That game was truely amazing. I just recently sold my PS2 and all of it's games for an Xbox 360, and so far, I'm thinking it wasn't worth it. Shadow of the Collosus was a rare gem of a game. It was incrdibly unique, too. It almost makes me want to repurchase my PS2, but I don't think I will. it's amazing that it pulled off having no random enemies and only a steady stream of 16 boss-fights.
I can still remember the intensity and excitment of riding to the next collosus. The wonder, the excitement, the innovation, the art style, the beauty, that game deserves to be Game of the Year. well, maybe it has tough compitition with Resident Evil 4, but it's at least a runner-up. Resident Evil 4 just improved a stale franchise so perfectly, and made survivor-horror games fun and something to get excited about agian!
