Yahtzee: But as I keep saying, I've yet to play a perfect game, which would probably be a Prince of Persia sequel where the main character is a giant, disembodied breast. So Shadow of the Colossus has its gripes. One or two of the colossi phone it in a bit, especially the ones that are only about the size of a bull, which is disappointing when held against flying snakey speeding horsey leapy stabby wahey, like a gift box containing five thousand packing peanuts and a Kinder Suprise. And it can get very frustrating to fall off a monster's bald spot because your grip gauge ran out and have to start climbing all over again, the final boss being a particular hedgehog in my prostate for this reason. You can increase your grip gauge by shooting arrows into lizards in the overworld, which strikes me as incredibly arbitrary, like swatting a fly at work and getting inexplicably better at photocopying. But these are the complaints of a tiny, irrelevant mouse clinging to the back of a roaring lion with a jetpack. There's nothing else like, and it's just damn good. Damn damn good good damn good damn damn... good.
