About this product

Product Information

Delve into the depths of a fantasy-themed, puzzle, and action-adventure video game designed by the creators of the popular and critically acclaimed cult hit Ico. Shadow of the Colossus for the PlayStation 2 opens a portal into a world filled with color and creative solutions that are woven into backdrops of magic and vivid environments. Rescue the sleeping princess, named Mono, from suspended animation in a race to defeat 16 Colossi, enormous enemies that can be defeated through exploration. Discover its weak points to overcome the enemy and move onto the next platform. This video game offers an unusual fantasy and engaging action adventure with high-definition graphics and an engaging story.Since its release date in 2006, Shadow of the Colossus has been a notable game on the PlayStation 2 system. You play as Wander, and your mission is to rescue Mono and save her. Armed with only a sword and a bow and arrow, you set out on a great trek across vast stretches of wilderness, your horse Agro your only companion. You will find no villages or towns on your quest, and you will meet few creatures save each Colossus. This makes the gameplay unusual since interacting with other characters is rare. The only things you can rely upon are Agro and your own ingenuity to discover each Colossus's weakness. There is much more to the story than this, but the true reward for playing a game such as this is to discover the story firsthand. Shadow of the Colossus for the PlayStation was a unique game when it was created because it eschewed many of the elements typical of video games. It also contained elements of many different genres. A large part of the game simply involves spanning the vast expanses of wilderness the game has to offer. Your horse is an essential part of this due to the fact that he makes it possible to scale great distances quickly. In addition, Agro is also essential to combat some of the Colossi. If you do not learn how to master Agro, it makes completing the game much more difficult.In addition to the striking geography, Shadow of the Colossus features an innovative combat system. To defeat many of the enemies, you will have to climb them and resist their attempts to throw you down. Only by climbing them can you reach their weak spot. Some enemies can only be survived with the aid of your horse while others must be defeated at a distance. Since every Colossus must be handled differently, innovation and creative thinking are necessary to win.Shadow of the Colossus was a Sony exclusive and is available for the PS2. The game is also available for digital download on the PlayStation 3. Due to its massive success and popularity, the game was released as Shadow of the Colossus: Greatest Hits. Accompanied by an amazing soundtrack, you'll be thoroughly immersed in the storyline and enjoy the emotional journey the hero makes in Shadow of the Colossus for PlayStation.

    Awsome game.

    I was checking it out this game and decided to buy it. When it came in i could'nt wait to try it. At first its a little hard but once i got the button figure it out it was easy. The game wont save progress untill you kill the first colossus, but its fun trying though lol. Glad i pick this up for my ps2. And for the price i got it for well worth it. Thank you.

    The game works and has the cover art, which is good. However, it is missing the manual, and the case has NBA & Blockbuster stickers on it and smells weird. I have swapped out the case for a different case, and intend on purchasing a manual for the game to make it more complete in the future.

  • Unique Puzzle Game with an Awesome Story

    Shadow of the Colossus is an extraordinary video game in both concept and execution. The story, though somewhat abstract for most of the game (a good thing, in my opinion), is simple and marvelous, while the graphics for the environment and colossi are breath-taking, especially once you consider that it was released in 2005. The music is also amazing; it perfectly fits the game's environment, and it strongly accentuates the many feelings and thoughts you will have while playing. I have never played a video game quite like SotC, but that only makes it an even greater experience! (It is a little bit short, however, if you're a quick learner, but don't let that deter you; it's still brilliant in every way!)

  • Super graphics, compelling play!

    The graphics in this game are way ahead of the time it was made. The mountains, valleys, and lakes look so real. The battles are not easy, but make you feel great when you win them! I would recommend this game to any RPG player.

  • I thought it was a really great PS2 classic for the ages.

    It was a masterpiece! The graphics, music, setting, and gameplay were far ahead of its time. This game felt like an adventure going through different landscape to defeat unique bosses, whom you never knew what they'd give you next. Shadow of the Colossus was pretty hard at times, but it only made it that much more enjoyable. It's an easy 10 out of 10 in my opinion.
