Just finnished Shadow of the Colossus, and bought ICO the next day cos it's from the same makers. I've not had a chance to play it yet, and I was wondering if it was any good, because to be honoust, it looks sorta like a kiddies game, but I'm not usually one to judge a book by it's cover, and thought I'd ask you guys.
shareA kiddy game?! I should slap you for that! Just kidding :P
It's a really good game, the boxart for the american release is pretty lame compared to the Jap/Euro version which is more surrealistic in art.
But yes, it's a truly great gem, and by far one of the few art like games ever made. A simple, yet compelling tale of a boy with horns and a mysterious girl trying to flee a dark castle ruled by an evil queen.
Play it, love it. I'm serious, it's a great time!
Since I started this post, I have started playing ICO, and I am very surprised. It's amazing and also very hard. Took me ages to kill the two flying shadow things just before the trolley thing (I'm talking about an hour.LOL.)BTW what does the box art for the American game look like . The one I've got has (a very small) Ico and the girl running for a ladder with a big windmill thing in the backgroud
