Why does everybody like Shadow of the Colossus?

What's with the whole, I didn't like travelling, it felt too empty, thing...durr it's supposed to be like that the games is supposed to make you feel alone, which would you prefer riding alone to the colossi, or riding along and taking like an hour to get that because some stupid goblins keep knocking you off your horse, i know which i prefer.

As for the graphics, I don't care about graphics in games but personally I thought they were great, the textures aren't that good but have you played other ps2 games, any grand theft auto? they have square hands for crying out loud, the gra[hics are much better than most things I've seen on ps2. And it's not just the graphics, don't look so deep at them, look at the animation, it's brilliant, the way he jumps, and the flowing of his cape, the way the Colossi move and attack, superb animation.

Finally the framerate. I don't know what it is but I never stop framrate issues in games, except for pc because my pc sucks and it lags, I think because of that if a games frame rate drops below smooth I don't notice unless it actually lags out.

You dont need goblins to stop feeling alone, but an abundance of wildlife is certainly nice, though it would probably slow down to a halt. This way your trip is still short but has eye candy to keep you happy on the way.

Yeah but it's supposed to be a mysterious forgotten land, the only wildlife there is is birds, which makes sense they can fly into the place, no other animals could've survived without food, and before you say how do the colossi survive then, they are the trapped spirit of a god...gods don't tend to need food.

Although it was a game that i only rented, SOTC is like a refreshing experience, u get that feel of adventure.

And after defeating a colossus u just cant help but feel sad. the graphics were pretty artistic and beautiful

instead of seeing the same old unreal engine. And i agree the ps2 is a nice piece of hardware, selling 37.1 million

units in the U.S. alone. god knows what it did in japan and europe.

i love the gamebecause i have never played a game of it's size facter. it made you feal so small. i would have like a world of this to do. imagen if it has towns with people in it. selling items ect. the artist feel would have really good in like a rpg/action. elements of life. a couple of lizards was not a nuff. the wierd part is when i think about how the heck did we like the travilen with in this game. the horse and you that it lol but some how just by riding a horse with nothering going on was fun. hopeyou under stand the way im trying to discripe it.

Bad framerate? Hm...I see that on an HDTV, but that's due to the tv's themselves, I guess.

I liked it because of the story, and the gameplay. It's incredibly simple, given the controls and battles, but I think it's just the fact that I play a game where I fight these creatures with nothing but my sword, bow, and faithful horse.

It's a game for people like me, who just love to fight in an intense boss battle every now and then.

The game is epic. The ending is sad though, but overall the game is great because there is no other game like it.Truf89
