As I download the movie,

Yeah, this game is so artistic. They went in this cool direction where they removed the "sword fodder" enemies that litter so many games and it\'s just you with a horse and sword, tracking down the bosses. The landscape is vast and at times requires Prince of Persia or Ico like interaction to advance. And the bosses are humongous creatures where their body becomes the landscape as they move and attack and you search out a weakspot and try to slay the beast for reasons unknown...

Yeah, I\'ve seen half the video so far. It tells some of the story and you can tell the colossus enemies are just that. Looks like it will be really cool. Artistic.

Probably make it a steady 60fps with detailed textures and backgrounds.  Hopefully several monsters on the screen at the same time.

I know the PS2 is feeling its age but that still looks like fun.  I hope the game is much bigger than searching for the colossuses, the preview didn\'t do the game justice if it is.

For the record, "artistic" does not equal a solid game. The previous effort, \'Ico\', was artistic, but highly borin\'..Of course, that\'s just my opinion.

I enjoyed Ico, but I\'m a sucker for puzzle based games.  My only hope for the collosus is that the actual enviroment provides challenges and not just the 15 bosses.  If it\'s run around looking at pretty landscapes between bosses, I\'ll be peeved.

Thankfully, yes.

ICO was amazing IMO.

You\'re definitely right about it not being a sure thing, LIC.

But it\'s promising and actually unique which is the biggest thing I look for in a game nowadays.
