  • what is the point of this game?..

  • incredibly beautiful!

  • youtube removed the ending theme music...bummer...thumbs up for protest!

  • 2:28.....is that the music played in heaven? 

  • Easily one of the best games made to this date.

  • Comment removed

  • The whole world MUST at least see this intro, i really would like to show this game to everyone that haven't seen it yet. They would cry with this intro with me, lol.

  • This game would make a so mothafuckinng epic oscar movie.

  • @rRagnaBR lol im not so sure, there is hardly any dialogue and im not sure how personal of a connection one will get when watching a movie instead of playing the game. This game does have all the literary merits and the action but the dialogue.... nah. Also most games that end up as movies suck. It might just ruin the importance and impact on the artistic drive that this video game has. As much as i would like to have this as a movie, I think it would be best to leave it alone

  • this game is so fucking beautiful <3

    its been 3 years i havent played this.... i miss it a lot ;u;

  • This is beautiful...

  • Games can be art. Case in point.

  • @devilholdscards agreed 110%

  • you just watch this intro cutscene and you already know what piece of art this game is, got my copy for my PS3 and cant stop watching the intro once again, ohh te memories

  • If video games are art, then this game is the Mona Lisa.

    (My opinion)

    Greetings from Switzerland ;-)

  • I looked on some of the comments below, and I got to say... I agree that this game is good :) It has excellent environments and spirit with it. Back in it's time, it had good graphics and some simple gameplay... but that's what I like about this game :) Because it stands out from the other games. About the music... it is incredibly good. Without it's good soundtrack, it would not be so great as it is :) The visuals is also great, and it has inspired many game creators over the time. End... GOOD!

  • This music brings back memories! ;')

  • Yep, still makes me cry to this day.

  • this game is perfect, assholes, and this is why. It gives you ever lasting impressions of beautiful environments, and great battles and visuals. Just seeing the first colossus had such an impression on me, that i dont think ill EVER forget this game. The Games this generation dont give me any long lasting impressions like shadow of the colossus did.Now, whenever i think about vast lands, or stare out my classroom window and look at the trees, I always think back to when i saw that first colossus

  • holyyyyyyyyyy SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTT I CANNNN'T WAAAAAAAAIT I PRE ORDERED THE COLLECTION YESTERDAY!!!!!!!!! IHNDEUEFOWMSDIOEWNFHEWDUHWDWUD­H

  • chego ate arrepiar quando chega na parte 2:28

  • Beautiful song O_O

  • SIMPLE THE BEST GAME I'VE EVER PLAYED

  • "We will fight to meet you again."

    A masterpiece was born.

  • @sargentozael you should be alittle more considerate, there's people who haven't played this and your comment has lessened the impact the games going to make on them. good job

  • This is a awesome game ! The graphics look like it should be on the ps3

  • Love it!

  • 12 colossi disliked this knowing they would die.

  • I cried when Agro fell.

  • this game should be made into a movie! this opening was very epic!

  • @waniacae8984 Thats why i like it. Simple, find the monster and kick his ass. Story was good too.

  • @waniacae8984 I understand where you're coming from, I agree with you somewhat. I felt like they should have used smaller enemies in between boss battles to break up the monotony and slow the pace; I guess they did what they felt did justice to the game and the story. I don't really know if what I just said is going to make a lot of sense, I'm running on two hours of sleep.

  • @waniacae8984 It's not the same as other games in terms of action or gameplay. I would consider this game the closest thing to art the video game industry has seen in terms of story telling and perspective.

    If you want good gameplay or action hit up an MMO or favorite classic scroller/rpg/insert typical game here.

    This game tells the story of one mans love, his journey, his sin, his redemption......

    You have to understand basic emotions to love this game.

  • @waniacae8984 fuckin dipshit, this game is a masterpiece, go play your shitty cod mindless shooters every year the same fuckin boring thing, arent u tired of your shitty existence?

  • @TurkishHegemony a master piece of shit. really you people are funny. this game is one of the worst i played gameplay is horrible graphics are horrible as far as the story it is what it is. like you said ill go back to playing my shitty games like chrono trigger final fantasy's vandal hearts zeldas splatterhouse toejam and earl etc i dont play new games lol

  • @waniacae8984 lol u dumb shit, the game is from 2005 what did u expect graphics like Uncharted 3? I just read your other comment, you only played it for 30 minutes and couldnt make it passed the first colossus LOL! Thats the reason you dont like it becoz you SUCK, dont ever try these type of games you 12 year old baby, dont go and cry to your mommy.

  • @TurkishHegemony you sound like your the 12 y/o but yea i expected smoother gameplay. they definatly tried to hard and what can i say i was bored as hell. the game starts out slow and stupid this so called loud booming voice might wanna speak english lol. the whole idea of the game is fail. the fact it made greatest hit is good marketing and ppl like you who give others the idea they might be playing a good game. ok thats enough lol i made my opinion on this game known. the games in my trash

  • @waniacae8984 LOL you expected upgrading and enemies? ALL GAMES ARE NOT THE SAME. There are different games that cater to different types of people. Seriously, I don't get people who are like "That game was so boring there was like no enemies to fight or villages to explore" or "TEH GRAphiX SUX LOL" about a game that was specifically designed like that. If you already know what you want in a game, WHY BUY SOMETHING THAT HAS NONE OF THAT IN IT? do ppl rly buy games w/out seeing what it's like??

  • @waniacae8984 -.- there was upgrading. that's what the fruit and lizards did.

  • @waniacae8984 The fact that you only played for 30 minutes before making a decision is so weak you missed out on so much more. Those of us who played the WHOLE game, we know what we're talking about.

  • @waniacae8984 So basically, you travelled to the first boss and got stuck on it. Then you quit the game, calling it "horrible" due to your lackluster playing skills. Seriously, my 10 year brother can beat the first boss on normal mode. Actually play through an entire game before judging it.

  • Shadow of the colossus for the ps2 & the Tenchu series for the ps1 make me the most nostalgic because of it's beauty in story (More so Tenchu) scenery, creativity & soundtrack (more so Shadow of the Colossus). There is no argument that video games are a work of art & one of (if not) the finest in the modern world.

  • i always loved the music to this game :D an i love the sense of companionship between you and agro, i mean that is a fucking good horse

  • I swear, I have seen this intro many times, played through the entire game many times, but even the first time I fired this game up, the intro for whatever reason brought me to tears.

    This is just an absolutely beautiful and stunning game...but anyone who has taken the journey of this game, knows full well this game is a masterpiece.

  • This is beautiful.

  • okay first of all i didn't see Mono on the horse until later on i saw a little wrapped thing in front of Wander...that tiny thing is Mono? okay anyway the game was epic. 9/10 story is also epic 9/10 and music even more epic 9/10...so yea the game rocks and one of the BEST game ps2 has to offer. if you haven't played this game you dont know ALL bout video games.

  • @hilluae3003 افضل لعبه والله انك صااااااااااادق

    والله يا عجب العجاب شوف كيف لعبه وشي بسيط مثل هذه ممكن انها تكون تحفه وفن وتوصل العالم كله من ضمنهم عرب مثلي انا وانت

    اجل احنا اهلنا لو يبغون يشوفونا جاسين نلعبهم راح يضحكون علينا. يااااااارب يوم من الأيام نوصل ما وصله اليابانيون حيث انهم ما يستسخفون اي وسيله من وسائل الفن

    the summary of what I just said was "this is the best game I've ever played"  :P

  • I cried at the end :(

  • Beautiful!

    

  • Not one of the many gamers I talked to ever knew this game or Ico. How ignorant can people be to let the greatest moments in game history slip by like that?

  • @BigMeanSheriff You're so damn right.Sigh I have a friend wqho play PES all day.I pity him

  • My favourite game of the ps2 with Kingdom Hearts 1,2, Final Fantasy X, Metal Gear Solid 2,3 and Dragon Quest VIII

  • what platform??

  • è uno dei giochi più belli al mondo meriti un pollice in sù :)

  • I want to buy a ps2 just to play this game.

  • @Giovanni43FC i whant to buy a PS3 just for this game

  • Best game on the ps3

  • To call this game perfection would be an understatment. 

  • 1 of the best games ever, played it really slowly just because i did not wanted to end this masterpiece of game :(

  • I weep for those who have never played this

  • shadow é o melhor jogo de ps2....

    é o que eu mais jogo muito legal a historia o grafico muito xique

  • :(

    mine doesnt work anymore.........

    T.T

  • imo this game is better than ico. this and resi 4 were the best games i playd on ps2

  • Greatest intro sequence in videogame history, hands down.

  • I love this game. The controls and physics were shot to hell beyond compare, unfortunately.

  • Perfection can't be improved on. 

  • I listened to the sunlit earth earlier today and I actually started crying. Games don't usually do that to you. Thank you Fumito Ueda.

  • oh my freaking god I would have a heart attack crossing that bridge!

  • This was the greatest game I have ever played in my life.

    I spent days where I did nothing but played it.

    They need to make a remake of it for all consoles.

    That would make a lot of people happy.

  • @DAHAXXXFTW There's a remake of this and ICO coming to PS3 sometime around the holiday season.

  • a japanese masterpiece 

  • I get all sweaty whenever I hear the music...

  • I know the large majority of you will be against me - But personally, I can't wait to see this, scene, with this music, in live action on the big screen.

  • 11 colossus voten negative, the other ones didn't watch the video

  • @killzithe I only dislike the quality.

  • @incrowdcynic :O a collosi (or collosus, i'm not good at english :P) talked to me :D

  • So much memories with this game. When the music reach at 2:28, is impossible for me not to get goosebumps because, ironically, this game marked my life. This song was played at Video Games Live 2010 in Brazil and I was there. It's amazing to hear this song live. This game is perfect. The mood, atmosphere, the epic story, the monsters... Everything is awesome. If every game that existed in the world was beautiful and epic like that, wouldn't have so many bad games on "next-gen".

  • only halo could match the majesty of this game.

  • @mulidorerik Your trolling right?

  • 10 dislikes? WHAT THE FUCK!

  • @ATerribleScreenName

    Now it's 11 :(

  • One of the greatest adventure games of all time. The music really sets the mood.

  • 2:27 = GREATNESS

  • now for some littlebigplanet to stop the sobbing..

  • i just love that bridge.

  • i have to complete this game while high

  • Melhor jogo do ps2 e olha que ja joguei todos os God of war mas God of war tb e bom .

    Mas shadow of The colossus e muito foda .

  • This game is stunning in almost every way. Not many other games transport you to another world like this one does.

    If only we saw more projects as brave as this.

  • i remeber i'd leave the game playing this intro again and again music is just perfect...

    btw i would feel vertigo if i ever walk in a bridge like that =S

  • definetly should win an award something similar to "most emotionaly touching game ever"

  • Team Ico has a good reputation of making games that sound horrible on paper but just work great.

  • Oh god.... the music is just out of this world.

  • @00roastedlampost00 No, the game is just out of this world. :)

  • This game has a LOT of story. It's just that the complexities are only hinted at, and usually ignored by the average player.

  • the best game i have ever played.great epic adventure.it giveme the experience i have never witness before.breathtaking locations,great soundtrack,superb enemies and above all originality.simply awesome.

  • I cant wait to play this on PS3 with 720p and 60FPS(over then 15 anyways)

  • i love to play this all over again

  • The best game on earth

  • i love this intro ... and this game is piece of art... ohhh the memories almost 5 years and i still love it

  • They have to remake this game. Have to.

  • @seyallica they MUST!!!!

  • @YuKaiCV Why? Isn't it great already!? They should work on the second instead

  • i love this game :(

  • Poignant and powerful like a crying baby

  • Sony make a remastered version of it on PS3, just like God of War Collection!!

  • Oh man God bless every member of team Ico...This is so awesome...

  • is this game worth buying a ps2 for, i used to own one but it broke. never played this game, and now years after i see this.

    and it makes me want to play this game so bad to see how good it is.

    so, is this game worth it?

  • @yorntje To put it simply, yes. It is worth every penny.

  • @yorntje : definetely. It's the type of game you play for a complete day, isolated from the rest of the world. True piece of art, gave me tchills all the way......not some diluted sequel shit.

  • @yorntje You can get a used ps2 slim very cheap. If you are going to, might as well play any other gems you might have missed. Like ICO, Fear Effect (ps1), Metal Gear Solid 3, etc.

  • this game is a work of art. AN ARTISTIC MASTERPIECE.

  • This game has touched my soul.. The music is like no other. so epic, so beautiful..At the end of the game, i really felt like crying....This story has explained me about true love.. How far you can go to save your love......Incredible experience....

  • This is a beautiful game. just like ICO. I adore the art style of these games.

  • can i play this game in a sony bravia 52 inch and see the game with good quality not too wide or pixeled???

  • One of the best games I've played in my life...Shadow of the Colossus attained a upper level on gaming story

  • Agreed.

  • man when i first saw this game, i wanted it so badly, but i only had an xbox xD. i mean, i played some awesome games on xbox too, but i hated missing out on an entire segment of the market.

    which is why this time around i got both 360 and ps3 :P - lookin forward to the Last Guardian

  • I'm getting a PS2 again just for games like this. To re-live the old times, ya know :)

  • lol i got an alienware laptop so i downloaded pcsx2 and shoved my shadow of the colossus ps2 disc into the drive.

    works totally fine and i can relive this game in HD!

    soooo fun :D so happy! the frames are better the images are sharper i loves it!

  • @opmk1ll3r it runs way too fast herwe..... =9

    130 fps makes it 2x faster and impossible to play

  • yeh i noticed haah :P

  • Is it possible to find this song and download it from Limewire? I love the game and its music.

  • they should make a sequel

  • THE BEST EPIC GAME EVer!!! i loveªª yeah

  • best intro ever!!! pure art!

  • excellent game. my second favorite game on the ps2 and one of my favorite games of all time.

  • Es uno de los pocos juegos que puede presumir de tener una música excelente.

  • Comment removed

  • best game ever! yeah it is!!!

    it shakes my heart, damn

  • what is this game about? I mean the story.

  • @LaddieGalicia

    you play the role of a young warrior who has brought his fallen love to a faraway temple in the hopes of restoring her to health.According to a mysterious presence that dwells within the sanctuary walls, the only way to save this girl is to hunt down and destroy the 16 colossal beasts that roam the varied lands surrounding the temple.

  • They did and it came out before Shadow of the Colossus. It's called Ico.

  • 'nuf said XD

  • this is the best game i ever played.

  • I never thought games could truly be art, but Shadow of the Colossus proved me wrong.

    This game is like no other. I dont think I'll be able to find another game that made me feel the way I did while playing SOTC. The music is absolutely beautiful.

  • @TheDarknesslover Indeed! The soundtrac fits the game perfectly! One of the few games that I've played and really feel like being part of the history...Masterpiece!

  • @TheDarknesslover

    try out the Silent Hill series.

  • @TheDarknesslover Try out The Void

  • @TheDarknesslover But over all other suggestions, try Cryostasis

  • @TheDarknesslover

    Yeah Shadow of the colossus is one of the best game i have ever played in my life.

    But for me Silent Hill 2 is The Best Game Ever !

    This is my top 5 PS2 Games of all time.

    1. Metal Gear Solid 3 Subsistence

    2. Silent Hill 2

    3. Mafia 1

    4. Shadow of the Colossus

    5. God of War 2

  • @TheDarknesslover Ico and The Last Guardian may change for they are made from the same people who made SOTC.

    oh, and Ico is a prequel to this game by the way.

  • @PainNPower actually this game is a prequel to ico...

  • @PainNPower yeah theres a debate on whether or not this is the prequel or not, because at the end Wander ends up as a child with horns.

  • @TheDarknesslover Maybe the last guardian game will have the same effect.

    I hope n.n

    ICO and SOTC are pure art, just amaizing. and am sure that The Last Guardian will be the same n.n

  • @TheDarknesslover try the legend of zelda (the ocarina of time) ^^

  • @TheDarknesslover 5 words for you.

    the last guardian and ico.

  • @TheDarknesslover Tell it to Roger Ebert, please.

  • @TheDarknesslover There's another: Ico

  • this game hit the pinnacle, can't wait till The last guardian.

  • I've to finish it.  *___*

  • I love this game.

    The only drawback according to me is that there are no other people that you could interact with. That would be great.

  • Shadow of the Colossus " LIKE NO OTHER GAMES "

  • This game is absolutely epic. The intro music still makes my spine tingle and makes me shiver. I don't know if I'll ever play a game that will have such an effect on me or if another game will be this astounding of a work of art. I love this game to this day and always will

  • yeah epic monsters rules xD

  • Cant wait for last guardian, it'll be hard to top this though

  • always felt really bad killing the callosi -- they seem like big friendly creatures--

    need some reason to hate them -

    eg tyranical rulers etc

  • they are the guardians of the world,if they be killed,the world will be in danger,not because will not have someone to defend and yes because they are a seal

  • Holy shit this game is awesome.

  • Someone earlier said it perfectly: this game is a masterpiece.

  • Shadow of the Colossus and ICO

    Both game will be remasted on PS3 Like God of War 1-2 in 720p

    They working on it now...... Cant wait for it

  • Hm - I think I finally have a valid reason to buy a PS3 if what you're saying is true...!!

  • Looks like I'll be purchasing a PS3.

  • i cant believe i missed out on this game, i sold my PS2 to get money for my PS3 aahhhh il have to get a new one, this game and Area 51

  • This game shows you dont need AMAZING STUPENDOUS graphics to have the best video game in the world. This video game is beautiful. So beautiful.

  • love the music

  • You people have no idea how this game could be more completed if they had the time. eastern section...climbable shrine...so many things ;/

  • actually you can climb to the top of the shrine, you just have to go to the back part of the shrine, then find some ivy and then start climbing.. but you'll only make it to the top if you have a lot of strength =(

    Just an advise =)

  • No I meant the very top of the shrine, not the secret garden.

  • oh.. my bad then

  • good work japan...^^

  • This game defies all logic.

    The lead character is puny, he has a small sword that he barely knows how to wield, the best character is an animal with no dialogue, half the game is spent looking for the enemies, the story has barely enough story for it to be called a story, and the ending makes you wanna smash the pad in despair.

    How is it possible that this combination had me close to tears . . . twice!?
