  • Shadow of the Colossus is better than The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
    Overall Comparison
    To any who have played these two games and enjoyed them, I applaud you. I find them to be the the greatest games I have ever played. But, there is a need for justification in my selection of Shadow of the Colossus over Morrowind.

    I still play these games whenever I need to escape to my own little world, as they both have very large and engrossing environments. I spent hours hunting down those little lizards with the white tails, but not as much as I spent exploring the wilderness and nearby dungeons looting all I saw.

    "But wait?" you think, "If you spent more time playing Morrowind than Shadow of the Colossus surely you must think Morrwind is the better game?"

    Well that is only because Morrowind had a lot more content to sift through than Shadow of the Colossus did, but the main point here is that my enjoyment of the content of one game was higher.

    The satisfaction of seeing the large beast fall to the ground, after using every plan conceivable to try and bring it down was immense. I don't think any other game could beat it. Even the small things in Shadow of the Colossus were very enjoyable, such as the horse riding and archery. Everything was thought of thoroughly and came together to be one epic game.

    Shadow of the Colossus was a once in a lifetime experience for me. Some of you probably will not enjoy it as I did, but I do implore you to go give it a try. It may be a very rare game to see in shops these days, but  if you do get lucky enough to come across it, give not a second thought and try it.

    Blah!  I really need to play this game.  I've been wanting to play this for about 3 years now, but never got around to it.  And now you say that its the best game you've ever played.  If I wasn't sold on playing it before, I certainly am now.

  • Wow @justin, you're really bad at playing games that you know you should play :P (I'm in a similar situation.  I play many, but I just don't beat 'em all)

    SotC is easily one of the most beautiful artistically designed games ever.  I'd love to see what they could do with current gen hardware.

    @Commandant , what was your favorite Colossus?  Mine is easily the flying one in the desert.  My favorite method was after shooting it down, riding alongside it on Aggro(sp?) and hanging off the edge, then holding on for dear life until you could make your way to the main body.

    • My favourite colossus would have to be Avion, the bird above the water. Jumping onto him as he swooped at you with full force was quite exhilarating, and trying to hold on as he turned in the air was so much fun. Hydrus, the electric eel, was really good too in my opinion.
