I am about half way done with the game and even if the second half of the game totally chokes (it won't) I have seen enough to say some pretty good things about this game. The story line is mysterious and works well as such. The world that was created is beautiful and one could have a decent enough time just walking aroung and looking at the gorgeous landscapes that the game displays. The developers correctly avoided including smaller enemies or weapon upgrades. This brilliant "less is more" approach provides a fantastic contrast between the Collosus whom you fight throughout the game. These monsters are as much fun to look at as they are to fight. The battles are fun and challenging as each collosi boasts different abilities and weakpoints. Overall an amazing and totally original concept that delivers on every front. Buy this game.
