10 epic Shadow Of The Colossus moments (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=189622)

1. When the first colossus appears

Even if you'd seen screenshots before playing Shadow, seeing a colossus in motion for the first time is a humbling moment. This guy's not particularly threatening - he just lumbers around as eagles circle his head - but the moment you get his attention and the music pipes up, you suddenly feel small and powerless. Of course, all it takes is one stab to the back of the shin and a few in the head to end his days. It's a brave game that introduces you to such a bewilderingly huge enemy in the first ten minutes of play.

2. Taking flight

Fire an arrow at the birdlike fifth colossus to attract its attention and grab its wing as it swoops down to attack. The beast squawks in panic and yanks you violently into the air as the soundtrack swells to a dramatic crescendo. It's an unforgettable moment, and one of the most terrifying and exciting 'levels' ever designed. To get to the beast's weak spot you have to cross an area with nothing to grip, meaning a death-defying sprint as it briefly straightens its wings. Don't time it wrong, now...

3. Scared of fire

At first this tiny colossus seems unimposing, but all it takes is one hit-and-run to knock you over and lop a huge chunk of his health off. To defeat him you have to get creative. If he bumps his head into one of the flaming pillars in the arena, a stick will be revealed. Then it's simply a case of setting it alight and waving the flames at the colossus. He'll edge backwards until he ends up toppling off the edge of a cliff, shattering his armour and revealing his weak spot. Ingenious.

4. Exploring the Forbidden Land

Shadow's world is just so darn nice to look at, and rich with character. The ruins of whichever civillisation once inhabited the Forbidden Land litter the plains; most impressive of which are the temple and its connecting bridge. The fragmented buildings suggest some epic cataclysm that cleared the land of its former inhabitants, which makes the world seem even more ghostly and eerie.

5. The Guilt

http://medialib.computerandvideogames.com/screens/screenshot_198140_thumb300.jpg
Rather than the clumsy good/evil divide most games draw between player and 'enemies', Shadow lets the gamer decide if what he's doing is right. Is the life of one girl worth that of 16 creatures? When you see their gentle eyes as you stab at their heads you realise you.

7. The sword colossus

http://medialib.computerandvideogames.com/screens/screenshot_198144_thumb300.jpg
You have a sword and so does the third colossus - but his is the size of a petrol tanker and is made of solid granite. But there's a metal pad on the ground, and standing on it attracts a swing of the big guy's weapon, resulting in it smashing and forming a point. Perform the same technique on the soft soil and it'll get stuck, letting you run up the 'blade', crawl up his arm and then get busy with the head stabbing.

8. The giant eel

http://medialib.computerandvideogames.com/screens/screenshot_198146_thumb300.jpg
How do you defeat a colossus that spends pretty much all of its time submerged in water? And has crackling electric spines lining its back? Well, it takes a while to figure out, but the fur on its spine is a big clue. Grab hold when it arches it back and you can edge your way across whenever it rises above the water line. The scariest moment is when it plunges deep into the blackness of the water, dragging you with it...

9. Grabbing the giant eagle

http://medialib.computerandvideogames.com/screens/screenshot_198148_thumb300.jpg
Most things in Colossus can be grabbed. You can grab fish and be pulled through the water, you can grab a tortoise and be dragged across the ground... but best of all you can grab an eagle's talons and be flown through the sky. But don't try it with regular eagles - your weight will pull them down. You have to find a giant-sized one, near the dead tree in the middle of the map. Grab it for a spectacular flight.

10. Leap of faith

http://medialib.computerandvideogames.com/screens/screenshot_198151_thumb300.jpg
After chasing it across the desert for ten minutes you soon realise that the only way to grab hold of the thirteenth colossus' jumbo jet-sized wings is to leap from your horse's back while he's sprinting at full pelt. Cue the game's most terrifying stunt as you attempt to time a precise jump and grab onto a moving target while hurtling across the level at high velocity. And if that wasn't enough, to lure it low enough for you to grab the wings in the first place, you have to fire your bow - while still moving - at giant glowing 'sacks' under its belly. Hardcore.
