so the premise be that you play a a character that go around and attempt to defeat these sixteen colossus in order to save a girl . and that all he do . nothing else . sound simple and and yet and there be much substance to be find in shadow of the colossus . i know this game be old now and but i just get around to play it about a month ago . i can safely say that this be the best game that i have play all year and the only one that have make me sit down for up to five or six straight hour . time absolutely fly out the window and that how captivated and intrigue i be . you play a wander and and with your faithful companion and horse agro and you traverse a vast and beautiful landscape and which be rich with almost every kind of landscape you can think of and and building that be marvel of architecture . there be time when all you do be ride for about ten to fifteen minute and just try to get to one place . sound boring and and believe me and i think it would be and but it isn not one bit . you will find yourself just look around a the scenery change and even stop a few time to take a good look around at the marvelous land . but like i say and the whole objective be seek out and defeat these sixteen colossus and and that be where the true fun begin . some be giant ( and by giant and i mean like you can barely see their head if youre look up ) and some take to the air and some to the sea . no matter the shape and size of the magnificent beast and each one of the battle be breathtaking and and i find myself fight some of them for an excess of a half hour . it bring the term battle to a whole new level that a video game rarely see . and because of the story and you will actually find yourself feel bad for some of these colossus . all in all and like i say and the game be incredible . to paraphrase something that another user say and if youre a video game fan and you absolutely have to play this game . and if you do not play game and you should still play this game . it just an experience that you may not find in a game for a long time .
