Shadow of the Colossus
I just finished this game and I can say it was a pretty impressive experience. This game was released in 2005 and has gotten pretty good reviews and had felt the need to see what all the praise was about.
The game play is pretty interesting, you walk around a world populated by sixteen monsters. Most of them are giant, several stories high. You must defeat them all in order to ressurected your fallen love. Thanks to the help of Agro, your horse, you roam around a cursed land with a light sword that points the direction to the next Colossus. These creatures have specific weeks points you must discover and attack to bring them down. The game is not too long, about 11 hours and it’s part of the Greatest Hits collection. If you get to play it for a really cheap price or to rent it’s really worth a while. The fighting requires multiple steps and you have to be ingenious enough to figure out how to bring down those monsters. Imaging having to solve puzzles in real time as you battle a monster that can kill you pretty quickly. It’s really a case of a mouse trying to bring down an elephant.
The music score and the visuals a decent considering it’s a PlayStation 2 game, and at the time it was pushing the graphics of the PS2 to it’s limits. Fun and quick anyone would enjoy.
