Description
We have a limited number of copies of this super rare game in special packaging and fully shrink wrapped!
The follow-up to the critically acclaimed ICO... As a lone horseback traveller, your destiny is entwined with that of a lifeless young girl who lies on an altar within a vast temple. The girl is helpless, her soul has been lost and there is only one way to retrieve it... Following a voice from the heavens, you embark on a dark and dangerous quest to seek out and slay the enormous wandering monsters that roam this strange world. Only you can defeat these formidable Colossi, and in doing so, only you can bring life to the girl who lies waiting on the altar. Each beast is immense in size and strength, the team's new and unique motion control system giving an incredible depth of motion density. The 'Organic Collision Deformation' system enables the player to grasp and climb the Colossi with precision, stealth is also essential in navigating these ever changing, moving and dangerous terrains. You must climb these terrifying beasts and strike the deathblow that will bring them crashing to the ground. However, slaying such fearsome opponents is no easy task – before these enemies can be toppled, you must first discover how to defeat them. And the challenge does not end there; after you have slain one monster you must begin the demanding task of finding the next... The monsters in Shadow of the Colossus present the game player with one epic terrain but another is the world they inhabit. With only your trusty horse, Agro, for company, you must explore lonely plains, mountains, lush countrysides, sinister lakes, great caves and ancient ruins. Each Colossi is unique, organically reflecting the environment in which they reside. Each one you track down takes you one step closer to discovering your destiny and the fate of the girl who remains motionless and oblivious throughout. An intense journey of exploration, puzzle solving and eerie battle, Shadow of the Colossus also includes the distinct, highly-acclaimed graphic style that came to prominence in ICO, making this an absorbing voyage of discovery with some of the most picturesque landscapes and formidable enemies ever to be seen on PlayStation 2.

"Essential"
A game from the glorious PS2 era that should never be forgotten. A masterpiece of truly epic proportions; you won't believe how epic it feels to climb up each of the 16 hulking colossi to bring them tumbling down. Visually and audibly incredible. This game belongs in any gamers collection, and will be remembered in years to come as a classic.

"Great - but short"
Fantastic game.... although sadly, not as long as you would hope. I clocked it first time around in a little over 8 hours.
Music - amazing Graphics - not super amazing, but suits the atmosphere and story perfectly Story - what can you say? I don't think you'll find it the focus of gameplay Great for people who like to think about what they are fighting, rather than mashing the 'x' button. Would be fun to replay (but how long would it take?) More of a rental for me..... but you could certainly spend more time exploring to fan out the time a bit, I guess?

"Amazing!"
This is one of the best games I have ever played! Even though it is such a short game (took me 7 hrs 30 mins to finish first time, then second time took 3 hrs), the story is awesome, and the gameplay experience is the one of the best ever. All of the colossus are enjoyable to beat. Only problem is that the camera can sometimes get a bit annoying! Other than that, this is a must have PS2 game.

"Yes - stunned too!"
Yes the Colossuses - or in english, 'the colossi' (from the plural latin masculine form of the noun colossus) - are indeed awe-inspiring! Such a magnificent game and a good brain tester too........If your IQ isn't up to it you're gone! If your skills are not up to it you are gone! Great mix - great game. Still, I say hire it. Takes about twelve hours to clock. :)

"Simply stunning!"
Shadow of the Colossus is not just a 'fight the big moving thing' type of game, it goes much deeper than that.
The Wanderer brings a girl to a remote sanctuary with a purpose - to restore her. We know not who she is and we know not why he wants her whole again. Indeed, all we know about him is that he is called the Wanderer. All we do know is that the Wanderer will go to any lengths to have the girl made whole again, even to the extent of giving his own life. That he must find and destroy several Colossi to achieve his goal is revealed to him and the bargain is struck. And thus begins one of the most fascinating games you will play this year. You face the Colossi, each more fearsome than the last, with only your horse - Agro - as your companion and a sword and bow and arrow as your weapons. You must first locate your Colossus, then scale it, find its weak spot and kill it. If it sounds easy, believe me, it's not. Every Colossus is large, angry, cunning, always moving and is trying desperately to fling you off, should you even get passed his huge, stamping feet. Each time you manage to overcome and kill a Colossus something is lost from within and the Wanderer becomes dirty, ragged and more resigned. To what, we do not know. The action of Shadow of the Coloussus is frenzied and brutal, yet the ending is one of the most moving and beautiful I have ever seen.
