    This is a masterpiece. A great game to a great year for games. Resident Evil 4, God of War and now this piece of art. I got say, I didn't stop play it until the end and now I'm just started the hard mode and looking for secrets out there. Beautiful.

    A great game. More and more I appreciate games that allow the player to take an active role in filling in the blanks as opposed to having one's role/motive/history completely spelled out for you.

More and more I appreciate games that allow the player to take an active role in filling in the blanks as opposed to having one's role/motive/history completely spelled out for you. In taking on the role of this game's hero (who really is a hero for seemingly being so normal while standing against such overwhelming odds) I found myself sucked into a very living world that would exist and go on existing whether I saved the day or not. And, unlike most other games, nothing was ever allowed to clutter or take away from the pure experience of the game itself. If anyone ever wanted to know how it may have felt to be a legend-in-the-making from ancient mythology (ie. Hercules and his 12 labours) while not already knowing the tale or needing to adhere to a cumbersome and jarring system of hitpoints or character development (and, ultimately, a whole bunch of filler to give a sense of the "epic" in that the video game odyssey simply took a long time to complete), never before has a game captured the feeling and the atmosphere of a myth so well and with such vitality. Simply put, the minimal aspects work wonders if you let yourself play the role. And you need to think like a normal guy taking on giants to be successful at this game. This is not a game to be conquered more than an experience to lose one's self in. And, somewhat like in life itself, it's not for those who need to know the answer to every question "Why?" to be satisfied. Beautiful if not a little arduous at times, but aren't all legendary tasks every once-in-a-while? A game that rewards the mind... if you care to use it a bit more than you would for most games or movies. This game is epic in that it makes you feel so small. Absolutely unique.… Expand

    How can you overlook this game? The visuals up close may not be great but if you use the camera to your advantage and look at the background, it really takes you back. Although the camera controls may be stubern, the innovation, gameplay, and design in this game is enough for at LEAST a 9.0 score if not more!

Love the simplicity of weapons and gameplay, but simple doesn't always mean easy. Good use of diversity of the colossi and how to bring them down. Two things to work on to make this game perfect: 1) Camera angles, to much manual use, and you don't have time to mess with it in a battle. 2) Explain the storyling. This game probebly has the most web sites that have theorys about the plot. GREAT GAME!!!… Expand

    A mature, unique fantasy tale that manages to compel and impress without falling back on the over-used tropes of coputer gaming. Possibly the best video game I have played this year, and the best PS2 game I have seen, hands down. We need morer games that push the envelope and provide new, unique experiences like Shadow of the Colossus.

More impressively, it knows how to use the mechanisms of its medium to reinforce these thematic concerns.

    You become excited by the chase and anxious by the scale of your encounters with the vast, beautiful creatures whose destruction forms the central mechanism of the experience, but more atmospheric elements--the diminishing certainty of purpose, the proximity to the forbidden, and the sense of isolation --become tactile experiences, as well. When Wander's grip fails, and he tumbles down the flanks of a living mountain you've spent the past half-hour learning to kill, you share his exhaustion. When the final blow dims the iridescent eyes of the colossus, your relief at the end of the struggle is a physical one. On the other hand, you also share the futility of Wander's attempts to outrun the consequences of his victory...

    Even the repetition of the central game mechanic and the sparse diversion between boss fights, which first struck me as weaknesses in execution, seem, on further reflection, a central component of the experience. This is a bleak place that you've come to, and your purpose becomes a grim one. While rewarding is a somewhat unqualified term to use for this game's unique intentions, Shadow of the Colossus will certainly return your investment.    … Expand

Figuring out how to kill the thing is the hard part and the most enjoyable part of the game. the other gripe I have is that the camera can be a bit irritating and can take you out of the game a little bit otherwise this game is awsome… Expand

    the gameplay is superb there were a few times that agro frustrated me but besides that everything goes very smoothly it is an amazing epic feeling to fight the largest creatures video games have to offer.

    the story is fascinating and amazing use your sword to kill the colossi and bring back your loved one. and yet no matter how hard the colossi was and how mad i got whenever i failed to kill it i always felt a sadness when it crashed to the ground in its death. it's not something many games or movies have been able to do often.

    my favorite part of this entire game is the soundtrack. i love music and i love good music in video games and movies but this game has arguably one of the best soundtracks in a video game EVER it is absolutely beautiful i have never played a game that switches the soundtrack mid bossfight which it does when the game knows that you know how to kill the colossi. it goes from slow and mysterious to high paced and EPIC. it is just astounding and i loved every moment of it.

    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.

    absolutely one of the most well designed games ever created. the attention to detail is absolutely astonishing. the music is **** epic. the colossi are terrifying, and a treat to take down. i like that it's not just about climbing up the bastard and then being done, nah you gotta think, use your environment, they're all a little diifferent

    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.

    i think the developers had some crystal meth. heroin and vodka while making the parkour system. i tried climbing a wall in the tutorial. 95% of the time i dont climb the wall. cant even play the first level cause the game thinks bad parkour is a positive

    Una obra maestra, graficos buenos para la epoca, un juego sin demasiadas pantallas de carga, con un mundo con dibujado muy lejano y bueno. Colosos impresionantes, una historia buena y algo increible que nos transmite a todos los que lo jugamos.No es una juego demasiado corto, 16 colosos, tampoco es muy largo, ademas con dos personajes principales con una relacion muy carismatica y especial.

    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.

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.    … Expand

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

    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.

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.    … Expand

    All the elements of the game come together to create an experience which is unique to this game, just like Ueda's other games. 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.

I just wanted to experience the music, the world, the feeling of climbing the colossi and sending them into olbivion. This is a must buy. An experience of a lifetime.… Expand

    Todavía no me explico como una ps2 era capaz de mover semejante animalada. Un juego único y diferente a todo lo visto hasta entonces. Fumito se superaba y alcanza una obra maestra sin precedentes

    Игра реально поражает! Эти пейзажи, поиски колоссов, КОЛОССЫ! Огромные и величественные, такие огромные, что некоторые даже не замечают нашего героя, что даже Годзилла вкупе с Кинг-Конгом начинают грызть ногти.

Огромные и величественные, такие огромные, что некоторые даже не замечают нашего героя, что даже Годзилла вкупе с Кинг-Конгом начинают грызть ногти. 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.

    P.S. Отдельно хочется сказать про поведение Агро - коня Вандера, до жути похож на реального коня, выполнен просто великолепно! Отдельное браво!    … Expand

    An epic game that inspires determination and sorrow in equal measure as you explore a desolate landscape on a quest to slay stone giants.

    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.

    One of the best games ever! Shadow Of The Colossus is a masterpiece. Everything that an epic adventure needs to be. Memorable enemies, a story that allows the player to use their imagination, tight controls, and one of the most impressive soundtracks of recent note. In short, it's classic.

    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.

    Играл на пс2, лагало конечно ужасно) но геймплей очень крутой. Поразительная игра. Финальный босс разачаровывает. Но вцелом идеальная игра.

    Shadow Of The Colossus is a masterful and the best game on the PlayStation 2 without a doubt.

Every colossus’s is unique and terrifying in their own way, and every battle with them is outstanding. Especially the music the entire soundtrack of this game is magnificent and magical. The look of the game was outstanding at the time of its release, so are the models. and the additional time trails are a cool addition so is the additional difficulty increase. Shadow Of The Colossus is a masterpiece 5-6 hour game that is worth even more with its time trails, and the amazing soundtrack and story. (A Masterpiece 5/5) You Must Play It!… Expand

    Did you ever had the urge to ride trough a huge world looking for one single enemy for hours and beat him up for hours ? No ? When you start playing, you will learn that thats exactly what you needed.

    If you can appreciate artistry in games, if you hanker for an experience that transcends genre, if you want to see what happens when a creative design team is allowed to ignore sales numbers and flavor-of-the-month trends, by all means bring yourself into Shadow's world. [Oct 2005, p.98]

    A truly unique experience that inspires emotions in a way few games can. It has its share of problems, but I love it just the same. [Oct 2005, p.130]

    It's unlike anything else you've ever played, and so you may love it or you may hate it. Count me firmly in the "love" boat. [Nov 2005, p.142]
