In this game, you play as a lone warrior who has travelled to a forbidden land in hopes to revive his lost love from the dead. Guided by a mysterious voice named Dormin, the warrior and his horse Agro must travel to several corners of the land to slay a total of sixteen behemoth monsters, called colossi, in order to bring his love back alive, or so Dormin says.
While the plot might seem boring at first (Considering it doesn't start to unravel until you're far into the game,) As well as the fact that there is little to interact with in the world; no villages, no people, and no items to obtain, the game has amazing graphics for one that was released in 2005, not to mention that it's for the PS2. It also has a colorful set of monsters you have to fight (Albeit the only monsters you have to fight in the entire game,) in colorful enviroments that you have to use to your advantage to slay them. The music is downright emotional and sounds quite unique to any other game that revolves around slaying monsters.

This is what you hear each time you kill a colossus. Compare that to what you hear in Zelda :>
Since there are sixteen colossi in total, you also have a wide range to pick a favorite.
For example, my favorite is No. 8, Kuromori (With which I would happily provide you with a link, if ads didn't latch onto it like the vermin they are :>)
The game is rated T for some blood (Mainly from the colossi) and violence but that's about it.
Anyways, share your own comments and compliments about this amazing game.
