Just completed Shadow Of The Colossus - what a fantastic game
I notice on the disc there is a trailer for ICO - is this a similar game type to Shadow Of The Colossus? Is it worth buying?
Shadow Of The Colossus is excellent Tejstar - I honestly can't recommend it enough. Infact I'm prepared to say it's the best console game I've ever played. I absolutely hate boss fights in games and accordingly, despite the glowing recommends from everyone, this game has sat on my shelf untouched for ages. The only thing that got me to play it was my plans to dispose of my PS2 - but after my first colossus fight I was hooked!Shadow Of The Colossus is the spiritual successor to ICO, although it is not a sequel outright. I've not played it yet, but hope to soon.
ICO is one of my favourite games of all time
I've also had it sitting waiting to be played for ages. I really have to play it sometime soon, especially as it's made by the same team that made ICO.Shadow Of The Colossus is excellent Tejstar - I honestly can't recommend it enough.

The story is slimline until you get to the end - and then all is explained in the final scenes. The colossus fights are great although a few less would have avoided repetition. But certainly it is a great game.
I intend to go ICO hunting later this week.

I was going to start playing it on the PS3 although I started to hear horror stories that the save games would disappear on certain games half way through. That gave me the jitters, so I'm holding off until I connect the PS2 again!
IRC, the game save system allows for 16 saves. 16 clossusi. Shouldn't be a problem as at worst you'll only lose one save/clossusi.
Yeah it's climable. It go on for ages (as in height), and your circle thing needs to be really big for you to get to the top.SOTC is my second favourite PS2 game of all time (behind Pro Evo).
Am I right in thinking the 'chamber' where you start back after every Colossus was somehow climable ???
I'm sure I read it somewhere, and yet spent hours trying, and failing, to do so.
Oh I see!Time is precious - appreciated.
You misunderstand me.
After you have defeated a colossi, it ask you if you want to save it. The save system allows for 16 individual save files - you would be damn unlucky to have each file corrupt on you.
Stop dragging your feet. Load the games up and enjoy in 720p-ness. That's an order!![]()

**** knows mate, I could never make it - my circle thingy wasn't big enough. So I didn't have enough stamina to make it to the top. It's a LONG LONG way up.Ahhh well, it's gone from my collection now.
Just hope I didn't miss anything much ????
Just order it online mate.Well...armed with an intention to buy ICO I travelled 30 miles into Glasgow city centre (by train!) to get it. Unfortunately it seems to have become something of an exclusive collectors item.
Quite big city, bound to have it somewhere I thought. Did itStarted off in Virgin - nothing - neither did the 'other' Virgin store. They didn't have it either, neither did the HMV next door nor the Currys opposite or Woolworths! So I walked all the way to the other end of the shopping zone and tried Game and then Gamestation. Nothing! Argghhh!
Ended up travelling 30 miles back home empty handed and brought from Amazon instead![]()
