I've been considering on picking this game up for $20 on amazon, and was wondering on if anyone thought I should pick it up. I've heard many good things about this game, and I still am interested in expanding my PS2 collection. (just got a nice cheap copy of Persona 4 with a kick ass art book).

Also: is there a collectors edition of this game (SotC)? There's a few listings that say "Collectible" and if theres a special box or book that comes with it I think I would like it.

Anyone think this is a good purchase?

If not, Why?

Great game. Seriously good purchase, though i got mine for €7! Mine is in a paper case, though i dunno if i'd call it a special edition!

When should I start a thread in forums instead?


Forums are meant to foster active conversations. Forum readers do not expect you to organize or present an opinion, facts, or even cohesive paragraphs per se. This is a place to talk. Have a brief question? Want to make a quick comment on a gaming topic to get a group discussion going? Forums are the best place to do this, because conversations are "threaded" -- you can engage various people individually instead of addressing everyone. Try our forums out!. (Note: your login is the same in the forum, but it requires a login with your username instead of your email address. If you end up creating two accounts by accident please contact us and we can merge them.)

Yeah, this question belongs in the forums but, I will go ahead and tell you what you need to do...

BUT IT!! I bought it a couple years ago for $20 and I do not regret it at all. It is an amazing and different game.

I actually recently started to play this game, and its very intriguing. It really puts its hooks into you.

I have one big gripe with it so far. I'm spent more time fighting the camera and the controls than the actual colossi. The camera controls like shit. So just be prepared for that.

Totally get it...though I'm sure I've seen it for less than $20. Worth it either way.

The New copies are 20, the used ones are 10. Wanted a new one so I don't get a skippy game. I've played ZotE before, I guess I didn't like it because I was expecting an experience similar to MGS. And that was also when it came out.. I'll see if anyone I know has the second one.. maybe its better.

Thanks for the input guys,and sorry for not using the forums.

For a second time I'm not flamed on my blog! \m/

Yes and buy Ico while you are at it (imo Ico is the superior game of the two but both are must plays)

I bought it two months ago, and it seems that i was too late to the party cause i traded it in a week after

The game is actually pretty awesome, but the framerate gets very choppy, so much that it kinda ruined the experience for me... I would love to see this running on ps3 hardware

you should give it a shot anyway though

You can a greatest hits version brand new on ebay for a good price. Or at least I know you could back in June when I bought mine.

And yes, it's a must play. One of the best games ever.

I just started renting (see my last blog) and this one is near the top of my list of games I want a piece of. I hear it's excellent and it should probably be a buy at that price!
