Playing Shadow Of The Colossus for the first time

[lisalover1]

It took me over half an hour to find the first colossus, and even that was just on an explorational whim. I like the atmosphere, but I hate the feeling of getting nowhere after playing for a long time.

took me I guess 15-20 mins to find him. Although probably half of that time was figuring out how to climb up that mountain leading to him. But I think that's a big part of the game. Feeling lost and and confused and a bit helpless.

Could Shadow be one of the games that "pushed the limits" of the ps2? The game world is huge and now that I've beaten it several times I just explore and I always find something new.

Have you killed the first one yet?

I got the thirty minute demo of Shadow of the Colossus sent to me back when I was all Playstation Underground hardcore and loved the game, but for some reason never went out and bought a copy.

I'm probably going to forgo getting the PS2 version unless I notice it for real cheap and snatch up that Ico/Shadow of Colossus PS3 box later this year. I was never able to get further than the first Colossus in my demo and really want to know what I'm missing.

Noise, your sword lights the way, A prod to my Team Ico signature link.

oh man I just made it all the way up to the top of the first one's head. I pulled my sword back to make a might strike... and lost my grip. At least now I know what I'm doing.

Certainly did artistically, I feel like SOTC is a great example of being "cinematic" without endless cutscenes, CGI and tons of unnecessary dialogue

I love Team Ico, they LIVE outside the box

update: First Colussus is dead.

2nd Colossus is dead.

I'm really going to stick to the "no guide" thing because it's making the game so much better. It took me a WHILE to figure out what to do with the second one, but it just made me feel so triumphant when I watched him go down.
