Playing Shadow of the Colossus for the first time

My gf brought it home for me to play. I knew Ico and all, but never had a ps2 till I moved with her, so, here I am. I havent read a spoiler about it yet, so I dont even know whats is it about.

It's a good game, you just have to be patient with the controls and frame rate at times.

Make sure to crank up the sound and enjoy. It is a great thrill ride to be sure! Just be sure to take it in a natural pace. Don't try to rush it, just let it sink in like a good tea.

First colossus beaten down. Yeah, the controls are quite weird. Im astonished with the sights, tho! And I dont know if its part of the game, but I felt bad for the colossus. I mean, he wasnt even trying to kill me

Re: Playing Shadow of the Colossus for the first time
I'm actually about half way through the game right now. Honestly it could use a bit more variety. The 2nd four colossi were pretty much the same as the first four. If they don't get more creative for the last 8 colossi I'm going to be disappointed.
Also, I spend about as much time trying to get to the colossi as I do actually fighting them. And when fighting them, I spend more time trying to figure out their weakness than actually engaged in combat. Once you figure out the trick, they're really easy to take out.
So far I feel about SoC like I did about ICO. Really interesting experience, but kind of a weak game.
