  • Have you played Ico?

  • This collection is a must.

    This is what happens when games become art.

    Actually, they are not even games - they are an experiece.

    Noone should cheat themselves out of these.

  • your reviews are so sarcastic and to the point i love it keep up the good work :)

  • I got the Ico and Shadows of the colossus collection for christmas, only beaten the second colossi...? yeah colossi. And got to say i LOVE it, im a big fan of anime and manga though, so its not surprising, but I have minor issues with some of the controls >.>. It's really great though.

    By the way, you going to review the new Twisted Metal?

  • I love the ones that fly... being on there back and flying through the air was great!

  • this game is THE best game ever made. not to mention, the previous Ico was good too. waiting for their next project The Last Guardian, but still Shadow of Colossus is the best among of all three. you have to think, use your brain how to kill the boss. this ain't like any other game which "Press X for finisher" or something shit like that. if you can't think well enough to kill the boss, i'm afraid you just have to stop playing it or you won't make any progress at all.

  • This game is amazing! The bosses are awesome and the exploration elements are really good. The bad thing about the game are the that the controls can get really unresponsive.

  • Sony has all the best shit :(

  • One of my favorites too.

  • lol he said underrated what the heck lol hell naw lol lol thats and classic hommie lol nice video tho

  • @Str8UpReviews sup man lol

  • @bobbyw223 yo yo yo

  • The best thing about this game is the control. You control how you scale each giant. Most games now insist on quick time events because the developers are too lazy to actually give you the controls you need to do something exciting like this game does. Taking down one colossi is far more rewarding than taking down any of the giants/Gods/demons from God of War, sure they had personality but there was no achievement in pressing buttons when the game tells you too.

  • Mass Effect 1 is the most under-rated game of all time.

  • @sargentaaron2004 you r in the wrong vid, but yes very fun game

  • @bobbyw223 No, he asked what we though and that'd what I thought.

  • @sargentaaron2004 lol w/e

  • Oh man. I could just keep playing this game over and over. It never gets old.

  • I'm sorry but I had to look up info to kill that fucking sea monkey, walking gorilla thing.

  • i love speed running this game XD

  • I got PS2 I wish I have PS3 to get the HD and I have the demo and I agree best 10 or 12 hours of gaming :D

  • @ReynaldFrost save up

  • IT IS AWESOME I LOVE IT !!!!!!! IT IS WAY BETTER THEN LEGEND OF ZELDA!!!!!!!

  • My favorite collosus whas the tall one that tries to hit you with a stone sword. Forgot his name but i think he s nr 3

  • I have no idea how this guy does it.

    I mean, usually when a guy "reviews" a game/movie by just talking in front of a camera, it looks lazy and retarded. But this guy..... he's got talent.

  • I just hate the ending of this game. The end rapes your work.

  • do the assassin's creed series!

  • i never finished the game on the ps2. but i watched this and i was inspired. so i bought the HD remake and I WRECKED THAT SHIT!!! thank you @jeremyJahns

  • I remember in another review, you said you had the Playstation and not the N64 back when they were released. I think you should do a review of Chrono Cross, if you have played it. Though, many people would probably prefer a Chrono Trigger review. Fuck them, I'm more important!

  • @JeremyJahns if there was a love button i would have hit it.... i 100% agree!! this is such a bad ass game, not to mention when you get white agro aka shadowfax hahaha

  • Just bought it:D

  • I used to say arrow to the knee then I realized Skyrim sucks and this game is fucking amazing.

  • @darbusmaximus I wouldn't go that far to say Skyrim sucks.

  • @Cowpath3 I would

  • @ByakuyaReborn Touche`

  • @Cowpath3 nope my father wasn't a donator to a sperm clinic.

  • i agree with everything he just said... THE END!

  • Honestly this is like, in the entirety of video games, top 3 along with Arkham City and Ocarina of Time. What sets this up above those two is one aspect, its replay value. It is much shorter than the others, but the moment your done and you put it down, you just HAVE to play it again.

  • It's nice that you like the same things I like Jeremy. =)

  • EPIC GAME!!!!

  • One of the best games ever. Period.

  • I HATE the loose guardian colossi! they always knock me over right when i'm about to get up, other then that the game is fantastic

  • @MultiMegify Its called reaqlisticty, but yes with that happening i was pissed, next time hope to be knocked out of there range :)

  • I used to hunt colossus untial I got arrow in my kneed

  • @taotaosland that's still a thing?

  • @taotaosland please find a more funny and original joke, thank you for your time

  • @taotaosland at least use it right >.>

  • Oh my God, now I want Peter Jackson to remake this into a movie!

  • A Fuckin Master Piece

  • I used to play Playstation-exclusive games... then I got a Xbox 360 two christmas ago :(

  • i cant wait for the possible movie of SotC XD

  • This is bullshit Lmao

    

  • This sounds even more satisfying than killing dragons on Skyrim. I thought I'd be freaked, but when I see them now I smile and get ready.

  • I really wish i could have gotten into this game

  • i know i may get some hate for this but i just didnt enjoy this game. I mean it was very cool in some part and the graphics were nice but the controls were just annoying for me. When i was climbing the colossus it was just annoying because it never stopped shaking and the climbing controls were bad. The horses controls also didnt help me at all and it seemed like Agro would have a seizure. I think this is the most overrated underrated game.

  • @tardersauce12 Agro is a pain to control during fights, I ended up switching the triangle button to L1 though so i could move the camera better while riding and it really helped. I don't know about the climbing though, once you know some of the Colossi's movement patterns I could scramble up on to them without any trouble at all. I found climbing much more free & precise than games like Uncharted.

  • @RupturedFarms ya thats true but i am glad that some of the bosses dont move that much

  • I'd call this game Skyrim's artistic, Japanese older brother.

  • 1. T.T no ps2

    2. O.O Halo? O.O...

  • this game is... Awesometacular!

  • U sold me this Game!!

  • This game really is amazing!!

    I loved it so much while playing *though I was terrified of it for a while...*

  • hey jeremy you played it on 3D yet or hd yet? i just did about 5 mins ago, the 3D on this game is up there with uncharted's 3D MAN! just watching them walk towards you and have them stomp their feet right in front of you and see all the sand jump up you actually feel like covering from it, and and and and and..... what a game

  • Problem is...youtube ruined the ending of this game for me. As badass as this game sounds, every youtube reviewer who has reviewed this game (except for Jeremy) has spoiled the ending and defeats the purpose of me buying it.

  • @coltsfanca Even if you've seen the ending the game is definitely worth playing. Trust me.

  • @coltsfanca He never spoiled the ending... he just said what the game was about, believe me he never said the ending, I myself was amazed by the ending, thats as far as I can tell you and I seriously recommend you buying this game

  • @LD1E60 No no no...I'm not saying that Jeremy spoiled the ending. I'm subscribed to Joshschorcher who does Top 10 countdowns for games. He spoiled the ending for SotC in multiple videos, but it's not his fault (there were multiple warnings for spoiler alerts that I ignored). I know exactly how the game ends now.

  • I have to buy this game, all I hear is this game is bad ass

  • hopefully the movie version of this thats coming out next year won't be horrible, of course its likely that it will be since its being written by thata guy who wrote street fighter. but whatever

  • dude the second to last boss took me an hour and a half to beat, no joke.

  • are u shitin me now dude this is bullshit... lol

  • This is my favorite game of all time. It's amazing how much story you can tell through silence

  • i want this game is it only on ps2

  • @filmmakerkenny you can buy the hd version for ps3

  • WTF does he say at 0:37?

  • 908 people felt like king kong on cocaine XD

  • King Kong on cocaine hahahaha so good.

  • played the original and the HD version OH MY GOD THIS GAME IS AMAZING

  • I've ALWAYS wanted to play this.

  • After Ocarina of Time, this is the best game ever made.

  • @squerintain fucking zelda games....im sorry but there soo queer (here comes the hate)

  • @911jesse Yeah right.... what a cliche comment you just made, your probable saying that cuz its a nintendo game and its for "kids" right? i bet you've never played a zelda game.

  • @911jesse Give the games a chance! i respect your opinion, but keep it to yourself.

  • @squerintain Amen, brother.

  • Castlevania -Lords of Shadow has 2 boss fights that reference to Shadow of the Colossus

  • Bless you for showing this amazing game some love!!

    Jeremy doing the voice from above - LOL!!!

  • butterfly.

  • is a easy game is hard for the newbies

  • @2charliefreak or perhaps casual gamers 

  • Most underrated? Everyone always rated it good. Underplayed maybe.

  • @drradon underrated is in not known much, we all know this game gets good ratings

  • another underrated gem: Beyond Good And Evil

  • the best the best the best ever game...wow everything is great about the game...

  • Ico review please :)

  • Can you compare this game to the god of war series?

  • @zombislayerpwnsnoobs not really. they're very, very different games.

  • @zombislayerpwnsnoobs Nope. Mainley cuz god of war is a type of hack'n'slash game, like the devil may cry series. I dont think you can compeare shadow of the colossus to any game EXEPT the game Ico, which is made by the same people who developed SOTC :) buy the HD game pack and get them bot!!!!

  • I have the PS3..........PS2 playback. nough said!!

  • The only thing is I don't think that the colossus are "terrorizing the world". You go out and kill them because a voice from above tells you it'll bring back your loved one. They are sleeping when you approach them, they wake up, and you murder them. They did literally nothing to you. By the way, this is one of my favorite games of all time.

  • King Kong on Coke!

  • 3:00 That's my brother.

  • where is Master Chief?

  • @EmixMarr dont even go there lol

  • when

  • this game isn't terrible but it feels like a zelda game with almost nothing to do and barely any story. i would say it's overrated. thats just my opinion.

  • Omg Im so broke and I want to buy the HD release. Man jeremy! You just gave me blue balls... :(

  • this really is one of the best games i have ever played

  • Man! If only I had money to buy a whole new game console, Uncharted 1 and 2, Shadow of the Colossus, I would almost never play xbox again. Except for Portal 2.

  • This is a good game, but it is NOT underrated. Every review I've ever seen/read about this game said it was epic.

  • @ZappaFan101 he isnt saying that the game doesnt get good reviews, what he is saying is not very many people have played the game, so no too many people know much about it

  • "And you just know that the last thought that goes to the mind of the colossus after you take him down is:

    Are you shiting me now dude, this is bullshit"

    LOL

  • the horse ftw!

  • Dude, play Ico. It's awesome, and is a sort of sequel to SotC, even though it was made first.

  • @drgnrdrgrl Ico is barely half as good as shadow of the colossus. But still a good game.

  • when i first saw this review i thought the game was bullshit......now i wish i wasnt broke so i could buy it

  • @Tennyson88 it's like 15 bucks for the ps2

  • i subscribed after i saw this video

    

  • Underrated? Seriously? I don't know. Its pretty widely known as a great game. But I guess it's so good that being known as great still is underrated.

  • This game is one of the reasons i kept my ps2, this and the Onimusha games.

  • Its not that underrated. IGN Rated it the best ps2 game of all time an mgave it a 9.8

  • Good review. You know what other game you should review? MASS EFFECT 2 PLEASE!

  • this game looked good for a ps2 game i still play it today!

  • you know, its weird that xbox dudes AKA "hardcore gamers" always idolize the male main characters. hmm.

  • have you seen mega64's Shadow of the Colossus video? it's awesome.

  • No matter how epic this game is why doesn't anyone mention how shitty the frame rate is. The frame rate ruined this game for me. I am so freaking hyped for the PS3 version! super smooth frame rate rules.

  • I'm sorry, but it's definitely not underrated. For you see, everyone who has played it deems it as some kind of Holy Grail of Video games (and rightfully so).

  • Shadow of The Colossus & Earthbound....... THE TWO MOST UNDERRATED GAMES EVER!

  • Everytime i get to the last colossus i cry when agro falls

  • totally agree but it's actually a legend in the world of video games

  • -.-...but it'll be the same ga....fuck it it's shadow of the collossus...im going to FUCKING BUY THIS SHIIITITTT

  • it is funny how you censor yourself once and that's it

  • How much I love this game! I mean,they have to make number 2 because it's hella addicting, and dude nice review

  • what JJ said, but also the animation quality of the character and the horse rivals many games of today... and this is a PS2 game! Also you have a grip meter that shows how long you can hold on before you fall off so you have to build that meter up, aswell as your health meter. I still have to finish this game, it's so epic and love how unique it is. What other game has only boss battles? What other game is a platformer at the same time that it's a boss battle?

  • "most underrated game ever" are you serious? There is not one bad review dor this game and everyone loves it

  • Zelda minus the bullshit. Top5 ever, ever.

  • 12 people were beaten by a butterfly

  • @mkocja5a Make it 13 LOL

  • @mkocja5a And one is Epona

  • @mkocja5a

    While 841 people feel like King Kong on Crack.

  • Great review, this is honestly the best game ive played i cant wait for HD. Any clue on when it comes out?

  • Best game!!!!! Play it on the ps2, screw up my ps2, didn't complete the game, got a ps3, waiting for a ps3 version and now it finally here.... Yes!!!!!!!

  • Under-rated? Really? Try over-rated. I can't stand how many people consider this an "epic game" and how timeless it is. No, you see, Zelda is timeless, Mario is timeless. This game is nothing but the result of a group of lazy game developers who thought that they could still make money by cutting out what makes a game a game and just having boss battles. To top it all off the game itself screws up on numerous accounts, including, first and foremost, terrible, glitchy controls and movement.

  • @krios739 they took out what made rpg type games shit boring and compensated with great boss fights. they made a story that was obviously very deep but let your imagination fill in the gaps. this game is timeless and the controls are fine, you just suck at it.

  • @MrSlimshorty it doesn't even qualify as an rpg-type game, the boss fights are repetitive, the story was stereotypical and there's nothing "deep" about it. The point of playing a video game in the first place isn't to use your imagination either, it's the equivalent of taking out every cutscene and line of speech from, let's say Halo or Assassin's Creed or really ANY video game that has a storyline and releasing it with the devs telling you to "use your imagination."

  • @krios739 ots amazing how you think this is repetitive but halo or assains creed arent. you can say anything is repetitive. why? because all games are going to maintain the same concept thats what makes the game individual. this game is NOT halo or creed, it has a story that builds without dialouge or frequent cutscenes. The game looks simple but you find it is very dark and emotional apon searching. i understand this game isnt for everyone, try and understand it is for someone.

  • @MrSlimshorty The reason why this game is intensely repetitive is because there is no room for trying out new things. There is no strategy. Each enemy in the game can only be killed in one certain way. You don't get to try out anything new. And even then, the controls are terrible. Deny it all you want, but it's true. Oh and another thing, more often than not, people don't play games to search for the story. They may be able to fix the controls in the re-release, but they can't fix the monotony.

  • @krios739 You, sir or ma'am, have NO imagination, and that is very sad...

  • @mgs3re4dmc3 It's a video game. Imagination shouldn't be playing into it. I've already explained a bit why it shouldn't either. It's a like a game purposely not including something vital and then having the tagline "Use your imagination!" It's lazy and not at all fun.

  • @krios739 Apparently imagination can't play into it for you since you are incapable of it. Go play your Halo and get unimaginative.

  • @mgs3re4dmc3 Exactly what I thought. Stick to that argument. And when you reply to this, don't forget to say I don't have any imagination. Because clearly you know me.

  • @krios739 Okay then. "You don't have any imagination." There I said it.

    But at least you're not afraid to admit it. I guess that's good enough.

  • @mgs3re4dmc3 I don't know what's worse, that you didn't understand the obvious sarcasm in my last statement or the fact that you think you're going to win an argument with a baseless accusation.

  • @krios739 If you resort to sarcasm like that then I already won.

  • @mgs3re4dmc3 At least MrSlimshorty is being intelligent with his arguments. He's bringing up points about the game instead of just attacking me as a person. So either make an actual argument or kindly piss off.

  • @krios739 The movement and controls are terrible you think? Try GTA IV. At least SotC has animated movements that are more responsive and don't take physics too heavily. In GTA IV for example it takes so much to simply turn and start running because of the physics engine lagging your movements. It's a game so why should it have so much emphasis on dragging physics? SotC is more responsive to button presses even if the model looks glitchy while doing it.

  • @mgs3re4dmc3 The controls aren't one of my biggest grievances, as in the remake they will likely be smoothed over and fixed, as with the glitchy graphics. The actual game itself is what I have a problem with. You would've known that if you had been reading my comments instead of just catching the "I don't like this game" part.

  • @krios739 Ooh, now you're attacking my persona. With regards to "imagination", your argument is contradictory. You say video games shouldn't have imagination play into the experience, but your point about replayability cannot be stated if imagination doesn't come in to allow the player to try out new things. The imagination aspect is the player's fault if they cannot find ways to be creative with the game. Also, how is the story "stereotypical"? What classifies as a stereotypical story?

  • @mgs3re4dmc3 I was not attacking you directly. And it is stereotypical because it's the same story we've all played through hundreds of times, with not even an ounce of effort put in to make it different. And once again, you are failing to see my actual point. When I say "imagination" I'm refering more towards story-based aspects of games.

  • @krios739 But story aspects in video games can blend into the aspect of gameplay as well. Why can't they be in union?

    And how is the story the same hundreds of times? How is Halo's story not the same hundreds of times? How is Mario or Zelda not the same story hundreds of times, despite being "timeless" as you say? Mario saves Peach and Link saves Hyrule. Master Chief defeats Covenant, Covenant takes Reach even though we knew that already. SotC's ending has nothing we've seen before.

  • @mgs3re4dmc3 I suppose it depends on whether or not we're talking about it specifically or generically. You appear to be talking about it specifically. At any rate, I am tired of having this painfully drawn-out argument. It's easy enough to say that I am saying it is a bad game for my given reasons and you are saying it is a good game for your given reasons. Arguing seems like it won't get either of us anywhere because we're both incredibly adamant in our stances, so let's leave it at that.

  • Comment removed

  • @krios739 the game introduces new elements each time even if it seems like just another colossus. portal is a similar game, each test room may look the same but each time they add on to what they have taught you. shadow is a puzzle game that looks like an action game on the outside, and once you solve a puzzle, does it matter if you find a different way to do it the next time? why would you even want to?

  • @MrSlimshorty Doing a different puzzle using the same mechanics as the first one is boring. It's different in other games when the environment isn't also the enemy. Portal is another offender, though it was improved in the sequel. And finding new ways to face a problem (be it a single enemy or a whole swarm of them) is what makes games fun and replayable.

  • Me when I finally killed the 6th colossus (after 7 tries):

    My thumbs are numb, my dinner's gone cold and a think my dog just took a piss on my bed...but none of that matters cuz YOU ARE DEAD AND I'M AWESOME!!!!

  • sometim es i hate being an xbox guy

  • wheres master chief? subscribed cuz you said that

  • Curse that Butterfly!!

  • He forgot to mention that the PS3 version will have Trophies

  • Jeremy if you really like Shadow of the Colossus you should try monster hunter
