I especially like colossi 13, riding through a desert trying to shoot it down was truly epic.Other games have experimented with the characteristics of the protagonist themselves, suppressing information about the nature or history of the player’s character. The collosi are all equally well designed and can be a real challenge (yes i'm talking to you number 9!) to work out the way to beat them, from small fast bull-like colossi, to big slow humanoid giants, water, land and air based, they truly have all sorts, and all stand out, none seem to have been quickly put together to pad out the numbers. Getting to them is half the battle with a well designed land to work your way through. The basic premise may not immediately excite (there is nothing to do but ride around a huge seemingly empty landscape on your horse, trying to find and kill the 16 collosi) but it is one of the best adventures you will ever have with a joypad. It is still an amazing game and easily holds up to any current gen game. Me and my younger brothers used to absolutely love this game so i bought it for the nostalgia factor. It does what a game is supposed to do well which is to entertain. It has a decent plot twist at the end and makes you want to play it all over again. Easily one of the best Playstation 2 games out and a high ranker for best games of all time. The game rewards you with satisfaction as taking down the monsters and has high replay value. It's a simple story but complex game and how many games are like that? You don't gain any mandatory upgrades thus forcing you to rely on your own skills to tkae down the beasts. Trust me when I say I spent 11 hours straight, that is how immersive this game is. The Colossi are, as the name implies, colossal beings which each having a unique shape, size and tactic necessary in order to defeat them. The game features you, a dashing young warrior named 'Wander' with your horse named 'Agro' and you're tasked to defeat 16 Colossus in order to resurrect your love whom had perished before the game started. This game is possibly the best Playstation 2 game and has aged tremedously well. If you're reading this review to see whether or not this game is any good I'll put it simple. This game really is excellent and most people especially those who have played ICO will love this game. And once your finished hard mode you unlock HARD time attack mode. The colossi do more damage to you, are harder to kill and aswell as that most of them have extra major weakpoints that you have to get to and stab. ![]() However the battle graphics and especially the fur on the colossi is excellent.Īnyway every time you beat two colossi in TA mode you get an item from different arrows to an invisibility cloak. Everything looks blurry until you are fairly close. I don't like the searching bit as the landscape graphics IMO are not great. You don't have to find them again you start from when you first see the colossus. Time attack mode generally gives you 4-6 minutes to kill a colossus. I won't ruin anything else but just to tell you that once you finish the game make sure you save it as you unlock both time attack mode and hard mode. Don't worry though if you stay still you regain your strength. This is a colourful circle which gets smaller as your strength runs out. The main concern when killing the colossus is the grab/stamina/breath meter. Minor ones are places you stab to make the creature do something whether it's falling to their knees or trying to grab you with their hand. Major weakpoints are ones you must stab to kill the colossus. ![]() Basically each colossus has weak points both major and minor. The sword, when the sun is out points in the direction of the next colossus. Look around for guides on the web to find them. Control of the horse is fairly good though there are some undocumented controls that you'll need. The story does not hold your hand and leaves much to the imagination which I like. This creates enough change to keep most people's interest. Although the game is repetitive, as the review below says each colossus requires a different method to kill it. This game in my opinion is easily one of the best game for the PS2.
