I tried finding some on the 'net, but clear ones are hard to find as the creature hardly ever surfaces during the fight. If you'd like, I can fight the colossus again tomorrow, take some photos, and post those.

For now, take a look at the photo and let me point some things out:



Firstly, notice the three dark lines midway down the creature (about the same area where the ruler is). In game, these are electrified spines on the creature's back, and also denote it's weak points. You have to stab those to bring it down. Also, take a look at the bottom photo. You can see the tentacle-like whiskers protruding from the creature's face. Of special note is the tail at the top of the photos. It's a very distinctive shape, and is covered in hair (I've fallen off of it a number of times).

In case anyone else was curious, the other viral campaigns feature these colossi:

Syberian Giant is the 2nd Colossus:



Incan Giant is the 3rd Colossus:



And the Persian Giant is the 13th Colossus:

Photos or screen shots? I take it the game is only available on PS2.... Google... Oh, I see. So taking a screenshot isn't really all that easy. Well it would be great to get a good pic for comparison to settle this once and for all.

I found one screenshot
here but it's not really good enough for comparison.

I see there was the same confusion over at the museum of Hoaxes as well as the Playstation forum...

Well, all over the Internet the general feeling is that all the giants pointed out at ATS as Sony hoaxes, are indeed Sony creations. I wonder if Sony will ever admit to this...

Well, if it is the case, then I must admit that I was wrong for one, and that Sony created one of the best and elaborate marketing schemes ever.
