Description

As a lone horseback traveller, your destiny is entwined with that of a lifeless young girl who lies on an altar within a vast temple. The girl is helpless, her soul has been lost and there is only one way to retrieve it... Following a voice from the heavens, you embark on a dark and dangerous quest to seek out and slay the enormous wandering monsters that roam this strange world. Only you can defeat these formidable Colossi, and in doing so, only you can bring life to the girl who lies waiting on the altar.




  • Each beast is immense in size and strength, the team's new and unique motion control system giving an incredible depth of motion density. The 'Organic Collision Deformation' system enables the player to grasp and climb the Colossi with precision, stealth is also essential in navigating these ever changing, moving and dangerous terrains. You must climb these terrifying beasts and strike the deathblow that will bring them crashing to the ground. However, slaying such fearsome opponents is no easy task – before these enemies can be toppled, you must first discover how to defeat them. And the challenge does not end there; after you have slain one monster you must begin the demanding task of finding the next...

  • The monsters in Shadow of the Colossus present the game player with one epic terrain but another is the world they inhabit. With only your trusty horse, Agro, for company, you must explore lonely plains, mountains, lush countrysides, sinister lakes, great caves and ancient ruins. Each Colossi is unique, organically reflecting the environment in which they reside. Each one you track down takes you one step closer to discovering your destiny and the fate of the girl who remains motionless and oblivious throughout.

  • An intense journey of exploration, puzzle solving and eerie battle, Shadow of the Colossus also includes the distinct, highly-acclaimed graphic style that came to prominence in ICO, making this an absorbing voyage of discovery with some of the most picturesque landscapes and formidable enemies ever to be seen on PlayStation 2.

"this game is a true adventure game if there ever was one. its so huge that u are overwhelmed just by the sheer magnitude of the game. the story is virtually non existant. you dont know the protagonists name or the name of the girl he is trying to save or his relation with her. you just know that you have to get rid of all the colossi ravaging the small country you are in to get her back to life. crappy story aside the gameplay is friggin amazin. the colossi are huge and every colossus is a level in itself. you will spend most of the time trying to get to the colossus and when you do find him trying to take him down. the physics when you are fighting the collosi are amazin. the colossus will do everything possible to throw you off once you are on him... yes thats right you have to literally climb onto the colossus to kill him. some collosi also have various attacks and its a lot of fun figuring out how to dodge these attacks and toppling the colossus. its so great that words fail me. the score is well composed as well and sets the right beat when you are fighting the collosus... all in all a really amazin game... if only the story had been better."
