Really, really enjoyed this game, it so, so different in scale and scope in the 10+ years I played games, I think I won?t be able to put my Ps2 away. I shot through all the bosses only coming up short on the final 2,
but c15 took a while, I could figure out how to stab his hand even after I had made him drop his sword, never thought about hairy palms ><; still it was easy compared to c16, I could easily get to his right hand but could figure out what to do next, only after I got annoyed after 40 mins of try I stab the hand and to my surprise he reacted to it setting me up for the shoulder, which took me a while to remember i had a bow and then it was simple matter for shooting the shoulder and then scale it head for the win.
After my first failed attempts at c16 I went of wandering around for these lizards and fruit, which had not noticed at all, but I did an adventure trip around the bottom left of the map, finding a path down to the beach, nothing down there sadly but I ended up jump in to the waves and to my surprise he reacts to them, bracing for the wave and then if it to much for him push him back into a roll.
Heading back up the path and past the sand cave boss I ended up on some planes dotted with pond, I only got off agro after spotting some new wild life, a couple of turtles (at a go and eating them but the kept curling up) and then saw some movement in the water, to my surprise there was 5-6 huge fish in there, sadly I could hunt them the bow wouldn?t penetrate the water and you can?t swing a sword in the water but did manage to surf one after it surfaced and ended up standing on it.
I would have like a few more platforming bits to the game that offered nothing but the thrill of the climb and kickass view, so far I?ve only found few, one being in the a forest north west of the Tower, there nice bit with a lake below which I thought was inaccessible with a tree over hanging the cliff with fruit on it, which would fall below if shot, I looked around and found a moss ?ladder? to use to get down, and to my surprise the lake was just a couple of feet high swamp, lovely little find.
Liked the ending to, had that grim fairly tail ending. I had feeling that killing the Colossus was wrong, especially after the second ?cow? colossus, it just looked so harmless, but I soon forgot that during the fight after the great music kicks in after you climb up on top of it, and it son back after felling the great beast.
And that feeling certainly came true, the colossus we?re trying to stop me releasing the dormin full power and wander?s selfishness ignored the glaring evil spewing from the dead colossus, took me a while to spot wander?s change in looks to. Seems obvious this is a prequel to Ico, as this seem?s to the start of the Cursed Children (horned kids), that will someday hundreds of year?s from SofC be used by the Queen to make Dormin, and while Wander won?t atone for his sin?s in his life time, we all know Ico atones for his Ancestor?s sins. I hope they make another different game that links the time period between SofC and Ico, the story is to interesting to leave alone.

I guess it will make the next play through on Hard even more fun though...
