Sony
Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) has announced the release of Shadow
of the Colossus for February 2006, an epic new action adventure
from the creators of ICO, available exclusively on
PlayStation2. And, in a move that will delight gamers from all over
the world, SCEE will also re-release ICO at the same time,
allowing those who weren't lucky enough to play this epic when it
was first released the opportunity to do so now.
An
intense journey of exploration, problem solving and eerie battle, Shadow
of the Colossus has at its heart a spell-binding atmosphere that
builds as your adventure progresses. The distinct, highly-acclaimed
graphic style that came to prominence in ICO makes this an
absorbing voyage of discovery, featuring some of the most
picturesque landscapes and formidable enemies ever to be seen on
PlayStation2 as you embark on a journey that sees you attempt to
destroy awesome Colossi.
With
special packaging in the same style that contributed to ICO's
huge success, Shadow of the Colossus will be a must have
collectors' item for any self respecting gamer. The breathtaking
scenery and stunning design of the Colossi will have those who
experience Shadow of the Colossus immersed in a mesmerising
adventure.
When
asked about the re-release of ICO (in standard PlayStation2
packaging), Isabelle Tomatis, Software Manager, Sony Computer
Entertainment Europe commented: “The launch of Shadow of the
Colossus has given us a great opportunity to re-release ICO
for all those gamers who were unable to experience this exceptional
game the first time round. We are delighted to let them have the
opportunity to add to their collections and believe that Shadow
of the Colossus and ICO together make a powerful
combination which gamers all over Europe will enjoy."
ICO
is one of the most critically acclaimed PlayStation2 titles,
renowned for its thoughtful  and involving gameplay. Oozing
atmosphere and depth, Shadow of the Colossus is set to
challenge perceptions of gaming and push the borders of action
adventure gaming even further. Beautiful, unusual and absorbing, Shadow
of the Colossus is set subtlety within a cinematic scope and is
attempting to create a new standard in mythical Action/Adventure.
