Great game with some control issues at times
User Rating: 8.8 | Shadow of the Colossus PS2
First off I had to rate this game high because I actually felt the need to finish it. There have been quite a few games that I start and have no desire to finish because I find that a lot of games aren't worth my time. I have a really short attention span, so a game had better be awesome or I won't waste my time playing it. This game is great. The more I played the more addicted I got. Once you kill one colossus you want to kill the next one. I found it highly addictive. There were some control issues at times. The horse pissed me off so much at times that I just wanted to shoot it and send it to the glue factory. The controls aren't that big of an issue, but at times are irritating.
Another reason why this game is great is that it's just one huge boss battle after another. I was floored by just how huge some of these creatures were.
The story wasn't all that special, but who cares. As far as replay value goes...when you beat the game it unlocks a hard mode. I really doubt if I'll go through and play this again though.
The game is also on the short side which also doesn't bother me. I finished the game in 12 hours and 35 minutes.
If you can find it in the bargain bin go for it. Though you can buy it for 20 bucks new.
Anyway, this is one of the better games I've played lately
