Shadow of the Colossus- Ozar Midrashim Seeing as Ive had nothing to do this week, I thought Id do another music video tribute, as well as (More) Seeing as Ive had nothing to do this week, I thought Id do another music video tribute, as well as crack on with the FF8 dub. Not exactly an ancient game, this, but still great. Plus I cant find anywhere to download clips from other nostalgic games- Help!
Shadow of the colossus was the 2005 spiritual sequel/prequel to Team Icos previous effort, Ico (Which Ive never played but its supposed to be brilliant). The story begins with a young warrior, Wander, making a plea to a mysterious entity, Dormin, to resurrect his lost love, Mono, who was apparently sacrificed. Dormin decrees that he will only save her if Wander kills sixteen huge beasts which roam the land, the colossi. As Wander rides around the land on his horse, Agro, he encounters these beasts one by one, and upon defeating them, is engulfed by darkness, and wakes up in the temple, with the location of the next colossus. Every time Wander absorbs the essence of each beast, his condition steadily deteriorates, visibly decaying until he almost becomes a walking corpse. Eventually, it is revealed that long ago, the evil entity Dormin was divided into sixteen pieces, which in turn became creatures in their own right, the colossi. The colossi were then sealed in the forbidden land and forgotten. Each time Wander kills one, he is absorbing a part of Dormin. In the end, a group of warriors arrive just as Wander has absorbed the final piece of Dormins soul, and Wander is slaughtered for trespassing upon the land and using the forbidden spell. Upon Wanders death, Dormin uses his body to return to the earth. Fortunately, his massive size is a hindrance to his movement in the Temple, and the warriors are able to escape. The priest casts a spell to destroy Dormin entirely, using Wanders sword to create a portal which sucks Dormin and Wander in. After the warriors escape and seal off the forbidden land by destroying the bridge, Dormins bargain is made and Mono is resurrected. She wanders over with Agro to where the portal was and finds a horned infant, which is actually Wander reincarnated (as he became more infused with Dormins soul, Wander began sprouting small horns). Mono, Agro and the infant Wander climb to the top of the temple, and find a secret garden where they can live in peace, and Wander can lead a pure life.
As well as being refreshingly original, Shadow of the Colossus was also hugely replayable and wonderfully executed all round. Each colossus was a living puzzle, climbing the huge beast and exposing their weak spots. The free roaming nature of the game is the most atmospheric Ive ever seen. The colossi were varied and very well designed, to the point that most if not all showed a moment of frailty or pain before dying, sometimes even evoking guilt. If I was to complain about something, it would be that the PS2 framerate sometimes actually hinders gameplay (although rarely) and for such a long game, the ending is not very satisfying. The music is very good too. Try it, if you havent already.
BTW: To fans of the game; Ive been to the secret garden in the game, theres nothing there. Dont make my mistake and waste valuable time from your life getting there.
