User Rating: 8.7 | Shadow of the Colossus PS2
Shadow of the Colossus is a great game, even without the back story. The game's simplistic nature and theme are all that it needs to deliver a great gaming experience. As the protagonist (who is unnamed), you must ride your trusty horse, Argo (why the hell does the freaking horse get a name and not the protagonist?!) all around a seamless country side looking for Colossi. All of them are incredibly big, but not insurmountable. Some are prone to hostility and others are a docile as a lamb. The graphics are stunning and superb. If you're a fan of Ico, then you'll love this game. The only drawback would be trekking across the game looking for each mountainous beast to slay. The game is great and the visuals are breath taking. Get it, play it, love it.
