Comment Don't buy this game. (Score 1) 176
Let me start by saying I am a HUGE fan of Ico. (It is the ONLY game so far that I flat out REFUSE to sell back to the used game store) So you could imagine my excitement about Shadow of the Colossus. Well, let me tell ya, it only took an hour of play time before I bolted out of my house with the game and traded this dud back at the used game store. The sales guy at the used game store wasn't all that surprised. He told me that many others had returned the game saying that it flat out sucked. This was mere days after it was released.
You know, sometimes you hope that something like Ico was made because someone truly cared and took the time to do the right thing. Well, if Shadow of the Colusses is any indication the team who brought you Ico's either been tainted beyond all hope thanks to all the critical hype or the magic of Ico was just a fluke never to be repeated again, at least not by the well meaning but probably clueless individuals who brought it to you.
So definitely don't listen to the critics who adore this so called gem. It's a cubic zerconia at best, not the diamond they're making it out to be. :p
