    That was a freaking great game back in the day, I couldn't even believe what I was sawing when I played it for the first time. Fumito Ueda really did something, and inspired a lot o people with his work.

    Rather oddball adventure in which you search a largely empty landscape to find a series of huge creatures you must defeat in turn to progress. Really just a glorified series of boss fights, SOTC is wonderful to look at but ultimately left me rather cold.

    The grand designs of each colossus and the physics-based combat system make every battle in Shadow of the Colossus feel like a desperate struggle against an impossibly powerful foe. The battles are too forgiving, which undercuts that feeling of overcoming an enormous obstacle.

    I have to give games that introduced something never done before and just knocked it out of the park. It could have had more story, but that would have taken away form the allure of the unknown. A wonderful new approach to combat mechanics. You must play this game once. Probably in my top 10-15 games of all time.

    Shadow of the Colossus is a PS2 masterpiece. It's a triumph of visual artistry and packs an emotional wallop through mainly images.

Gameplay-wise, it's very simple and can even get a little repetitive. Your goal is to hunt down 16 mystical creatures, but first you must find them with a "compass" of sorts. There is some platforming before you engage in a battle with a massive and majestic monster. Ultimately, the game comes down to being a series of boss fights. But it's an outstanding looking game with beautiful barren vistas and fantastic creature design. Unfortunately, the game has a framerate that chugs when you . But despite it's shortcomings, this is one breathtaking game. I would rate it with a 9.1 out of 10. Expand

    This film noir portrait of corruption and morally-compromised obsessions stars Welles as Hank Quinlan, a crooked police chief who frames a Mexican youth as part of an intricate criminal plot. Charlton Heston plays an honorable Mexican narcotics investigator who clashes with the bigoted Quinlan after probing into his dark past. A memorable

    BRUH, CAN YOU LET ME POST MY REVIEW!? WHY DO YOU INSIST ON NOT LETTING ME EXPLAIN MYSELF YOU COWARDS!?

    Anyways, this game is decent will explain more when Metacritic lets me.

    Actual Review:
    While I do have issues with this game such as a few of the colossi sucking, the camera being obnoxious at times, the horse controlling poorly, the story not connecting with me, some technical issues, and the completion process being miserable (SERIOUSLY DO NOT COMPLETE THIS GAME!!!), it's still mostly enjoyable and I'd still recommend giving it a try, i swear! Especially on the PS4. Mainly because the strong parts of this game are really strong. The OST is great, the atmosphere made the game more immersive, and most of the colossi are wonderful to fight. These things alone makes finishing this game at least once worth it. They doesn't erase my frustrations with this game and I won't be coming back to it for a long while but check this one out. Just be prepared for some annoyances that may come your way.

    Score: 6/10 (Closer to a 7)

    An unusual but great games. The atmosphere and minimalistic story were great, and the design of the colossi as well the way you are suppose to deafeat them are extremley ingenious and creative. The controls work fine enough but sometimes they can feel a bit unresponsive and inconsistent, but overall a great game that I could see become an 8/10 for me in the future.

All of the battles felt the exact same to me, with very little to really make me feel challenged or interested in what should have been truly epic confrontations.

    I find myself with very little to say, as this game has very little to it. Do the same thing over and over until the game is done. Sometimes a design would be interesting, sometimes I'd run around for a while before being told what I had to do, but nothing quite made me feel engaged in the fights, the world, the story, the characters, or much anything. I can only love the concept of this game so much, but everything else has to pull its weight, and sadly Shadow of the Colossus managed to fall at every other hurdle.

    É uma obra atemporal e de fato uma obra que fez diferença nos jogos e merece totalmente seus créditos e sua fama de cult, inovador e diferente, jogando faz anos mas nunca vi nada igual a Shadow Of Colossus até hoje e isso é algo que me deixa triste.

Каждый из колоссов как отдельная игра, к каждому нужен свой подход. Ну и конечно сюжет, который может сильно зацепить и даже заставить некоторых пустить слезу. Сюжет связан все таки с ICO (хотя многие это отрицают) По атмосфере, обе игры очень схожи, чувствуется, что над SotC и ICO работали одни и те же ребята. Игра не сложная, да, тут иногда приходится долго искать колоссов, а потом думать над тем как его поразить, но все это так увлекательно, что это даже плюс. А вот после того как вы узнали как "подобраться" к колоссу, сразить его, уже не составляет труда, т.е. битва с колоссами - это больше головоломка чем экшен, мы и тут видим отголоски ICO, которая как раз и была сплошной головоломкой. Игра шедевр! Больше и добавить нечего, такие игры редко появляются.

The vast landscapes create a brilliant sense of isolation, the riding sections stand in great contrast to the colossi battles, and the subtle effects the game gives become progressively more impacting to the player's experience of the game.

Scale and design will never make up for playability in my book. Expand

    When i started playing this game i never thought i could love it the way i do now, it's just incredible, every single thing is priceless, an art work from every single part of it, such good fights that makes unexpected turns and challenge the player to grow with the game, Unique, epic and magic adventure.

Podría haber sido todo un clásico pero encuentro varios problemas importantes como, a pesar de innovador, a veces inútil y desesperante uso de la cámara, la poca información que se te da sobre lo que tienes que hacer a continuación (no siempre un problema) y el poco contenido sobre la historia que bajo mi punto de vista, si no has jugado antes a ICO, te parecerá que la historia no es ni importante.
    Como puntos buenos pongo el uso de la cámara a caballo que me ha parecido increíble, la variedad de colosos y el diseño de como vencerlos.
    Una cosa que me gustaría añadir es que vale que después de cada coloso derrotado se vayan apoderando cada vez mas de ti y al final tu aspecto cambie pero podrían haber metido ese concepto desde el principio como que contra mas enemigos derrotados mas van creciendo los rasgos y comportamientos propios del Wander "poseído" del final y no que lo metan de sopetón en esa escena.

    Mesmerizing, artistically profound, and frustrating. Perhaps that would sum up this one-of-a-kind experience. While it very likely was far more revolutionary in 2005 than it seems now, if you give it a chance, you will find this to be an unforgettable masterpiece, hunkered down only by the occasional crappiness and lack of fun to the gameplay.

    This game starts slow and ploddingly. As you get to know the controls and the style and expectations of the boss battles, it can feel like a chore. But somewhere about 7 colossi in, the uniqueness and creativity of the battle experience starts to resonate, and at that moment, I started feeling like I couldn't wait to reach the next one.

    The visuals are of course one of the very best for its day, the horse controls were ahead of their time, the grabbing and climbing controls start to become appealing and second-nature, and the musical score is brilliant. Now, why is it an 8, you ask?

    Because honestly, sometimes the game sucks. It's like that show you look forward to watching each week but every few episodes are duds. It's still a great show, but you can't say spectacular. I found several moments where, if someone asked how I liked the game, my response would start with a sigh and end with "I'm just trying to beat it." But at other times, I'm awed and impressed by the entertainment value and the appropriate balance of difficulty to the battles, and the sheer creativity they delivered via such simple mechanics. Some fights are monotonous hair-pullers, and some will be wild rides of endorphins.

    My conclusion: SotC holds up, probably moreso in its re-release, but it is not for the impatient. If you begin it, be prepared to finish it, as the pure glory and beauty comes via the conclusion. It is about an 11 hour game with lots and ups, and quite a few downs as well, but I can say I'm thoroughly pleased and satisfied in the unforgettable experience that is Shadow of the Colossus.

    Anybody who gave this game a bad review was either drunk when they played it, or just suffers from crippling stupidity.

    I've owned this game since 2006, and it's the only reason I will always replace a failing PS2. I've grown incredibly meh towards all video games over the years, but this game will never, ever, ever bore me.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is not a game, this is an art. i love this game, rhe soundtrack is awsome, the gameplay is awsome, everything is AWSOME! too exited for the ps4 remake. (serious review- this game is very great at making you fell smal. some ppls call this game HORSE RIDING SIMULATOR, or say -
    : i hate this game, its ridiculous ride the horse.
    but nah, riding agro is exiting, cause its the best horse iv seen in a game, cause its not a car cosplaying horse, but a real horse, pausing in precipices to don´t fall, running away from collossus and etc...
    when you play this game, you realize agro is one of the main characters, not just a horse to go to point a to point b.
    and sorry if you not played this game, but in his ´´death´´, you just wanna to cry, stay in your room and cry more.
    and the collosi... oh the collosi... they are epic! when you are climbing one, you feel adrenaline with the soundtrack and being small near one of these collosi. like climbing valus for the first time, riding pelagia, being hunted by dirge or walking on avion.
    now ill speak about the map.
    the map is very big and beautyfull and like the collosi, you heave pleasure do crossing the map. its very huge and beauyifull, when minus turns plus. t

A game that tackles philosophy and themes that rear themselves up as you go deeper in it's atmosphere and world. The music is legendary and has a wonderful array of colossus to fight. The only downside is once you beat the game, there is little to replay that hasnt already been done. Play on hard mode and try the time attack trials, but afterwards you'll probably get tired of it. Admittedly, some of the colossus are not creatively equal, but the diversity and impact of the few make up so much as a balance. Truly one of the best art games of all time. Expand

    Mas vamos ser realistas, o que existe entre aquele templo onde fica aquela menina deitada e os colossos que voce tem que matar ? Resposta : Nada. O jogo é só matar 16 colossos. Um vasto campo de cenário onde não tem nada, só uns lagartinhos e umas tartarugas de vez em quando rastejando. E outros grandes defeitos, a camera e os movimentos do personagem, são horríveis, 80% da dificuldade do jogo é por causa da camera e dos controles do personagens, onde uma tarefa simples de escalada ou montar no seu cavalo pode te matar de raiva. 9 horas de jogo no máximo.Nota 7,5, até Castlevania Lords of Shadow é muito melhor, nem quero comparar com Zelda Twilight Princess porque é covardia.

    Shadow of the Colossus is one of the most beautiful games I have ever played. A well crafted masterpiece. The story is engrossing, deep, and emotional. The gameplay is not the the greatest, but it works pretty well. And the graphics are solid. Play this game with the HD version if you have a PS3, If you're on PS4 though, you'll just have to hope for a remake or remaster to the current-gen.

    Shadow of the Colossus is a masterful classic. There's nothing else like it, and it's widely regarded as one of the greatest games of all time, and this claim is not without merit.

    The game's concept of world exploration spliced with 16 bosses may not seem all that special until you realize that this is the only thing you do in the game, and the world is gigantic and the bosses are incredible. Basically the world's greatest boss rush.

    The game is divided into two sections. In one, you explore a vast and open world, uninhibited by pesky loading screens, and uninhabited by any human life. The land is barren and sacred, and is giant enough to legitimately get lost in. In this section, it is silent and calm, the only sounds being the ambient wind or your own horse's hooves on the ground as you travel.

    In the second section, visited during all of the 16 fights with the titular Colossi, everything is fast and loud, with long and arduous fights against impossibly powerful and gigantic foes, which is a boss fight and puzzle platformer hybrid, each completely unique in appearance and method in which you defeat them. In this section, you are required to think and observe, looking for ways to get onto the Colossus and take it down, while at the same time avoiding the Colossus's own attacks. Grabbing onto a Colossus will result in it trying to shake you off, and the constantly dwindling grip gauge forces you to choose your moments and find a balance between offense and letting yourself recover stamina with every opportunity you can get in between the Colossus's wild flails.

    As stated, each Colossus is unique in appearance and method of combat, and they are truly stunning spectacles. The Colossi actually feel gigantic, moving slowly and ponderously around, towering above your character, imposing a challenge that seems impossible to overcome. When you're on top of a particularly tall Colossus, the height is exemplified, the terrain around you becoming small, and allowing you to see miles into the distance. The camera is programmed to point this out, revolving around the character and the Colossus, panning out to show off the scenery and the sheer monumental scale of your opponent, and it makes for amazingly cinematic moments. Felling these giants results in it falling into the ground, a thunderous boom resounding as it crashes heavily into the ground. Although there are two Colossi that are actually around the size of a bull, these ones make up for it in sheer aggression, though the first of these two can get annoying as it will knock you down constantly, and you'll find yourself unable to get back up fast enough to avoid it plowing into you again over and over.

    The world is vast and open, every single place, save for the final area, being accessible right from the beginning (though there is a specific order in which you have to fight the Colossi). The world consists of multiple areas, from dense forests to rolling hills to arid deserts to roaring waterfalls, and it all looks and feels stunning. It's more than possible to get lost on your way to a Colossus and have to find your way all the way back to where you took that wrong turn, which can get a bit annoying if it happens more than once or twice, but the world is so beautiful you almost won't even care.

    A criticism I have concerns the gameplay itself, which can sometimes be cumbersome and finicky. Hanging onto a Colossus and trying to attack it can sometimes be a chore, as even the tiniest movement will interrupt any attempted strike and have you readjust, and this can become problematic when the Colossus won't stop moving for two seconds enough for you to actually get a hit in. This is only really problematic on a few select Colossi, but it can become a real hassle.

    All in all, Shadow of the Colossus deserves all the praise it gets for all the aforementioned points, and if you're a patron of the more artsy games, this is a must own.
