Is Shadow of the Colossus worth it?

Buy them all, when you play the game and love it you will make a bed out of those games and sleep in it.

$5 for SotC? Why are you here and not making profit on eBay?

FTFY

How come I never come across deals like this

This store near me had probably around 25 copies of Shadow of the Colossus (PS2) that were still new and sealed for 5$ each. Is the game as good as people say it is? Thanks.

Post a pic to convince me this is real. If you don't know the game is any good, you must have not played many PS2 games.

Ugh, $5 for Shadow of the Colossus? Typical resale ripoff bullshit. I mean, it's a great game and all, but it's worth AT MOST $4.75 for a sealed copy.

Like everyone said, how can you even question $5 for a sealed copy, even used it would be a good price. I think you should be able to take a $5 risk on a game that has gotten nothing but praise since its release, instead of looking for approval from here.

Forget about people saying it's good. People say that about hundreds of games on any given week. It doesn't really mean anything. Shadow of the Colossus is more than good. It's UNIQUE. That's the reason everyone should play it. Even the small number of games that have tried copying it or paying homage to it in some way have not even come close to providing the same experience.

That's why people talk about games like Journey or Rez or Flower. They are unique experiences in an industry that is far too happy to keep recycling the same thing over and over again.

I'll try to get my mom to drive by there on Thursday. They have been there since I think January. I don't own a ps2, though so thats why I don't know that much about it. I forgot to add though that it is the greatest hits version.

We also have to consider that this fella is pretty young. I'm not sure how many of you know him, but his dad has set up a PayPal account and the comment about his mom driving him by the sale leads me to believe that he may not have had much exposure to PS2 in general.

I can remember showing my 2 year old brother my PS2 when I was a teenager and him loving it. He's 16 now.

$5 new and sealed? Go for it.

This game I missed out on, though I knew of it. My friends had given it plenty of acclaim. I played it earlier this year and I must say, it's one of my favorite on PS2. Go back, and buy all of the copies.
