No, that\'s where Ico seperates itself from all the window dressing art games. The Ico level design is a superb kinetic puzzle which works flawlessly together with the controls/ moves of the character (which are 3D movements btw, not animated XYZ moves on a virtual horizontal plane). (c\'mon dude, read the friggin\' hundreds of reviews and see the many raves about Ico\'s gameplay\'s what makes it shine)
If you wanna go insisting it\'s not great , go ahead, and enjoy your games which you find great which i might find mediocre or crap.
