Ico

Mixed feelings about this one. Overall, I like it; it has a grandiosque dreamy quality to the visuals. Very large scale surroundings but it seems to be a bit foggy and light at times (intentional i'm sure; certainly NOT due to PS2 capabilities)--graphics-wise, I was expecting better. The story is quite original. I do like the fact that there is no health bar to worry about...you 'die' if you fall too far or if the villian shadows capture the girl. Its a puzzle-based game and it can get quite tough at some times (I find myself hitting online playguides). The interface is simple, you can pick it up in about 5 minutes.

Same as everyone else

This is my first review of anything. I have played many different games. I just had to write something on ICO though. Just read anyone elses review. The bad part of the game is that it ends.

The most impressive video game I have ever played.

Just read the other reviews... 'nuf said. Still, I'd like to point out a few things that I found special about the game.

-Comhesive architecture. Even though the game is linear, you'll be walking somewhere and look down and say 'oh, I remember that part there was a puzzle and I had to do...'; Throughout the game, you'll eventually end up exploring every part of the castle, nothing is there "just for show"
-Grahpics. Contrary to what some people might say, I found the graphics to be very good. In terms of pixel count or raw power, Ico doens't hold up against most games, but it's strength lies in it's presentation. The game seems to have a fuzzy look to it, but even when you zoom in, it the quality doesn't depreciate that much, but adds to the overall dream-like quality of the game.
-Playtime. Even though it only took me 10 hours to beat the game, I savored every minute. Everything just feels right for some reason, and although some people complain (mostly an afterthought) the game is too short, nobody has yet lodged a specific complaint, saying "This part should have been longer". Yes, it's only 10 hours, but it's an excellent 10 hours.

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR BLOOD AND ACTION

a great game

I picked up this game just because i had alot of mone and i went to the store onbe day and got it cuz it was only 29.99. Not knowing anything about it i started to play it. It is different than most games. It is beautiful in the sense that it has great graphics. Just cuz the batles are easy doesnt mean you should dis it. I fell in love with the game jkust cuz it is a great adventure on a different level than other games. The end is sad and im 15 and cried cuz it was sad and the game is so touching. I will always rember this game cuz it is so good and WE NEED A SEQUEL, ICO 2. Im waiting for one.

Ico is one of the best games i have ever played. The puzzles are not hard but there not easy either and the fighting system has a lot of cool combos. One of the down sides is the monsters are all black shadows that just take different form. What really makes this game challenging is your protecting a princess from all the mosters and if they get her then you lose and some times that gets really annoying but if you like a good puzzle and a good adventure I highly reccomend Ico: )

very fun game!

this is one of my favorite games for the PS2. the graphics are amazing, and the gameplay is very good. the only downside was that this game could be completed in 10 hours or less. but who cares about that right?

This is asctually one of the best PS2 games I've ever played! Although it is a little confusing at the beginning, players will learn quickly how to control the game. My favorate thing about this game is how it is not to easy, but not to hard, with battling and solving the puzzles. If you don't buy this game, your are missing out on one of the greatest games playstation 2 has to offer.

Awesome

In this game you play as a young boy named Ico, he has been banished from his village and taken to a remote castle and placed in a crypt to die. (His village considers him bad luck and blames him for everything bad that happens, because he was born with horns.) The game begins when his crypt falls over and he is able to break free. Once free he embarks on a journey to free himself from the castle and stumbles upon a mysteryous girl locked inside a cage. Once he frees her, he must help escort her from the castle and defend her against shawdow monsters who attempt to take her back to the shadow realm. This is not as easy as it sounds because the girl (Yorda) is very weak and disoriented. As Ico you must take her by the hand and lead her through the perilous castle, all the while solving puzzles to help her across obstacles to join you. While this may sound very hard and complev, ot isn't, the puzzles are not too difficult to solve. All you have to do is look around and think a little. Using a strategy guide for this game would destroy the beauty and enjoyment of the games environment. Take some time to just look around at the amazing graphics and you'll see what I mean! Buy this game today, you won't be sorry!!!

Good one..

This game is quite original, which makes it funner to play. The whole thing revolves around strategy/puzzles, and hitting things with sticks. Nice game, with great graphics and lots of replay value.

Awesome

This game is very cool, when you zoom into the character, the game plays like a cg animation. This is one of the most atmospheric games I've played, second only to the final fantasy series. Dark Cloud (...), but Sony has reedeemed themselves with this release. Highly Reccomended!
