| I was wondering what some have thought of this game for the Playstation 2. Personaly I found it to be a brilliant game, quite well done (even thought its graphics engine could be considered dated), with a beautifull soundtrack composed by Ohtani Kou (some might recognize this name from Haibane Renmei's musical score), a stunning and powerfull cinimatic feel and a feeling of accomplishment I have not felt from a video game in quite some time. I strongly recommend it to those who haven't herd of it or played it yet. |

I'm a big fan of ICO and was one of the many who eagerly awaited this game and it doesn't dissapoint.The whole game is boss fights which i think is a first....like you said the music is stunning....and grandiose...just like ICO.The graphics are a little outdated...but so was ICO's....visuals aren't everything....it's the overall presentation. My only complaint is the inbetween is boring at times....just looking for the collosi can take some time....but when you do find them...WOW!!!Just looking at them can get intimidating....so far i'm on the 5th collosi...the flying one....DAMN...it's allusive!  |

Oh, god, I LOVE that game!! I rant about it to all my friends whenever I get the chance. Freakin' amazing, my friend. I haven't finished it, though. I think I'm on the 7th... And I love the 5th, as well! I just said last night to my brother that I wanted to fight that one again, 'cause it was so awesome. xD
:D

HOT DANG! I just got back from playing it... for like one and a half hours. I usually don't do ANYTHING that long, except sleep or school. The really big tortoise dude with the geysers... is that the 9th? I just killed it, it was sooo hard... And now I'm totally stumped on how to kill the sand worm. The sand worm's either the 9th or the 10th, I'm not sure. It was the first time I died on that game... T.T How the heck do I kill the beasty worm?? An hour should've got be through one or two, but I'm totally lost on this one.  |

I beat the game a week ago, it has a beautiful, but incredibly strange ending, much like ICO. To tell you the ending would be cruel on my part, but just expect the unexpected! BTW the last boss is freakin' insane! Not only is he the size of the turtle colossus times 10(!), but you can die just getting near him. Taking him down is a huge ass welch too. You have literally 5 trigger symbols to hit to move from his waist to his head...Great Game Though. Hope it sells... @S-a-c-h-i-e-l(Cool EVA name) The sand worm is easy. Ride in front of it with your horse and turn around with the bow equipped. After a while, the worm's eyes will open. Fire into them to blind it and move out of its way. It will crash into the wall, giving you a chance to jump on it's back and stab it's head. Move quickly though! |

Heh, I figured that out earlier today... I heard someone say I had to hop in his mouth, and I was like O_O;... So I started shooting it a few times after I died... And hit its eye on accident. I was like w00t! Now... The really cool one. The most elite in fun, cool looks, and... I dunno, something else. The 13th! Info on it below if you want to read it (select it). <<<======>>> The flying one in the desert with a flooby belly! That thing was like 600 feet long... I loved climbing him! Running all the way down, jumping off your horse and landing on him, it's all too cool!! <<<======>>> Dang, I love that game. |

Aw c'mon...why? It's weird yeah, but if you ever played ICO, you would appreciate it more. I thought it was kinda cool being tricked like that, and killing the 16 good guys was kind of a moral blow...I do admit the baby thing is weird...but it's kinda nice too..right? |

the game's real gd, especially if you're playing it the 1st time round... and you can experiment on the different ways of killing each colossus...but i guess that's just about it...there isn't much to do after that...'cept for time attack and hard mode. i dont think hunting lizards and fruits are considered as mini-games. but the game really have a killer ending (i almost cried for Wanderer..the way he died and got sucked and all...) |

Methinks the Wanderer is totally misled by his will to get his girlfriend or sister or whoever back. Killing 16 huge, one-of-a-kind beasts, shooting harmless lizards, seeing the way he looked at the end of the game (his face was just rotten toward the end X_X)... *sniff* |

You realize that he didn't die...right? He got turned into a baby! it's weird and akward, but at least his lover is alive. The wanderer was mostly misled by the weird voice (forgot his name!). BTW, the original namefor this game was Wanda and the Colossus. Wanda in Japan, Wanderer in America! BTW, when the girl was lying on the pedestal, I tryed to shoot her with an arrow...didn't work...I also tryed to shoot those doves...THAT WORKED!!! (Evil grin!) What was the most annoying colossus for you guys? I hated the tiny bull colossus who's afraid of fire! |

The dude's name was Dormin, and the colossus I hated was that little sand worm that you had to shoot in the eye. |

Wow,this game is awesome. I beat in the beginning of January and it seems like it only yesterday. The last colossus was like........................holy crap. Some people think it is a prequel to ICO,i'm not sure. Recently,the followers of Critic's bar just defeated the 3rd one. |

I've heard some of the bosses from my friend and I kind of forgot about some of there weakness. I've helped out at Critic's Bar and some of us got injured, one of those monsters came to my resturant that I run, good thing critic was there to help while I was away. But the game is cool, I think I should ask him to borrow it.  Laharl, the Overlord of all. I rule Netherworld Restaurant as well.

Yeah, Shadow of Colossus kicks major ass. My favorite Colossus would have to be the last one...just awesome. I didn't really like the ending though.
You need a reason to be sad. You don't need a reason to be happy. The secret to happiness is to face the fact that the world is horrible.

My friend came over yesterday and let me borrow it though I haven't began yet. Actually, let's begin it right now, shall we? Overall - 10/10 game (it's just to damn nice, graphic, great!) *see ya...*

BWAHAHAHA... I have a renewed lust for this game... After forgiving the ending, I played it some more, found out about time attack and reminiscence, and THE META THEORY... If you've beat this game, then you absolutely have to read this... it's a lot of reading, BTW. Here is where the page is, click on the link to "Plot/Theory Analysis" under "In-Depth FAQs" and get a snack... Honestly, if these dudes are right, this game is SOOOO awesome... |

I won't read it now (though 2mrw or something) because it's getting late, and I have to do homework I stupidly forgot! I'm already on my 4th or 5th Colossus (The Flying One). Took me about an 1½ hours but I can retry it after I beat the game and I'll prolly get a better time.
