Even though this is probably the greatest, epicest, superduper game ever made and DESERVES A REMAKE in hd more than any other game, I 'm wondering what will it be classified. The game is basically a platformer all the way, no stabbing besides hit the enemy in its weak spot. So what will this game be considered the best game in which genre?

Action-adventure but the adventure has more freedom than many games in its genre.

I would say, Puzzle, Adventure, Platformer, because finding out the Colossus' weak spot is all itself a puzzle, the platformer comes in with scaling the Colossus it self, and the adventure is self explanatory.

action- when you fight down the colassus.
platformer- when you need to find your way up to them.

the funny thing is that you will only see two cutscenes on the game, one at the beginning so you know what is all about then the last one to know what happen at the end. simple yet so much fun.

Yeah #16 was the one with the huge armor and with those fire attacks.

#15 was my favorite one though, he was the one that was in this ancient city that you had to get close to the edge of the city for him to appear climbing up towards it. He was the hardest one IMO since you had to figure out a way to fall in his right hand. (In which he could've just easily crush you by just closing his hand if he wanted to)...

Oh yeah, the one that breaks the little gazebos that were on top of the lakes. He was a scary one.(And one of the hardest ones, I had to wait for Dormin to give me a tip on how to kill that bastard, I didn't know that I had to go on top of the gazebos so that he can put his two front paws on top of it so that I could stab him... in his chest of all places!)

I was like: "Where in hell is his weak spot?!"
