A blow of fresh air in the filthy valley of games.

User Rating: 8.8 | Shadow of the Colossus PS2
1. Supposedly great graphics and beautiful and moody vast background bared by underpowered PS2 specs. So the graphics sometimes feel muddy. 2. Very exciting soundtrack in the midst of boss battle, delivers an exodic and graceful feeling.
3. Taking against such huge bosses are just plain fun and addictive. Puzzle solving have never felt so exciting before! And watching the colossi fall is just awe inspring!
4. The control is sometimes cluncky. It's almost impossbile to ride on horse back while in the boss fight, because it's just too hard to be controled. The physics however is very believable and realistic, thus make the fights very immersive.
Over all, it's a great game with loads of innovation. It should be appreciated by not only gamers but artists as one of the most artistic video game pieces in the history.
