A priceless souvenir for any real gamer
1 of 1 found this helpful Shadow of the Colossus has without a doubt been an exemplar in the video game industry over the past decade, in terms of its unparalleled gameplay innovation, astonishing overall quality and its depiction of art.
This PS2 original is even the most cherished item in my opinion, among the game's several iterations as there have been both re-releases for PS3 and PS4. Some may argue that Bluepoint has done a job so marvelous that no one would go back to play the PS2 original, of which the first half of the statement I do fully agree with, but with the second half. Certainly the remake brought by Bluepoint is a masterpiece in its own right, well established upon what made the original a classic, but betwixt the splendors, many parts still shine brighter in the PS2 original simply because of its gorgeous use of art, specifically the camera language, the structuring of any given image, and the colour tones among other things that are expressed strongly and make it unique.
I really feel glad that I can still get a brand new and factory-sealed copy of the UK Collector's Edition for this game in year 2018, in a perfect condition. Opening the seal of this item 12 years after it was made is a special sensation to me.
In the DVD-ROM there are even a couple of art drawings in the 'Gallery' and a Making of Movie along with an Ico Trailer. The tangible items include a user manual and 4 art cards, which are not much but the package was done so beautifully, making this version easily the best version you want to have in your collection.
