Shadow of the Colossus

[SpiralArchitect]

As crazy as the idea of just doing 16 boss battles one after the other sounds, Shadow of the Colossus made it work and that too in style. Each of the colossi can fill any list of best boss battles and the game's ending, after you're done struggling with colossus number 16, is one of the best ever.

Anyone who has played the game and didn't like it is probably just weird. So, I'll just ask about your favorite battles in the game. Was it colossus number 15 Argus or number 7 Hydrus or something else altogether?

I have heard a lot of good things about that game. I have never had any chance to play it myself though. I probably will never play it since they have stopped selling PS2 now. Let's see if I can play it on my PC through a good emulator.

Hmm, good thread but I'm pretty sure that this is similar to a thread that i have opened before: http://ps4forum.com/9-playstation-legacy/615-best-boss-fights-ps2.html

Anyways, the best boss battle for me was the one where I battled the Trail Drifter Phalanx. I've posted a video of it in the thread above. It's quite a cool boss battle where you try to shoot it down in order to climb to its back and stab the hell out of it.

Still a little sad of how much content was cut during production. I would have preferred for them to wait for the PS3 and just have 24 bosses. Hell, make it 16 bosses and then 4+ extra for people who want more.

Still, it's hard not to choose the eagle or the giant flying sandworm, only the idea of being able to hold unto them while they move in the sky was too crazy back in the day!

The thread is only for Shadow of Colossus. Admittedly, the SOTC discussion in thread inspired me to make one specifically for this game. That one was for greatest boss fights, this one is for SOTC. Just a coincidence that some of the greatest boss fights happen to be in Shadow of the Colossus.

Shadow of the Colossus is one of the best games ever. I can't wait for its spiritual successor.

I chose the giant flying sand worm over the giant eagle/stingray because of the location. The place where you battle the sand worm is wider than the place where you fight the giant eagle. It leaves you more room to navigate and makes it all the more enjoyable.
