But after 2 bosses you'll know what the rest of the game will be like... Do you really think it rivals, say, Zelda? Not every game has to be Zelda-esque, let me point out that. But SOTC is not one of the big games, to me. Okami was developed by Capcom, wasn't it? They just jumped aboard the most successful system, it could have been an XBox or GC game as well. |
Hold on a second. "Ico" is one of the greatest videogames ever made. So is "Shadow of the Colossus". They are complex, wondrous game-worlds, which reinvented the jump-and-run puzzle game in the context of a mythic world which felt like a Tolkien fantasy world come to life. SOTC in particular needs to be played all the way through to the end -- it's a tragic, heart-breaking tale. "God of War" and "God of War 2" are both smashing epics, which reinvent Greek mythology in a new way (they're also subtle satires of the sword-and-sandal Hollywood genre). You have to give Sony some credit: most giant corporations churn out bland, unimaginative crap. But Sony's game division has genuine in-house creativity.
