Shadow of the Colossus Demo

[Chrono]

I've been gone for about a month due to internet complications, but I just received in the mail the October issue of OPM, which has a demo and full review.

I'll I have to say is WOW...the game's visuals are quite impressive to say the least. It has some of the best lighting effects I have seen in a game. The animations are top notch just like Ico, very fluid and life like. Battling the colossus is incredible. You really get a sense of scale from climbing the colossus to exploring the world.

OPM gave it a 4.5 out of 5. They said it was a fantastic game and that it just won’t appeal to everyone's taste. If you loved Ico, you'll like this. Can't wait until September 20th

If you can find the issue of Play with Shadow on the cover check it out. They do a great preview that focuses on the esthtics and the emotional center of the game.

I played the demo... Miyazaki much?

The game's world is astounding. The graphics, magnificent. The control is as fluid as Ico's and the sound design is spot-on. And the Colossus... jeez.

Why do I feel so bad about conquering such a tremendous foe? I have a feeling, by game's end, I will be filled with remorse, my hands covered with the blood of magic creatures, for having committed such a selfish act as reviving my dead lover. A terrible Mononoke-esque price will be paid.

****, this is gonna be good.

The new issue of OPM isn't anywhere to be found here so I got PSM which had a video on it at least. It showed the first three colossi. The knight one is huge! GAH! It's hammer can hit you from like half a mile away! Unbelivable.

Re: Shadow of the Colossus: Review and Demo!

My only issue with the demo is the camera. It can move to some awkward positions, like when riding on the horse.

I wonder if the game will feature puzzles like Ico. As the game stands right now, it consists of killing colossi, exploring, repeat. Eh, oh well.

This information makes my heart heavy.
