Shadow of the Colossus

[Sonnarkku]

Well, yeah, it was getting about time for another specific game in these forums, so let me introduce for the ones that don´t know:

Shadow of the Colossus is a game wich is suppoused to be the prequel to ¨ICO¨ wich is a game that had been released a while ago but let´s not get into it, the story is based on a guy who had his girlfriend/wife sacrificed suppousedly because she was cursed, he could not stand that so he stole a sacred sword and passed the forbidden land with his horse to have his love revived, sounds unoriginal? here´s where it gets good:

Once he reached the place where suppousedly people could be revived, he hears a voice coming from the Shrine, that voice is Dormin (a demon) who tells him that to revive someone, he must first destroy the 16 idols standing on the walls, but the only way to destroy them was by killing each colossus representing them and so the gameplay starts.

In the game there are no enemies that can harm you, there are only bosses wich is the original concept I like from the game, in order to clear the game, you have to raise your sword in light and go to where light is redirected, there you will see an opening cutsene and fight agaist a colossus, to defeat it, it´s vitals must be found and stabbed, the game gets epic as you go but the ending was crap.

Thread starts in 3... 2... 1... NOW.

Yea i heard of the game and the Concept is brillant in my Opinion, too bad there aren't as many games like it.
