SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS PS2 GAMESPOT MOVIE

In order to revive Mono, Wander has to defeat the 16 colossi with his only ally, a horse named Agro, scattered all around the Forbidden Land which the colossi can only be defeated by a magical sword that Wander has with him. Dormin says he can revive her but the costs of reviving her may be too much but Wander accepts the causes. In Shadow of the Colossus, you control Wander, a man who enters a place which is known as the Forbidden Land and comes to a spirit known as Dormin who he believes can resurrect his dead friend known as Mono. Find out how Shadow of the Colossus managed to pull it all off in this review. That doesn't mean the game is bad though. The game is different because they are no towns, other characters, or enemies besides the giant colossi to interact with. Instead of going through puzzles and dungeons, the whole game is just you, the protagonist who's name is just known as Wander, defeating giant bosses or colossi.

SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS PS2 GAMESPOT MOVIE

When a game's difficulty stems not from player's skills and knowledge but the gameplay design and fundamental controls, you might as well go watch a movie instead because at least you don't have to deal with poorly thought out mechanics and infuriating engine physics.Shadow of the Colossus is a game rather different from others. The game's shallow mechanics is stretched by constant downtime and cryptic puzzle solving, with often terrible RNG in the AI's pattern that further extends the frustration and time wasting, making a supposedly one hour game into a six hour mind-numbing journey that by the end, one would wish that it could end sooner. These things instantly pulls the player out of the immersion and makes one realize that the game is nothing more than a poorly aged PS2 game that uses outdated controls as its core gameplay. All of these makes the game well deserve to be the PlayStation classic is it until you find that the horse AI is programmed by a monkey, your character starts randomly floats in the opposite direction of your analog stick, grabs edges that you never intent to reach, starts falling off the edge every three seconds, takes over ten seconds to get up from a knockdown, or the camera always just snaps to whichever is the most inconvenient angle for the moment. The music is grand and epic when battling the colossi, and the sense of scale given to the player makes one really experiences the vast unit the enemies truly are compared to what puny power the character possess in order to overcome these extreme behemoth of monsters. The game's biggest strength is immersion, which BluePoint has certainly done an absolute brilliant job in capturing the desolate yet beautiful world of SOTC.

Terrible controls and mechanics are the hardest to explain in words, but this game, without a doubt, has the worst control of any game I've ever played. If you are like me and had no idea what the game was about and was drawn to the cool design and concept of the game, please stop right there and stay far away from this game. In Shadow of the Controls, you fight the programmers' poor coding for control of the most pathetic protagonist and the game engine's ungodly physics that takes platforming to an unprecedented un-realism. In No amount of graphics, story, character design, music and world building can excuse the awful controls and physics this game presents. No amount of graphics, story, character design, music and world building can excuse the awful controls and physics this game presents. A masterpiece has been made even better i can't wait to see what bluepoint games does next. ID even go as far to say this surpasses the original and is one of if not the best game remakes ever created. Bluepoint games did a phenomenal job of remaking this classic. No new colosi or extra story but Everything else however has been improved to the MAX. The story has been left untouched retaining the same emotional journey the original offered. It's also butter smooth hardly ever dropping frames even when giant colossi are thrashing about. With detailed texture work and lighting this game looks absolutely gorgeous. The colosi and environments have been overloaded with amazing detail and the world feels very alive despite the quieting emptiness of it. I couldn't be happier that this remake happened.The graphics, sound, everything has been remade running on a brand new game engine entirely. I've played it on ps2, loved the remaster and now im able to play the remake of one the best action titles ever created. I've played it on ps2, loved the A masterpiece reborn Ever since i heard shadow of The colossus was getting a remake i was overjoyed.
