Wonders of the Colossus
Game Review: Shadow of the Colossus
Console: PS2
The Gods of the Temple have bid me kill the 16 Colossus that roam the land. They have promised to bring her back to life if I succeed in the quest bestowed upon me. I laid her at the temple's altar. Her face, full of life, is the only thing that drives me now. I have no other purpose. My life is meaningless without her by my side. Giants I will face, and giants will I slay to bring her back to life.
I awoke from my sleep. The sun was shining a little dim, casting a hazy light over this vast, beautiful land. My horse waited next to the shrine where I fell asleep the day before today. It approaches as I stirred from my deep slumber. I gather my wits about me. I must make haste or else she would be lost forever.
I mounted my loyal steed, and I raised my sacred sword. The sunlight reflected off the surface of the sword and showed me the way to the next giant that I must slay.
The light led me to a vast lake. In the middle stood a round canopy of a fallen structure. I dismounted my horse and left it on the shore as I swam toward the walkway that led to the top of the canopy.
The giant was aroused from its sleep. It stood erect and its eyes red in anger, provoked by my presence. It sensed the doom that was coming and uttered a massive growl as it stood. I waited, anticipating its move. With its massive frame, the giant walk towards me, shaking the ground with each of its steps.
On its hand it held a might club, almost as tall is its body. It raised the club and swung it down at the canopy where our battle would took place. I ran to the side. The ground shook, and I was brought to my knees.
I must not be afraid. I must be brave.
And so I stood, raised my sword up to the sky, praying to Heavens above to give me strength, and ran towards the giant as it prepares for another swing of its mighty club.
Giants I will face, and giants will I slay to bring her back to life.
And so the third battle of the Colossus Legend began...
