hours to try and actually get on my horse, and then I try to figure out how to get the idiot to move! Not liking the controls or the camera so far. I eventually get the hang of it, and use my shiny sword to lead the way to Mr. Colossus #1. I come across a mountain, or a steep cliff, or whatever, and climb my way up. Simple enough. The controls were a lot better here than operating the uncontrollable beast they call a horse. So I get to the top of the cliff. A cutscene.

    ..........Holy..............

    Alright, I knew the colossus was going to be big, but I have to kill THIS?!?!?!? If a plumber can kill a fire-breathing turtle, then a generic wandering protagonist can take down a towering monster. So I run up to the colossus, and jump on to his left foot. (Yes, I read a guide on how to kill him before I got the game. Sorry. :P) I promptly stab the conveniently placed weak point, and the beast gets down on one knee. (Will continue later)

    Frf's opinion and rating for this game

    Shadow of the colossus is one of the few games who has done well both critically and commercially, and isn't afraid of trying new things. Its bosses are renowned for their towering presence, as well as the unique ways you can latch onto them, and give them a deadly blow. I love the game dearly, mainly for its beautiful environments and brilliant concept, but the camera is iffy and the controls.....Aren't too fabulous. :/ Shadow of the Colossus will either hook you from the get go or leave you confused about what all the fuss is about. If you like artsy games or games that are just different, it's a must have. For the mainstream shooter crowd, rent first.
