I just beat Shadow of the Colossus.
Heckyeah*dancedance*
The end with Wander turning into Dormin/dying was very sad, yet the part where he turns into an infant with horns pissed me off D: Just because Ico was a "cult hit" doesn't mean you have to connect it to an otherwise WONDERFUL game. I personally would have hoped the whole "horned boy" bit would have been pulled off a little more nicely in order to fit in with the feel of SotC. After all, Ico's horns look absolutely ridiculous and destroy an otherwise very ethereal seeming and excellent game. Then to take that stupid horned-boy crap and drag it into SotC in an almost completely random fashion seems really, really dumb.
Sure, I read about 16 pages of plot analysis on how they dress similiar and the worlds are the same, but I still hate the little link between the games. Honestly, it really ruined the ending for me. Mono and Agro going up (ALONE) to the Secret Garden would have been fine. The freaky and butt-ugly little horned baby Wander did not need to be there.
Other than that, I apparently have to beat the game FOUR MORE TIMES to have enough stamina to scale the Temple of Worship. Well screw that, I'll go on a crazy insane lizard quest. I don't care to be "Ico's ancestor" again. And DANG, that stupid flying dragon was hard (Phalanx). So not worth the two hours spent trying to shoot its godforsaken air sacs.
But, yeah. Excellent game, just so you all know. But I oftentimes wanted to kick Agro in the big stupid horsebutt, then felt sorry after he fell down into the cavernous pit of watery doom at the end D: I was like, DANGIT AGRO, I'M SORRYYYYYYY~
