Ico?
« on: August 28, 2001, 11:55:20 AM »
Im a little puzzled, well, more than usual.  I have never played Ico only read about it and looked at screenshots so im opening myself up for flaming here but whats the deal with Ico?  So many people and magazines are saying that this game could be the underdog of the year.  Who the heck wants to drag a princess through an entire game?  Who the heck want to try and complete impossible-looking puzzles.  Why is the mood so foggy and bland?  Why are the enemies dark shadows ?  Is there something im missing here, or just a few marbles?

You don\'t drag her the whole game. More like 15 minutes. And trust me, play the demo and that will completely change your mind.

The demo was awesome. It reminded me of some of the adventure games from the early 90\'s, like Out of this Word and Flashback. Only it was in 3D.

What I like about Ico is because is a completely different game.  Although I never play it before.  What is so interesting?  well, for once, the lighting was so well done.  the graphic is awesome not to mention real shadow.   Crazy lighting and shadow effects.
playstation 2 rules.  Nintendo Starcube Dolphin drools.  Hehehahahheheheh...
