Shadow of the Colossus™ Official Strategy Guide Paperback – 13 Oct. 2005

Love them or Hate them ? Strategy Guides, Walkthroughs and the Use of Cheat Codes divide Gamer's opinions perhaps more than anything else. Prima who produced the original Ico guide, could have perhaps only have improved it by using the European cover artwork inspired by Giorgio de Chiroco's " The Nostalgia of the Infinite " rather than the US cover art Sony used when rushing the game to release. Brady who have produced this guide have crammed it full of beautiful pictures that if you loved the Piranesi inspired artwork of Ico will be a delight to you. My advice is to buy it and treasure it, play the game without looking at the Guide unless you are stuck, or prefer to do this. Prima's Ico guide had 96 pages and no pull out poster, Brady's Shadow of the Colossus has 175 pages, a Superb Pull-out-Poster and detailed and comprehensive advice for taking on the 16 different Colossi. Love them or hate them ? this guide is a must for any Ico/SOTC Fan so buy it now or like the Ico guide it will be £30.00 plus in a few years and you will wish you had.( Thanks to Y.Sothoth )

a good guide for a great game. bought mainly for the stuff that i missed the first time round, not all the head stabby climbing malarky but the stuff that was understated. this guide should cover the hd ps3 remake as well.

Im in the middle of this game and have been frustrated a few times with puzzles.But iv figured them all out on my own, this "walkthrough" will spoil all that "fun"> why buy a puzzle game if you dont like puzzles ey??Would you buy a shooter if you needed help shooting!

The idea that some one would pay good money for this book astounds me. The whole idea of games like shadow of the colosus is to go out and find out how to kill each monster yourself. using a guide just ruins the whole fun of the game.

This book will definitely be helpful for me to complete this game. It's not as detailed as today's guidebooks, but one must remember that this book was written in '05 for the PS2 version. So yes, I recommend picking up this book for your gaming enjoyment.This was a used book purchase, and its condition is excellent. This book arrived ahead of the est. arrival. Super well packaged. Am very pleased with my decision to purchase a used edition and will keep this vendor on my short list for other book purchases. Thanks very much GlassFrogBooks !

海外の書籍って、紙質どうなんだろうと思っていたので、あまり期待していなかったのですが、日本版の攻略本並みに内容は良かったと思います。写真はきれいだったし、思ったより内容も豊富でした。当たり前ですが、全部英語なので文章の内容をすべては理解できませんでしたが…見てるだけでも満足できます。

This product did arrive on time actually 2 weeks ahead of schedule. The condition of the book was excellent with no marks at all thank you seller Pikmin!.

海外の攻略本を見た事がないのと、ワンダが好きだから本が欲しいという事で購入しました。英語さえ分かれば、日本の攻略本より巨像の倒し方がしっかりと詳しく解説されていますよ。ペーパーバックですが、それ程表紙もやわではないので(それでも乱暴に扱えばすぐ曲がりそうですが・・・)、あまり気になりません。また写真も大きい物が多いので、純粋に写真集としても楽しめると思います。特に半ページ全部使っての巨像との対峙シーンは圧巻です＾＾ちょっとした小技やおまけも詳しく解説してあるので、ワンダが大好きな方は、是非。

was awesome getting this. i still have my PS2 and this game. i love it so much and just had to get this strategy guide just as a collectors item. i love the game and love the guide as well.
