Shadow of the Colossus
 

This game...Its addictively innovative. Its greatly challenging. It requires fast reflexes and an imiginative mind. It's like God of War meets Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Well, I checked, and as it has been 5 months since this game last got a thread (and the last one didn't have a reply from me in it), I think I'm going to go ahead and take the time to say something about this game.

I love it. It's so incredibly awesome. I tried to play Ico, but it couldn't quite draw me in. However, this game did.

I love boss battles, and a game consisting entirely just of them is pretty sweet. Figuring out what I'm supposed to do was fun. (Even if I did have to resort to looking online for the first and last one.)

Great style and sweet graphics.

And while few, all it's story elements are poignant.

In other words... Go play this game. Like, right now.

Go on. I'll still be here when you get back.

...

Wasn't that awesome?

The Wandering God

EDIT:

Nikose:
Perhaps, and this is just me saying it, maybe you went in with the wrong expectations? SotC is actually a pretty simple game. Not very involved inventory juggling and you regenerate health. But everything about it is so put together, it makes for something is really more than the sum of it's parts.

...okay, back from playing. it was okay. lacking in some areas that I can't QUITE put my finger on; it wasn't an instant-orgy like Perfect dark, but...

It's like playing Ocarina of Time on the Gamecube. Something just felt... MISSING.

One thing I'll say about this game is it's the first game in a long time that's made me just sit there in awe of the scenery and the sheer scale of the thing, the boss where it has that massive sword that you climb up when it swings it into the ground at you, so fucking awesome. This game is the only game of this generation so far that really got the feel of epic or majestic going. Last time I had that in a game was the first time going through Hyrule in OoT.

Yay, SotC! I just started playing through it again yesterday, on hard mode this time. Gonna get me some special items.

I love the whole "If you see that place, you can go there" thing the game has going on. You can still see the tower in the distance when you're far away from it and it just gets bigger when I get closer. Plus, there's just so damn much to explore. I just wish that controlling the horse wasn't so damn retarded.

What's everyone's favorite colossus? Mine's probably either 2 or 15.

The one I mentioned, I think it's 4.

My favorite battle was the very long one that glided around. You had to shoot out its gas sacs to make it come down for you to jump on it. Just awesome. I love the water serpent too.

The swordsman that greed was talking about, although I thought it was three.

The one with the beard was fun, too.

You're right just checked Wiki it is 3, the horse is 4.

I liked the wind serpent, Phalanx, the most.

Mostly because you get to fucking ride Agro alongside of the serpent's wings, fling yourself off, and grab on for dear life.

I haven't seen anything so epic since I saw LotR: Return of the King.
