In this temple, you lay the girl on an altar in hopes of bringing her back to life. After traversing various landscapes, you cross an enormous stone bridge that leads to a massive temple. The game begins with a series of cut scenes displaying a young man (your character) on a horse, with a girl that is apparently deceased. There isn't too much in the way of text in SotC however, the graphically-driven storyline is still intriguing, and as deep as your ability to ponder. Despite some notable technical drawbacks, the final product is one of the most engrossing titles of the year, and is a sure buy for anyone looking for a unique, albeit short, experience. Throughout the course of development, the game took on other names ( Nico and Wanda and the Colossus), and of course, finally rested upon the moniker, Shadow of the Colossus. When information began to surface about a follow-up from the creators of Ico, the ears of many gamers and members of the media perked. It's hard not to get caught up in the hype and expectations of a highly publicized release, especially when its creators have a significant achievement or two on their track record.
