Shadow of the Colossus Preview

Posted by Zonk on Saturday April 30, 2005 @10:41PM from the more-love-for-your-ps2 dept.

Shadow of the Colossus, the spiritual sequel to the incomparable Ico, is being previewed on Gamespot this weekend. From the article: "Shadow of the Colossus' story features the same timeless fairy-tale quality as ICO, albeit with a more mature theme. The story here is essentially one of love. You're cast as a nameless hero on a quest to save a loved one, and your journey will take you to an ancient temple where you discover the power to save your love's spirit. However, in order to unlock this power, you must obtain the essence of 16 colossi, mountainous gargantuan beasts that roam the land. How can a man who's about the size of an ant next to these beasts do such a thing armed with only a sword and a bow and arrow? That's for you to find out."

Bear in mind Gamespot was playing an early demo where they only got up to the first boss, so who knows what the rest of the game will be like? Also, if I'm not mistaken, they did mention that there was a bit of travelling involved in getting to the first boss, so it won't be just boss fight after boss fight. At least I hope not :-)
