Has anyone played this game? I just bought it because of word of mouth- turns out it was a good buy. Totally 3-dimensional immersive, huge landscapes, ridiculous battle sequences... all in all, I like it quite a bit. I could go into more detail, but to describe the game completely would take forever... just trust me, it's good.

I don't know how popular it is though- it's a relatively new game, but if I hadn't heard about it from one of my friends, I never would have gotten it. In any case, I recommend it to anyone who has a PS2.


Thou, because I am wroth, be not dismayed, for I shall win the strife, whoever circle round within for the defence. This their insolence is not new, for of old they used it at a less secret gate, which still is found without a bolt. Above it thou didst see the dead inscription; and already on this side of it
descends the steep, passing without escort through the circles,
One such that by him the city shall be opened to us.

I haven't had a chance to play it yet, but it's won a couple of awards. This is the one where you have to fell Colossuses (Colossii?) with an army of little guys, right?

Not an army of little guys- just one little guy. I'd say the most impressive thing about the game is the feeling of isolation you get from playing in this vast world. The colossi (I think that's right) totally dwarf you as the main character, and the surrounding world is absolutely nuts as far as scope and grahpics go. Battling isn't just mindless attacking either, you have to think your way through fighting the colossi, which I like.

Again though, the one thing I take from this game is the fact that you actually feel lonely while you're playing. Definitely worth the awards it's won.
