[<RJMC>]

what scores they give to others games? I hope is not like ign that give a lto to almost anything

[Icarusintel]

just what I expected from the geniuses that made Ico, which is one of the greatest games ever made

I dont know how about 1UP.com.
I mean they gave 9.5 to the new BIA game as well and thats nothing new.

[VictimOfScience]

Very nice to see, but I had little doubt they would fail to deliver a seriously great product. Ico has finally gotten the attention that it deserves and I hope that people really open their minds up to this one. I know I will definitely open my wallet up :).

agh too many games, so little cash, might rent this one, i definately haveto play it anyway, looks so good, gota get fear and the movies too though, eek need cash.....

This is virtual reality, this is the great escape, this is a game that takes you somewhere you've never been before, Ico or no Ico. It's a game that dares you to exhilarate while hammering you with consequence. In short, Shadow of the Colossus breaks storytelling barriers none of us knew existed. It's the rare game for which the often overused words "ground-breaking" were truly reserved for, and it's enough to make you regret every stupid coin you ever collected. There's more to gaming than rote clichés and borrowed ideas, and Shadow of the Colossus is kind enough to remind us of what could be. You really couldn't ask for better than that. Besides merely being one of gaming's great moments, this is the experience of the year.

excellent!!!!

8.7
Hm, I expected a higher score, given that 1UP praised it. Oh well, looks awesome nonetheless.

I just saw a video review on www.gametrailers.com. This game does look interesting. Very epic. Is it very long? I heard that it takes eight to nine hours but I wasn't sure if the person was talking about the entire game or one colossi.

that's probably the full length, Ico was even shorter, but it didn;t matter, it was the scope, the gameplay, and the feelings that were evoked that made it such an engrossing experience
