A game unlike any other...are words that describe shadow of the colossus

User Rating: 9.1 | Shadow of the Colossus PS2
By snakeofsolid | Review Date:
Shadow Of the Colossus is a entirely unique game unlike any other game out there. The whole premise of tackling thsese gigantic beasts one after another is totally new. Unlike other games, this game is just one boss fight after another, at first it may seem like it will be repetitive and boring, you soon realize every behemoth is unlike the last, totally different way of climbing it and so forth.
One thing that really stands out is the fur on the colossi, it just looks simply amazing and is probably one of the factors that contribute to this games main flaw, its framerate. It can be unstable and even goes down to the teens, but it doesnt fully mar the experience. The Orchestral score is amazing, as it becomes more heroic when you finally climb upon any of the beasts.
However the game is on the short side, so shelling out the 40 may not be the best option here. Most people should be able to beat this game within a 5 day rental( i beat it in 2).
