Shadow of the Colossus is part beautiful atmospheric slow-paced fantasy world, part reflex game. There are only 16 enemies in the entire game, all boss battles. Think of it like a huge, detailed fantasy world full of forests and ruins, and you get to spend a long time just wandering through the world with your horse, and every now and then a very pretty golem the size of a skyscraper tries to kill you. :P I'm no good at reflex games and I can't beat all the bosses, but Ian played the game through for me the first time and I just sat there like *_* being completely fascinated because it's all so pretty. The graphics and world-building are fantastic. So if you don't like fighting games, I can just show you some of the enemies I can actually beat, and the rest we can just load the level and be like "ooooh pretty!" until it stomps us to death. XD
