Unique

It is way different than all the games I own and the landscape is beautiful. These behemoths are no easy deal either, each other colossi is different with their own weaknesses. There was one problem I had with my game; one time I saved my game to my memory card and it erased ALL my data. It is probably just my luck.

Collossuss Game!!

You will not find a game that is as well put together as this!!!
The music, graphics, concept is second to none. As a PS3 owner I have recently managed to obtain a copy due to the lack of innovation on Ps3 titles I have been once again been climbing collosi and been loving it can't beat the dream like state this game leaves you in, what next for the Ico world CANNOT WAIT!!! Have seen some footage for the next installment, how authentic is another matter, chk it out G.Vid "Project Trico" want more collossus chk out the film "Reign over me" with Adam Sandler, alot of refernce to the game and in game footage :)

Im suprised none of the other Secret Seekers have reviewed this

This game is a rarity! Usually when you fight a giant monster you must use your rocket launcher and shoot it in the face from 300 yards. This game is so much more complex! It is a giant puzzle, you must not only climb up them and stab them, but you must outsmart them. You are given a bow, a sword, and a horse. That is absolutely all that you get. No special powers or anything. It is one of the finest games ever made. It should not be called a game, it should be called a piece of art!
