    b-rabbit's Shadow of the Colossus (PS2)

    [January 26, 2008 02:28:37 AM]
    GAMEPLAY:

    While continuing my gameplay, It seemed to be a lot easier once a figured out what all of the controls are. But it all seemed to repetitive. All I did was get on my horse, find a colossus, find its weak spot, and climb up its leg and stab it. Killing all of the colossus were the same story. It just seemed to simple and I didn't like that.

    All of the gameplay was the same story. There wasn't much difference in the different colossus. It made me feel really bored while playing and after playing the game for another hour, I felt like giving up because I couldn't understand the story since it was like in another language and the only thing that talked seemed like it was some sort of god or spirit like figure. So while I was playing I couldn't understand any of the story line and all of the gameplay was all the same, nothing new never really happened and it made me really bored so i gave up on the game.

    DESIGN:

    What made this a good game in a design perspective, was I liked how the giant scale of the colossus was used to imagine as if it really is that big and it makes it seem impossible to destroy the colossus. However, all of the levels or different colossus that you have to kill were nearly all the same. I did not like that aspect of the game because it made it seem like you are fighting the same colossus every time, the only difference is that you have to stab a different area of the colossus.

    I also thought that their was never really any conflict in the game other than trying to hold on to the colossus when you tried to climb it. And then the colossus kept on trying to fling you off, so it would drain your energy and then you would fall off. Thats the only conflict that I felt throughout the game, but the game showed any complexity to it. It was way too easy. Right away when you look for the weak spots on the colossus, you know where to strike it and how to get to those spots, because they only give you one way to climb up its legs, so it was easy to get the weak apots and kill the colossus.

    I really did not like this game, it was insanely boring to me. And there was no reward system that I saw of. If I were to change something in the game, I were to grant the player a reward system somehow as well as have the AI for the colossus be smarter and move a little faster, because they moved incredibly slow. I would also make it seem a little more real. For instance, when you fall from a 100 foot colossus, you should die, and not just get injured and lose some health.

    SUMMARY:

    This game is a Role Playing Game. You control this character in a giant world. The point of this game is to collect the power of these colossus to revive your friend that was injured. So the object of the game is to kill these giant colossus creatures by climbing on them and stabbing them in their weak spots.

    GAMEPLAY:

    This game is very stange. I didn't understand any of the story line at the beginning and even later in the gameplay I still didn't understand the story line until someone told me the story. Other than that its weird that this simple little man is able to kill these giant colossus by simply shining his blade to find the weak spots of the colossus, and then somehow trying to find a way to climb up on top of the colossus and hit it with your sword while trying to hang on to it.

    When I first started playing the game, I couldn't understand how to kill the colossus at all. But then I finally figured out that I had to charge my wepon to inflict more damage. One of the flaws that I thought was wrong was that since it was the first time trying to kill a colossus, that they should keep showing you the controls of the game while playing in case you were stuck at a certain part of the game.
