should I get Shadow of the Colossus?

[c0ldb33r]

I've never seen this game in the wild. Is it rare at all?

I've recently seen a copy at Walmart for $24.98. Should I pick it up? Is it actually rare? Or is this just a locality thing? Is this more common elsewhere?

Thanks in advance

Decent game but it's in no way rare. It got a Greatest Hits release a while ago.

I've seen it for $15 new though, so I wouldn't pick it up for anything more than that.

He knows that of which he speaks.

Though I'd up the buy threshold to $20. You'll easily get that much enjoyment out of it. It's an awesome game.

I paid full price ($39.99) when it came out. SotC wasn't a game I wanted to wait for a price drop. Excellent game...one of the best PS2 experiences of all time.

I will also +1 the game it is visually stunning and shows that people can still make good video games if they put the effort in. But dear god don't pay 25 bucks for it it is not nearly worth that.

It went Greatest Hits, so it isn't rare by any means. Obviously, you shouldn't spend more than $20 (US) on it.

But yes, I do highly recommend picking it up. Fabulous game, and one of the best that the PS2 has to offer.

Do it, now.

The game's worth more than $20 in playability and originality. I got it awhile back for $12 NGH used and was totally worth it. I haven't gotten into the game but boy is it massive.

Not to +1, but it isn't rare, and you need to buy it regardless. I am currently playing through it and it is fantastic. It has its issues, but all in all, it is quite a magnificent experience.

I concur. SotC is one of the best games I have ever played and you should definitely pick it up.
