	If this game isn't considered art, then I don't know what is. It is an experience that should not be missed. WARNING- SPOILERS!! This message was edited by TommyVercetti on Jun 30 2008. ------------------- Click to see my YouTube channel

	Too many spoilers for me. I wish I hadn't seen the bridge, and Mono standing up! It is a fantastic lookin' game though, and a lot of reviews and the like say it borders art and all. ------------------- Patapon \|\| PM \|\| General PSP \|\| GB \|\| LocoRoco

	quote TommyVercetti If this game isn't considered art, then I don't know what is. I'm sooo sick of hearing that this game is "so art". OF COURSE IT IS. It's a media game based on camera edits, story, music, and characterization. It's called FILM. No, Roger Ebert, it's not high art because you can play the game different than what the developer wanted. But it is art because it is a metaphysical recreation of something that cannot be created in real life. YES IT IS ART. Grand Theft Auto is art. Pacman is art. Shadow of the Colossus just happens to be a different sort of art compared to other video games. Don't get me wrong, Tommy, this isn't directed at you, but there are a lot of ignorant people out there who attempt to justify their video game habits by shoving games like this and Ico down other peoples throats and saying that it is pure art, and, thus, their habit is justified by cultural and intellectual development. Video games are fun, grasping, and sometimes intelligent, but I despise anyone who attempts to shove games like this in other peoples faces for the sake of falsifying their need for "art". /rant ------------------- PSN: Esoterika Playing: The War Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (MGO), Monster Hunter Freedom 2 Wanted: Vagrant Story Waiting patiently for: FXIII, Persona 4 MGO: Esoterika

	That's called being pedantic. Technically, nothing is fake. Because the word fake implies it's not what it is, and everything that's fake is what it is. Example: A 'fake' watch is real. It's a real watch, replica or otherwise. But no one cares because the word fake is what it is, and it's not created to be a contradiction of itself. It's more artsy than most games, and we don't usually need to state that because it's obvious that that's what we mean. Do you pick on people that use the term RPG as well? Technically everything is an RPG. But we know what they mean when they call a game an RPG. ------------------- Patapon \|\| PM \|\| General PSP \|\| GB \|\| LocoRoco

Shadow of the Colossus is probably the most beautiful game I've ever played. I'm just showing my opinion on the controversial subject by stating that this game is the high point in video games in terms of art. But the controversy of whether or not video games are art isn't among gamers, it's among everyone else. So I understand why my art line isn't needed here. ------------------- Click to see my YouTube channel

	Art isn't just confined to such things as canvas and crayons. Art is essentially the expression of a person's vision of a dream, or the portrayal of something that is important to them. Art at its core is expression of the mind, not just pencil strokes and paint brushes. There are many kinds of art, from sculptures to music, and paintings to plays on stage. Shadow of the Colossus is art because it is the expression of the developers of something that cannot be found anywhere on earth; something that takes us on an emotional journey that you just can't find anywhere else. If this isn't art, then neither is everything else. ------------------------- The video was brilliant, by the way. Just brilliant. ------------------- ! quote Ace Combat 4 Shattered Skies Amidst the blue skies, a link from the past to the future. The sheltering wings of the Protector...
