i just bought it today and im playing it for the first time. at 2 and a half hours in i already killed four of them. its a beautiful,beautiful game but most of the time it isnt that challenging. another thing i dont really like is that you return to the castle after each kill. i was kind of hoping for epic miles of horseback riding.(though there is plenty of that)
a question: i just killed the 4th one and when i returned to the main castle(church?) there were four black shadow guys standing over me. and i freeing trapped souls or something or are those guys pissed at me or something?

Shadow of the Colossus is still one of the best damn games ever to come out in the past five years, and easily one of the crown jewels of the PS2's legacy, right alongside Persona 4. It's also the only real reason why I want to get the PS3, I mean it's follow-up (along with MGS4).
All will be explained narrative-wise, and you can pretty guess where things are going around the 70% mark, yet it's still an awesome pay-off. Then there's a big shock near the end that will make you understand why I roll my eyes whenever they say they were moved by the death of that chick in Final Fantasy 7.
My fave Colossi are numbers 2, 3, and especially 5, but all of them are great (I can't remember the rest, because I always replay the game up till 5 and move on to other stuff).
And I personally like having to go back to the castle each time, mostly because you're generally going down a different path each time, for the most part.

Have you played Ico? It doesn't have you taking down gigantic monster boss level things, but it has the same aesthetic, but it's a little more powerful.

Some of the ones that come later just kind of hope you remember how you beat some of the earlier ones. Only with new twists.
If you've gotten this far, the rest of the game isn't so bad.

the tenth one is just too hard. i know i have to run around with the horse and wait untill his eyes show up and shoot them with the arrow then get on his back,but ive been only able to do that once everytime i slow down a bit so he can get close he just rams me off my horse.

I definitely remember that one and it being very hard. Did you google it to see if there's a trick to it?
