Title: Shadow of the Colossus is fun, but...
Post by: Beezy on May 16, 2007, 12:55:10 AM
Is it really this short? I heard that there are 16 colossi in the game. I've only played for three hours so far and I've already killed six of them. Am I really gonna be done in like 4 more hours? :(

Explore and get fruit/lizard tails.

A play through is short, but Shadow has something that many people seem to exist these days: replayability. Time attack hard mode ftw.

It's not shit and I got it for only like $16. There's no point in selling it.

You see fruit in trees at oasis locations around the world. They're in the trees. You eat them to increase your health bar. Hunt for lizards with white tails. Kill them, and eat the tails they drop to increase you grip meter.

I imagine the game would just get damn annoying with lack of grip.

*shrugs* I've been doing fine without them so far. I'm not gonna go looking for them now, but I'll get them if I see them.

Some bitch on GAF said that he would buy a PS3 when a Team Ico game comes out for it. What a fucking loser

The game is good, but not a system seller.

Well they're certainly a good developer and I want to see what they come up with next.

SOTC with next gen graphics would be an instant PS3 purchase again for me.

Oh shit, that actually helps your grip? The game pissed me off cause I kept falling off. I thought the distinguished mentally-challenged broken controls were part of it's 'artisticness' or something. :lol

A cool game that could've been better...but I'll admit I fell in love with the concept and the game as a whole.

the overworld was so boring and the last boss still makes me angry thinking about it.

The last boss was sort of a "Star Ocean III 3/4th of the way through" moment for me. I loved the game but the end boss was pretty corny.
