       Shadow of the Colossus, released in Japan as Wander and the
       Colossus (Japanese:
       ワンダと巨像 Hepburn: Wanda
       to Kyozō?), is an action-adventure game published by Sony
       Computer Entertainment (SCEI) for the PlayStation 2. The game
       was released in North America and Japan in October 2005 and PAL
       territories in February 2006. It was directed by Fumito Ueda and
       developed at SCEI's International Production Studio 1, also
       known as Team Ico; the same development team responsible for the
       cult hit Ico. Shadow of the Colossus is considered a spiritual
       successor to Ico. Along with Ico, Shadow of the Colossus was
       re-released in The Ico & Shadow of the Colossus Collection (ICO
       & Shadow of the Colossus Classics HD in the PAL region) for the
       PlayStation 3 in September 2011; it features high-definition
       (HD) graphics, content previously missing from the North
       American version, PlayStation Network Trophies, and 3D support.
       The HD version was released separately in Japan.
       The game's storyline focuses on a young man named Wander who
       enters a forbidden land. Wander must travel across a vast
       expanse on horseback and defeat sixteen massive beings, known
       simply as colossi, in order to restore the life of a girl named
       Mono. The game is unusual within the action-adventure genre in
       that there are no towns or dungeons to explore, no characters
       with which to interact, and no enemies to defeat other than the
       colossi. Shadow of the Colossus has been described as a puzzle
       game, as each colossus' weakness must be identified and
       exploited before it can be defeated.
       Cited as an influential title in the video game industry, Shadow
       of the Colossus is often regarded as an important example of
       video game art due to its minimalist landscape designs,
       immersive gameplay and emotional journey. It received wide
       critical acclaim by the media and was met with strong sales
       compared to Ico, due in part to a larger marketing campaign. The
       soundtrack was also widely praised. The game won several awards
       for its audio, design, and overall quality. Shadow of the
       Colossus is also referenced numerous times in debates regarding
       the art quality and emotional perspectives of video games.
       While the game has an extensive orchestral soundtrack, the music
       is only heard during cut scenes and colossus encounters, while
       time spent at the Shrine of Worship and traversing the landscape
       is silent save for the sounds made by the protagonist, his horse
       and their surroundings. The open nature of the game world and
       lack of life, coupled with this limited use of music, aids in
       establishing an atmosphere of solitude, similar to that of Ico.
       On December 7, 2005, a soundtrack album containing music from
       the game was released only in Japan, titled Wander and the
       Colossus Original Soundtrack: Roar of the Earth (Japanese:
       ワンダと巨像　オ
       リジナル
       サウンドトラック
       大地の咆哮
       Hepburn: Wanda to Kyozō Original Soundtrack: Daichi no
       Hōkō?). There are currently no announced plans to
       release the album in other territories. The game's score was
       composed by Kow Otani, whose previous video game work included
       the soundtracks to the PlayStation 2 flight simulator Sky
       Odyssey and the PlayStation shooter Philosoma. He has also
       worked on several of the 1990s-era Gamera films, as well as a
       variety of anime. Roar of the Earth won the award for
       "Soundtrack of the Year" in the US-based video game magazine
       Electronic Gaming Monthly.
       All music composed by Kow Otani.
