Yeah, i said it. i waited ages for MGS2 but on hindsight, it didn\'t meet expectations at all. the graphics were excelent
in MGS2 but it didn\'t hold it together for me. ICO is a marvel in all aspects of the game

MGS2 and Ico were THE games to await the last months
here in Europe. When it comes to hype these games are
each others opposites  So everybody had ultra high
xpectations for MGS2 while Ico was a sleeperhit candidate.
MGS2\'s story baffled me at first with it\'s somewhat shallow
and over-the-top plot, whereas Ico gets one hooked from
the get-go. Now I must say that the second time you play
MGS2, the story makes more sense and I find myself playing
this game again and again. I haven\'t finished Ico yet, but
it\'s a marvelous game featuring top gameplay and graphics.
I also find it very re-assuring Sony CAN indeed create such
a fine game on it\'s own PS2 hardware. 3DO can learn from
this ! LOL

I hated ICO it was all nothing but good graphics to me. The battle system just suck. And the monster where horrible. And the wooden stick was just awful. And I am not a big puzzle fan so the game was a huge let down for me.

Im getting it on Thursday!

YES!


QuDDus: Its not a frickin action game! And Im not surprised you didnt understand it..

haha... Your pretty stupid aren\'t ya?

dont know about ICO, demo is good, graphics are nice but dont think they are better than MGS2, characters lack detail.

Have read its too short, and lacks any replay value, fair comment or harsh reviewers????

Depends on peoples tastes, each to their own. but i believe that it looks better than MGS2.
the game will take you about 9 - 10 hours to comlete but those 10 hours are all gaming heaven.
The level design is amazing but if you look closely at the characters, i believe that there cell shaded. use the shoulder
button to zoom in on them and they do look cell shaded.

Personally, i love this type of game and if you remotley like anything adventurous then this is for you.

"Characters lack detail...." phah.. Why did i and 90 % of reviewers
get emotionally attached to them so much then.

Well the character models in Ico have less polygons than the
player models in MGS2, true. But Ico\'s characters shine because
of the superb handcrafted animation, so judging that based on
static screenshots doesn\'t do this game any justice. Ok MGS2\'s
animation are also topnotch, but in Ico you can see how they
are all so fine, detailed and fit to the environment and situations
just like in a cartoon.

I personally found ICO to be a piece of crapola\', but that is just my opinion on the game. As for the often mentioned Shadows of Destiny (okay, so maybe its never mentioned, except for this thread), well that game just kicked total ass. A highly original idea and simply one of the best PS2 games out.

I know that\'s what I\'m sayin! That and Ico are awesome games. Ones that when you think about it.. You seem to remember the good old days... Like you miss it terribly.

wells its a bit pointless having high detailed characters, the view is norm,ally zoomed out, so you couldnt see the detail anyways!!!


i think it looks very good, move very smooth!!! also has some replay as the 2nd time through you get to see what the princess says!!! also there are many games you can complete once, and the 2nd time through  nothing changes, but it doesnt stop you playing i again i you really enjoyed it the first time
