Game Review: Shadow of the Colossus

Tags: Games

Shadow of the ColossusFrom the makers of ICO comes: Shadow of the Colossus for the PS2. A game that is a series of massive boss battles. With an interestingly different story line it really lives up to the ICO pedigree.

The Good:

  • Great atmoshpere once again, travelling across the empty world is quite surreal.
  • Progressive mode graphics, enhances the overall look of the game.
  • The Colossi are huge, you really get a sense of scale when you see them.
  • The soundtrack is just spot on for this type of game.

The Bad:

  • Lots and lots of Boss battles, 12 would have been enough for me.
  • Sometimes its really hard to figure out how to attack the Colossi and the hints just won’t come.
  • Camera can sometimes really hate you.

Overall:

Wow, another fine game that won’t disapoint if you like ICO. Highly recomended.
