GAME: Shadow Of The Colossus

Shadow Of The Colossus is about Wander, who's trying to resurrect Mono... because she's dead? This game is so mysterious I don't know what to say.

The Gameplay. The graphics are probably up there with Metal Gear Solid 3 as the best for the PS2, but that being said, graphics don't make a game good. There's little to kill the Colossi with, you've got a sword to stab them with, and an arrow to distract them with. The fights with the colossi are fast and great for the first while, but after about 5 fights are so they really get boring. There isn't much to say about the controls, the camera is annoying to move at times, but that's about it.

Story/Characters. Yeah, there isn't much story too it. Wander barely talks because there's almost no one to interact with, so it doesn't make me like him. The story is pretty straight forward and nothing special.

Music. The music is great, beautiful orchestrated music, which is very relaxing.

Overall: 6/10
Pros: Fighting colossi is really fun the first couple of fights, amazing graphics, soothing music

Cons: No backstory, characters are hard to like when there's little known about them, the fights get boring after a while, travelling from colossi is very boring
