Shadow of the Colossus 01-09-15 10:43 PM

One of the most interesting games I've ever played. Shadow of the Colossus is a game that I distinctly remember being pretty much everywhere when it first came out. I saw it in video game stores, I saw it at Toys R Us, I even saw it in some stores like Walmart and Target. This is actually somewhat impressive, considering the game's "spiritual predecessor" Ico really did not get much publicity at all in North America, and really only amounted to being a cult hit. Back then, I didn't think much of the game. I couldn't even detect what exactly it was about. But, a few months ago I decided to pick up the game and give it a try, and man, I was not disappointed. THE STORY The plot of this game honestly isn't anything spectacular. I barely paid attention to it. Some people might even find it hard to understand, but to sum it up in a nutshell, the game features a guy named Wander, who has to take his horse and defeat 16 "colossi" (giant, though occasionally smaller, monsters) in order to revive a girl who is either sleeping or in a coma or something, I never really figured that out. There is slightly more to it, but most of that is revealed in the end and I don't want to spoil it for those who haven't played the game yet. GAMEPLAY This game has a very unique style when it comes to gameplay - it's extremely minimalist, and is far different from most other adventure games you'll play. Unlike other adventure games, there are no people to talk to, there are no enemies to fight besides the colossi (who are essentially each their own equivalent to a boss battle), and there actually isn't even much music that plays in the game except during cutscenes and fights with the colossi. Therefore, for the most part the game focuses on atmosphere - a lot of the time you are trotting around on your horse to find the next colossus, with you occasionally having to jump off and fend for yourself. You only need to use your horse in about two, maybe three, of the 16 colossus fights, so most of the time you'll ... Read the rest of this Review
