somewhat dissapointing

User Rating: 6.7 | Shadow of the Colossus PS2
sure it has the graphics,the sound and the gameplay but it dosent have a replay value,for some reason there are only 16 colossus's in the game and i finished the game in 5 houres.the gameplay is simple,climbing on a giant colossus and stabbing him in his weakspots again and again until he die's,basiclly there is nothing else to do.yah you can hunt lizards for stamina and yes you can find a secret gurden after finishing the game but it's not enough.beside the small replay value i have found some things that really annoyed me.first there is no music during your usual ''riding on the horse''
adventure so it feels very blank moving around knowing you'l just have to fight another colossus... the world is huge though empty so all the beautifull scenary is worth nothing.i wanted normal enemies in the game or something to break the ice,nothing at all just the same.ok so every colossus is unique but why couldnt there be mor ecolossus's or some other puzzles for a change,and why the game speak's wierd?the storyline is completly boring from any ecpect(knowing its an adventure game make's it even more sad)there are only 2 main cutcenes: the biginning and the end and there is no voice acting!!!!
the sound was good when you fought a colossus then i felt good with the game....i must say i really loved fighting the colossus's although at some point i just got bored and ran away to play resident evil 4.


the word i can use to describe the game is ''ambitious''
becuse it has such a beautifull scenery and unique gameplay its worth a try but you cant count the game as the best game of the year.it's really sad that the game wasnt fully used to creat a game anyone would like.unfourtenatly the game is not suited for everyone so you should be cleaver if you get this game...many said this was a one time of a life expirience and i agree,this is the most unique game ever made but becuse of the short replay value,the empty feeling while traveling and the repeatetive ''stab the weakspot'' gameplay this would be a top notch game .this game could have been much much better.
