Literally unforgivable. This is a ridiculous score.

8/10 is not a bad score at all, nor is it ridiculous. Every game doesn't need a 9 or 10 to be good.

Not to mention the game is nearly 10 years old. For its time it was a 9-10 game, nearly 10 years later with no actual gameplay changes or control tweaks, it's still an 8/10. That's pretty impressive if you ask me.

I dont mind the score! I played the originals and still own SoC. I know they are better games than what GT scores them.
But the same hideous trend continues with GT reviews in showing massive story spoilers. If a person hasnt played those games, they will know an eventfull thing that will happen by seing this review. Samething with every game GT reviews. Man! I wish I could punch these guys in the face. Why dont they show footage of the game´s first 2 hours and stay there. Its like they are doing it on purpose.

I'm sure the controls have aged, but shouldn't that be expected? They're damn near 10yrs old.

PirateThom4604d ago

I only played the games for the first time about a year ago and, honestly, not even being blinded by nostalgia, the controls hold up perfectly fine.

Technically Shadow of the Colossus is a PS2 remaster on PS3 but it is interesting seeing the progress made with emulation.

Favourite Video Game Boss Fights

Favourite video game boss fights for me are in The Shadow of the Colossus, very few other games have such good boss fight design.

I'd probably go with Terra's Armor from KH2 FM. The very assence of overpowered superboss, even Sephiroth can't put a finger on him... or rather it.

I thought the Storm King fight in Demon's Souls using the Storm Ruler Sword was effing awesome.
