I love this game so much! But it wouldn't be the same without this outstanding soundtrack. Keep up the good work! Next I would like to see 'super smash bros', or even 'the evil within'! That would be very amazing! ten out of ten for sure! :3

Few video game soundtracks are as sublime as Shadow of the Colossus: from the quieter more introspective pieces to the stirring and adrenaline-pump ing battle music; the quality is always high. The thundering orchestral music of the battle pieces are the most praise-worthy and notable tracks and evoke the images of the game most strongly, that of clambering over those gigantic colossi and taking them down. But just as pure music this soundtrack is a raucous and thrilling ride all on its own and even if you somehow haven't played the classic game, this classic music would likely still be enjoyable.

This music from Shadow of Colossus is incredible. I always have been into video games and always will be, but this is really neat! I seriously never thought there was a way of actually listening to music from awesome games without having to play the game itself. Don't get me wrong the games are very cool like Kingdom Hearts 2 but they just wouldn't be the same without the music going with it. This particular album is one of the coolest I've ever heard. I've never actually played the game: Shadow of Colossus before except for a short demo. Now I really want to see what it's like, now that I've heard the intense music. Keep this site up! Send in more varieties of video game music like Halo, Halo 2, Lost planet, etc. It'd be extremely awesome to hear music from those games!

Shadow of Collosus is an epic RPG game. its provide the high quality in display, the map is endless,without border. While the music is very astonishing. I can't wait the sequel of this game. Let's climb up the mountain, ride the stallion, swim the lake, river, even the sea to crush the collosi and help the princess. Yeaaahhh!

Just wanna say,

that its simply incredible.So much excelently composed music is rarley seen in one games.Great mystic theme.To all who played this game and enjoyed it downloading this album even one song at a time(like i did :P) is definetly WORTH IT.50/10

dude wtf gett the game!

This soundtrack is beautiful to listen to in its own right, entirely apart from the game, but in conjunction with the moody graphics, it really enhances the overall feel of the game to something truly unique and enthralling.

One of my favourite games is shadow of the colossus, the game got graphics and the music. This mosic gives me creeps, i love to sit'n hear to these songs. Please, i wanna hear from Ty The Tasmanian Tiger 1 and 2 if u could do that it would be grate :D

awesome game, awesome music and nothing more. excellent. And now in my birth language: Je to skvel kombinace zivho orchestru, elektroniky a talentu Kow Ottaniho. Zzitkov a akcn skladby jsou skvel a je to vzor jak pst hudbu do filmu.

Shadow of the Colossus[a] is a 2005 action-adventure game developed by Japan Studio and Team Ico, and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 2. It takes place in a fantasy setting and follows Wander, a young man who enters an isolated and abandoned region of the realm seeking the power to revive a girl named Mono. The player assumes the role of Wander as he embarks on a mission that might entail Mono's resurrection: to locate and destroy the colossi, sixteen massive beings spread across the forbidden land, which the protagonist traverses by horseback and on foot.

The game was directed by Fumito Ueda and developed at Sony Computer Entertainment's International Production Studio 1, also known as Team Ico, the same development team responsible for the acclaimed PlayStation 2 title Ico, to which the game is considered a spiritual successor. Сonceived as an online multiplayer game titled NICO directly after Ico's completion, Shadow of the Colossus underwent a lengthy production cycle during which it was redeveloped as a single-player title. The team sought to create an outstanding interactive experience by including a distinct visual design, an unorthodox gameplay template, and non-player characters with sophisticated artificial intelligence such as the colossi and Wander's horse, Agro.

Cited as an influential title in the video game industry and one of the best video games ever made, Shadow of the Colossus is often regarded as an important example of video games as art due to its minimalist landscape designs, immersive gameplay, and emotional weight of the player character's journey. It received wide critical acclaim by the media and was met with strong sales compared to Ico, due in part to a larger marketing campaign. The game won several awards for its audio, design, and overall quality. A remastered version for the PlayStation 3 was released alongside Ico as The Ico & Shadow of the Colossus Collection in September 2011, developed by Bluepoint Games, who later produced a remake in high definition of the game for the PlayStation 4 in 2018.

Described by several commentators as an action-adventure game,[2][3] Shadow of the Colossus takes place from a third-person perspective in a three-dimensional (3D) graphic environment and involves combat-based gameplay sequences, as well as platforming and puzzle game elements.[4] The game's environment is largely presented as a seamless open world.[5] Progression through Shadow of the Colossus occurs in cycles. Beginning at a central point in an expansive landscape, the player seeks out and defeats a colossus, and is then returned to the central point to repeat the process.[2] To find each colossus, Wander may raise his sword while in a sunlit area to reflect beams of light, which will converge when the sword is pointed in the right direction of the next encounter.[6] The player's journey to a colossus seldom follows a direct route: stretches of varied terrain often require that a detour be taken along the way. Most colossi are situated in remote areas, such as atop cliffs or within ancient structures.[2][7]

Once a colossus is found, the player must discover its weaknesses to defeat it. Each colossus dwells in a unique lair, and in most encounters the player must use some aspects of the current battlefield to advantage, a necessity that becomes more pronounced as the game progresses.[9] The first two battles take place on simple, vast, flat areas of land, wherein the player's only goal is to discover how to scale the colossi and attack their weak points.[6][9] However, the majority of the following fourteen battles require that the player make use of the surrounding environment.[10][11]

Every colossus has at least one weak point, symbolized by a glowing sigil[12] that can be illuminated and identified by the sword's reflected light.[6][13] Each colossus has areas covered with fur or protruding ledges, which Wander may use to grip and scale the colossus while it thrashes about in an attempt to dislodge him.[2] Wander has a limited stamina gauge that decreases as he hangs onto the colossus; the player thus must act quickly when they scale the creature.[4] Aside from the colossi, who are the only enemies of the game, the environment is inhabited by natural animals. Only one species, however, has an effect on gameplay: eating the tail of a certain kind of lizard increases Wander's stamina gauge. Likewise, the player may find fruit that increases Wander's maximum health.[14]
