Both of these games are cheap, I just don't know which one to get. Which one would you recommend the most?

Thanks..

Eh, tough call, I love both. If you're a FF purist, you might hate FFXII. >.> Shadow of the Colossus has a very ICO feeling, so if you enjoyed ICO, you might like SotC also. D:

If you want a more unique experience, obviously go for Shadow of the Colossus. If you want something to last for awhile, go for FFXII. I love both and they rank among my top ten PS2 games. Whatever you do choose, make sure you get the other at some point down the road.

Most definately Phantasy Star Universe: Ambitions of the Illuminus!!! Between the two you said tats easy. Sotc is a worthless turd and although ff12 is extremely boring and lacks any minigames its extremely beautiful.

Phantasy Star isn't that great either all of the games are mentioned have their problems , calling SotC a turd is going a bit far

^Whats wrong with SOTC? You can't just come on here and what is widely believed to be one of the best games on PS2 a turd without justification.

PSU has been the same thing for the past years , it hasn't evolved since it's first release , granted it's improved upon it but that's about it . The same thing holds true to the Final Fantasy series although XII departed from the series formula it felt fresh and something that you've grown accustomed to over the years.Plus Monster Hunter rapes PSU when it comes to online 8)

ff12 is a deep and long RPG with a great stroyline

while SotC is a action and adventure game but you have face off 16 huge boss fights and thats it it sounds lame buts a lot of fun.

get both if you can but ff12 will hold you over and by the time you beat ff12 you have money to buy SotC

I have both, so I hope getting both is an option (if they are really cheap).

Having finished SotC the problem was it didn't take very long and the time attack options seem like an attempt to keep you interested for a little more. But in saying that it was really fun and exciting. FF:XII will have you playing for many hours not to mention the side quests the problem here is that you may get bored with the game play if you aren't used to RPG's.

remember these games are completely different so it may be wise to look over the other games in your collection and pick something similar you seem to have a lot of RPG's so get FF:XII. But then get SotC.

That was one of the crappiest reviews I have read , considering that you though of the game as easy and lacking skill then why didn't you play it in hard mode? Last time I checked the game isn't a RPG to begin with but a action/adventure game . The only real flaws with the game is the framerate , loose controls, and bad camera . It isn't a PSU but it does have more interesting/better boss battles then it .

Don't mind Abbandon... He ALWAYS does that, he'd say the games you play are crap yet those he plays are the s*@!. Even when his arguments are as poor as those presented on his, ejem, "review" (seriously, who gives a game an 8 in gameplay and graphics and a 1 in sound, value and tilt??? :?). Anyways... as for the topic, I say go for FF12 only if you are willing to invest a lot of time on it, you will need time to get accostumed to the mechanics before you actually get to enjoy it and make the best of it ;)

Liar. When people talk about games or ask for opinions I give mine and thats all. Nobody here is worth my time to just harass them like that, like you do. You wont see me saying the games I play are perfect and utterly flawless either. There are flaws in every game and I do my best to talk about all of them.

I have read some of your reviews and some of your posts, and quite frankly your best just isn't good enough. You should stop to think about the way you criticise what you don't like: people respond very emotionally when something they like gets trashed...and from what I read so do you. You have every right to dislike every game ever made if you wanted...but at least do it with well grounded arguments and withou all the "crap" and "turd" comments that apparently are the only demeaning adjectives you can come up with.

Answering the thread: i think SotC is a good game but I prefer FFXII, because I'm a FF fan and if you prefer a game with longer longevity, beyond the main quest, FF is the best choice

I could possibly buy some of your reasons, but the score of 1 for sound is absurd....good job giving no credit to one of the best scores ever crafted for a video game.

both are good games but FFXII is the best FF game and its play time will be at least 5 times more than SotC's, so FFXII is better choice

Yeahhh if your going to buy FF12 instead of Sotc, don't expect too much of it. You will experience a bad politics story and you woudn't care for the character's backroundstory except for balthier, hes the only one that makes the story interesting xD

FF12 isn't THAT bad, i mean the game is better than dark cloud or FF9 or CoN/DA, its just that the story and the gameplay WILL bore you.. i guarantee it.

Funny is the way you use the word harassment... the only reason why I allowed myself to "waste time on you" is because YOU ALWAYS DO THAT, in every single forum you post. The guy/girl was asking for a recommendation to either get FF12 or SotC. Now, I can't say I understand your "healthy" fixation with PSU and mediocre games in general, but hey, that's what you like and I respect it (well, I used to), but if you are going to deviate from the point and shove your oppinions down everyone's throat, you should at least do so without bringing down what the rest of us like. Honestly, I found your responsequite disconcerting, because it seems to me that you go into these forums trying to pick a fight, well, blame me for that, blame me for falling and giving you what you asked for. Now go and have fun with the most epic game ever created for the PS2 :?

If you like RPG's and long games,you should get FF,but if you like a game that is amazing in all fields you should get Sotc,but it's a bit shorter than FF.
