Title: I finally got ICO...
Post by: on August 14, 2002, 12:31:09 PM
Just what the title said. I finally got the game, and i have 2 words : kick ass. One of the first games where you dont just have to walk through it, you have to think a little. I\'m still playing it though, and can\'t wait to find out if they escape (of course they will :rolleyes: ) I was wondering- are there any games like this? More of a puzzle/adventure, rather than an action one. I think its great.

Yes yes! Great game.  ICO is a masterpiece.

I STILL haven\'t been able to get my friend to even play the game.  I\'ve been bugging him about it since I got the game.  He just doesn\'t seem to believe me it\'s amazing.

I finally got a chance to spend some time with it over at Sam Goody today while I was applying for a job. Can\'t say I\'m impressed with the graphics.. in fact.. I\'m pretty dissapointed in em. The gameplay is ace tho. Controls are tight and responsive, and the puzzles are fairly streightforward. Not really too many adventure game elements like I was hoping for, but enough to make it solidly a "Tomb Raider" kinda adventure.. with puzzles based on jumping, climbing, and flipping switches. I\'m sure there\'s more to it since this was just a demo. Unlike Tomb Raider tho, the puzzles are all pretty logical and I had no problems whatsoever finding the girl and getting her out of her cage. Having to lead her around to keep her from getting captured by the shadow monsters added a new, and refreshing depth to the gameplay.

I can see why it wasn\'t very popular, but is a sleeper hit. It\'s a very solid game that\'s alot of fun to play.. but jus won\'t clique with the mainstream gamer.

ICO demo sux0rz! :p  

At least compared to the full game.  The ending alone made it worth my $50, IMO.
