Best. PS2. Game. Ever.
Seriously.

I stumbled upon it while looking for Legend of Zelda stuff. I was skimming around until I saw "Twilight Princess and Shadow of the Colossus intro comparison" or something along those lines. The name itself drew me in, since I had never heard of it.
Then I did my homework on it.
Then I eventually bought it.

I have three words to sum up what I think about it...
Oh. My. God.

It's one of the very few games out there that can be considered art (and I refuse to get into the "games as art" argument.) Everything about it is absolutely gorgeous. Design, graphics, plot, music, etc. I swear, it literally took the breath out of me.
Just like ICO did, and it's no wonder. I didn;t even know they were connected.
There is everything to love about those two games. And there is nothing in any other game more thrilling than taking down a Colossus.

Then why do people find it disappointing?
"There aren't any dungeons." "There aren't any other people or towns." "There aren't any other minor enemies to fight off." "All you do is eat lizards and fruit."
That's just being biased and unable to appreciate the fact that this game stands completely on it's own. Nothing can touch it. Nothing can compare to it (other than ICO, that is.)

I just love this game so much. Beat it in a week, and I cried like a baby during the ending. Worse than ICO, and I thought that'd be impossible.
Thank God I was by myself at the time.
After that, I swore that I wouldn't play it again until a long time had passed.
You can guess that I broke that promise.

Also, I asked for no one's permission to use any gameplay. If you don't like that fact, message me and I'll delete the video immediately. I deeply apologize to the people who I stole the gameplay from. Other than that, if it's cool with everyone, I'll dedicate this to the people who have played this game and appreciate it.

Oh, and sorry for the craptastic quality. The game's graphics aren`t very encoder friendly.

That's the Cloak of Deception, in which, you are invisible. He was probably tricking you. Lol :3

You have to beat 14 items in Normal Time Attack, I think.

I've already beaten both time attacks and I have all items. So I should know.. but they're are some things around the Internet that tells you about the items. The Queen's sword, I think should be like the one in Ico, that would be awesome, and it is, though it doesn't have lightning protruding from it, and yeah. Heh.

Lolwhutz. e-e

Well.. I think you're talking about the glitch that can sometimes happen.. but I thought that was only near the first colossus?

I don't know. Lol.

The cloth that Wander wrapped Mono in, is the Cloth of Desperation. Thats all I'm saying.

[xXxFinalFatexXx]

Yeah.. that is the parachute. If you look at the design, its exactly the same.

[xXxFinalFatexXx]

@shadowolf432; You can actually use that large piece of cloth. It is the Cloth Of Desperation, I know, 'cause I have it. You just have to kill 14 Colossi in Hard Time Attack.

[ I know, it's a spoiler for the people who haven't beat that yet, but Hell, it's the Internet, you'll live. ]
