A presence exists within the shrine that, preying on the protagonist's desires, charges him with the destruction of sixteen massive beasts that roam the lands nearby. In a desolate landscape he finds a seemingly deserted sanctuary. The woman he loves lies dead or comatose, and he has traveled far from the lands he knows seeking a way to revive her.
Formerly Wanda and the Colossus, Shadow is tale of a young man on a mission. So, it was with no small amount of anticipation that I considered the release of Shadow of the Colossus. The subtle and effective soundtrack, the gracefully wistful quality of the graphics, and the plight of two small souls set against the world was an experience that affected me greatly.
My post-college abyss was a deep one, and beating smoke monsters with a stick was one of the activities that kept my mind away from the cruel realities of life outside of academia.
: Hold while making START MENU selection for white Agro (after completing the game in HARD MODE).It was the summer after I'd graduated from college when I was introduced to Ico. : Hold while making START MENU selection for brown Agro (after completing the game once). : Pause/resume during play brings up overworld map and options menu. : Hold to center camera on Agro (or colossi). #Shadow of the colossus ps2 items free
: Free camera control (also works during intro, start menu, Agro/hawk screensaver, and cutscenes). Just for fun - try standing atop Agro while stationary wait until one of the large brown birds that occasionally accompanies overhead flies by, then press triangle while continuing to hold R1 to jump and grab hold (if timed correctly.). : Hold to 'go prone' atop Agro hold and push up on left control stick to stand atop Agro (arrows can be fired from this standing position) hold, then hold Triangle and press left or right on the left control stick to hang from Agro's side (let go to fall from Agro, or press Triangle again while still holding R1 to remount). : Focus light (with sword drawn) pat Agro (while stationary, with weapons stowed). : Hold to focus light (with sword drawn) fire arrow (with bow drawn). 
Simultaneously pull back and press X from rest to make Agro rear-up and gallop away, or while galloping to come to an abrupt stop.
: Pull reins left/right to steer Agro left/right (regardless of camera position) pull back to slow him down. Wander recovers health more quickly while crouching. Press again to stab downwards with force. Pressing Square while crouching or holding on to a colossus charges a sword attack (watch the grip meter/pink circle, which also doubles as a stamina/strength gauge). Pressing Triangle while crouching causes to Wander to dive forward into a roll while holding onto a ledge/colossus, hold Triangle to charge jump, then release to jump upwards (pull back or left or right on the control stick before releasing Triangle to direct Wander's Jump, regardless of camera position). Pressing the control stick while crouching causes Wander to creep. Note that grip strength is measured by the pink circle in the bottom right corner as this shrinks, Wander's grip weakens until he eventually falls/lets go (this meter can be increased by defeating colossi and by collecting the white tails from certain lizards scattered throughout the land). : Hold to crouch hold R1 from a jump (or a fall) to grab ledges, colossus 'fur', etc. : Focus light (with sword drawn) to point the way (and to locate colossus vitals) pick up item (lizard tail, fruit, etc.) kneel at shrines (to save and replenish health), colossi statues (to challenge time attack mode after completing the game), and fallen colossi (returning to fallen colossi and kneeling at their 'mounds' allows Wander to enter Reminiscence Mode). This is near essential to avoiding frustration when fighting the faster, more responsive colossi (read, IX and XIV). Tap repeatedly to get up faster after being knocked unconscious (in about 1/3 of the time otherwise). Jump near Agro, then hold R1 to mount from jump. Jump, press and hold R1 then press to stab downwards (this also works while falling from height). : Swing sword (sword drawn or sheathed) fire arrow (with bow drawn-Note-collision detection in this game is very impressive-try pinning a lizard down by its tail). : Call Agro whistle to get Colossi's attention (hold to center camera on colossi, unless Agro is nearby, in which case hold L1 and press X to whistle). : Move Wander (that's your character's name!) aim with bow (when equipped).
