COME ON!!! Why mess up the idea of a great creature known as the Colossus.
THIS GAME SUCKS BIG TIME. The graphics are incredibly beautiful. I have never seen so many different landscapes look so vivid before. The character is your average Icarus minus the wings with a regular horse, looking to resurrect his dead girlfriend by fighting these giant monsters (which by the way are the only enemies in the game; at least they were as far as I got and I got to duke it out with two of the Colossi) known as the Colossi. Are you kidding me? You had this great dame, she was hot, she was nice, funny, sweet, with a decent set of twins, and she died. Time to go and get another one right? If the Man Show did a parody of this game, it would show the dude burying the girl, being sad for maybe six months to a year (and I am exaggerating that time period), and him hitting the club with 50 Cent and Kanye West to pick up some new girls...LOL. Sorry to get off the point here but the game itself is just not really that fun. The sound in the game is very sub-par. Leaves blowing in the wind almost resemble the sound that the kernels in a microwave bag of popcorn sound before they start popping. The controls and playability suck because when you're kicking the horse and trying to turn it around to maybe run away from the Colossi, there is a major delay in the reaction time in the controls. The motion of the main character, his horse and the Colossi are very blocky. It's almost like everyone in the game was invited to Studio 54 based on the fact that they can do the Robot. Love the graphics, hate the game. Sorry Shadow of the Colossus but unless you're included in a plot to stop an evil ancient mutant from taking over all existence, from Russia, and wear an X on your right shirt pocket, you won't be seeing the inside of my PS2 anymore. You're getting a 4.5.
